quicksand * slow sinking feeling kills the mood you're conveying/and it pulls me far down below it might be best if you go/can it not wait and hope for the best/will it not stop a while to rest/I need to get up never mind cause I've done enough * the world waits around but I keep slipping and losing ground/do I not try so hard so good/I can't keep changing just because you think I should * said all I need to and you don't understand still/wish you saw picture my minds eyes are deep and they're cynical/one taken four more kills the pain healing that sore/I've taken what's left I took it all/and now you won't let me forget * stop you're talking down/I lack in strength to sit or stand/I lost my self confidence/in the quicksand * not now or ever/ sink slowly my treasure

tip * I gave it all I gave it up then/I took it in and got enough but/I try to cancel out/ whatever I can't laugh about * so what does that say/there can't be anyway/I've done my worst and no one knows * one more day to fool them all/one more day to drop the ball/one more day to fade away * fill a head with sand just to make it better/I had the chance to beat it in but I never/I should have taken it right then * one more day to fool them all/one more day to drop the ball/one more day to fade away * now you've been taken/you won't stop shaking/embrace every minute/you're all that's left in it/it's not happening/some other day you'll fool them all/one more day to drop the ball/one more day to fade away

shudder * so sad to everyone/did not occur to you/wake up an empty shell/someone to crawl into * dead days refuse to dream/the blanket still asleep/concealing every flaw/till you uncover me * could it be that I'm fading far away straight out of it * no truth I can confirm/no truth that I can sense/passing time I can't reacall/the truth it surfaces * open eyes open heart/ open up and fall apart * I'll be that burden you bear

consolation day * I can't lose anything/so what's left is mine/and I win this time * can I call you up/and speak soft to you/the words filter through/we're through * consolation day/I'll make up a way/I'll know now just what to say * I'll get away from you/wait and I'll be begging/ I'll pull you down * I saw it all again/fading memory became clear to me/I try but I can't say/ that I'm yours for good/support me you said you would * awake and dreaming/I'm only sleeping

above * inside I'm gone/you knew that all along/without the distance you never get away * plastic bag image/is over now its over now/the color fading is all the way to grey * we are strong but we're dumb/we look above * trusting the instinct/is not about what you think/the one reaction is only to obey * and i'm staring/all around not far down/judge the distance from the ground and pray * we are strong but we're dumb/we look above

condenser * felt the best that I could feel censored every memory/give me yours so I can feed mine/anywhere but far away can't be what you ment to say/I won't miss you in the mean time * all jokes aside you should decide/if it pleases or pains you/you should be allowed but you were beat out/so nothing can save you * closing up into the end try to start it up again/a lower voice and tired heart beats/take away the self esteem force it through to get relief/taking everything that I need * spirits all keep coming down/come around with answers/I'll cut my teeth in slivers/you're up and gone and senseless/broken open your abscess * is it all or is it none/I can't decide/closing all the one way doors/till I am left outside/that's just what I see/ that's what I came to see/now you shut me out/I feel left out

thin spirits * another face/another empty space/the feelings fade/and all the lonely ones are left hiding * your spirits are thin/there's nothing left to take/without rhyme or reason/ you point the other way/I don't need to watch as/you go down in flames i said over and over * the water comes /and leaves its faint traces/you're bored to tears/I'll keep you here but you won't listen

glimpse * tell me what you need to hear and I'll tell it to you again/I can fake it all if you can too/will it stop from bleeding naturally enough/can I hold my tongue in silent the words are slow and repeating/I know you why don't you take what you need and then go away/ I know you why don't you take what you need * die to get another glimpse in/so I'll watch the water rinse/until we all get washed away/I never needed someone comforting me * I don't think I told you how I feel tonight/you perfect little angel you're beautiful even now/I know you why don't you take what you need and then go away/I know you why don't you take what you need * die to get another glimpse in/so i'll watch the water rinse/until we all get washed away/ I never needed someone comforting me

costume for a gutterball * the mask keeps on slipping and tearing/the holes are big enough to see/I strain and I'm bending to hear you/what did you tell me * so slow/you see me disappear/taken in taken away * caught in another memory/looking for something left to see/ now I want something * the one in the corner its moving/slowly up slowly down/never too brilliant or clever/it won't turn around/no one will know that I'm looking/they can't get to me

temporary arms * I burn and melt and stick and fade/your temporary arms invade/ one of many last warnings/cannot wipe the conscience clean * the strain wears in you whore me in again * cannot connect the smirking world/the poison flower comes uncurled/if I believe i'm dreaming * and if they find you lost again/what will you tell them then * collapsing in again you found what makes it sore/you triggered off the feelings that you felt before * I come crawling up again I need to eat I need a friend/some one with me/ no better feeling than escape avoid the feeeling so you're * all the guilt pulls away if only forever * replace the name replace the fear/I can't come out but I want you here/I'm laughing now and then it floods/but not out loud * I feel you up I feel you down/I need your space I need it now/another circumstance has gone and shut you down/another fear awakened in the fault you found

swallowtail * let me in/and let me go/tell me that/I need to know * swallow the key/swallow the key * you feel compelled/but its far too late to try and tell me now/so I'll try to suck it out * open mouth feels warm/secrets swollen so sore * we all know and we can't ask why/you turned into an ugly butterfly * that shape of you/closes in and forms a shade of grey/hanging over hanging mev * sorry you're gone/the voices they leftme thinking * the words that I've forgotten now/try to come but can't come out
