Things Metamorphosed

tearing teeth out
in the bad dream
suffocation - pulling wings off
I'm invisible to my friends
I'm invisible to my friends
don't feel so drained (it's ok)
(pulling wings off them)
don't be so afraid (it's ok)
(pulling wings off them)
don't try hold on (it's ok)
(even though I'm here)
don't try hold on (it derails)
(even though I'm there)

for if I'm ever in your arms
could I ever be the one?
just tell me if I'm there
if I'm ever up the stairs
if there's one thing I love about you
it's that you keep me around
I wait for the summer thaw
but it never comes around

I woke from a dream
And you were there
You looked at me
And you were handing out gifts
They were for young boys
And you looked so old
Where did this go wrong?
Germs and open cuts
I know it's now or never but it doesn't feel that way
Panic over nothing, I'm tired of it all
The saddening times
I can't pity you anymore
This is not my regret to hold
Or my disease to keep at bay
I wish I could erase it all
Save myself, keep you away
Where I'm not haunted by your past
Looking for a way to make things last
Down the drain like some blood
Waiting for the wash-away in the flood.

it comes down on you
feel it on your back
thrash against it
like an aircrash
hopeless boy
the invisible juggernaut
'til the end
invisibly crushing

Why Me
04:57
|
|||
|
I'm too afraid to try things
outside of the norm
but I know somewhere I want to
I don't want to disappoint
you know I would say I love you
for the rest of my life
though I know somewhere in my heart
that isn't very long
the one thing that breaks my heart
is I know you'll be around
but I don't want to see anyone
no one's got a thing I want
why me?
my bitterness is a sin
but who the fuck made Him
the boss of everyone?
He's already killing me
I wish I could travel back
in time and be happy
see everything clearly
maybe when I'm gone, I will
the one thing that breaks my heart
is I know you'll be around
but I don't want to see anyone
no one's got a thing I want
why me?

Hypocrite
03:48

|
I'm waiting for someone to save me
I don't know who I am
afraid I never will
I've finally told the truth for once
I pray to a God I don't believe in
but it helps me save my soul
I'm waiting for my love to save me
I don't know who I am
she might have the answer

Trial.
05:26

you are not there
you are gone
you've bent
all out of shape
wake up - you're squirming
on the dusty floor
you're scared
get to work, man
wake up - you're squirming
wake up - you're squealing

Skin
03:30
|
|||

you're lying on the outside
but you're foiled on the inside
the lips you use to break hearts
and these mechanical counterparts
all has broken up
winter time has come and gone
I know nothing better than to shed my skin
forget you, forget youth, forget you and me
curtain shade and spoiled tea
the spiral always starts here
therapeutic organ slaves
final time for change
all has broken down
winter time has come and gone
I know nothing better than to shed my skin
forget you, forget youth, forget you and me

On a Tired Night
03:36
|
|||
|
if we ever meet again
on a passing train
in a passing rain
where a day slips past
and a night won't last
we'll make it last
if we ever meet again
and the timing's right
on a tired night

For a Butterfly
06:24
|
|||
|
you're a butterfly
and you'll never die
you'll just fly away - fly away
it'll be alright
nothing ever dies
it gets filed away
there have been some times
where I just want to cry
you sent them all away
I'm scared to say too much
I lack the tender touch
but you know what to say
I don't know what to say
I shield myself from hurt
it's new to me but old for you
there's nothing else for me
there's nowhere else for me
(For a Butterfly
That will never die
All will be ok
For another day)
