Quicksand Lyrics
5 ContributorsQuicksand LyricsSlow, 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, yeah, I need to get up
Nevermind, 'cause I, I've done enough
'Cause 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, I've taken what's left, I took it all
And now you won't let me forget, forget, forget
Now that 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
Stop you're talking down
I lack the strength to sit or stand
I lost my self confidence
In the quicksand
In the quicksand
In the quicksand
In the quicksand
Not now or ever
Sink slowly my treasure
Not now or ever
Sink slowly my treasure
Not now or ever
Sink slowly my treasure
Not now
Not now
Not now
Not now
'Cause 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
Tip Lyrics
5 ContributorsTip LyricsKeep on repeating something...
Keep on repeating something...
Keep on repeating...
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 it 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, hey
Dah, hah, huh
No, huh
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, hey
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
No, some other day you'll fool them all
One more day to drop the ball
One more day to fade away, hey
Away, hey
Duh, dah, heh
Now, ha, huh
Duh, dah, dah
Now, duh, fah
Duh, huh, buh
Duh, huh, buh
Shudder Lyrics
4 ContributorsShudder LyricsSo 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
No truth I can confirm
No truth that I can sense
Passing time I can't recall
The truth it surfaces
Open eyes, open heart
Open up and fall apart
Could it be that I'm fading far away
Straight out of it
I'll, I'll be that burden you bear
I'll, I'll be that burden you bear
I'll, I'll be that burden you bear
I'll, I'll be that burden you
No truth I can confirm
No truth that I can sense
Passing time I can't recall
The truth it surfaces
The truth it surfaces
The truth it surfaces
The truth it surfaces
The truth it surfaces
Could it be that I'm fading far away
Straight out of it
I'll, I'll be that burden you bear
I'll, I'll be that burden you bear
I'll, I'll be that burden you bear
I'll, I'll be that burden you
Burden you
Burden you
Burden you
Burden you
Above Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Inside I'm gone
You knew that all, all along
Without the distance you never get away (yeah hey, yeah hey)
Plastic bag image
It's over now, it's over now
The color fading is all the way to grey (yeah hey, yeah hey)
[Chorus]
We are strong but we're dumb
We look above, we look above
We are strong but we're dumb
We look above, we look above
[Verse 2]
Trusting the instinct
It's not about what you think
The one reaction is only to obey (yeah hey, yeah hey)
And I'm staring
All around, I'm not far down
Judge the distance from the ground and pray (yeah hey, yeah hey)
[Chorus]
We are strong but we're dumb
We look above, we look above
We are strong but we're dumb
We look above, we look above, yeah
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus]
We are strong but we're dumb
We look above, we look above
We are strong but we're dumb
We look above, we look above
We are strong but we're dumb
We look above, we look above
We are strong but we're dumb
We look above, we look above
[Outro]
We look above
Yeah (yeah hey, yeah hey)
We look above, we look above
Yeah hey, yeah hey, hey
Condenser Lyrics
4 ContributorsCondenser LyricsI felt the best that I can feel
Censored every memory
Give me yours so I can feed mine
Anywhere but far away
Can't be what you meant to say
I won't miss you in the meantime
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
That's just what I see
That's what I came to see
Now you shut me out
Closing up into the end
Try to start it up again
Lower voice and tired heartbeats
Take away the self-esteem
Force it through to get relief
Taking everything that I need
All jokes aside, you should decide
If it pleases or pains you
You should be allowed, but you were beat out
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, 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
That's just what I see
That's what I came to see
Now you shut me out
I feel left out
Now you shut me out
Thin Spirits Lyrics
5 ContributorsThin Spirits LyricsAnother face
Another empty space
The feelings fade
And all the lonely ones are left hiding
They're left hiding
There's no way, there's no way that
Your spirit's so 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 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
Won't listen
There's no way, there's no way that
Your spirit's so 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 and over
And over and over
There's no way, there's no way that
Your spirit's so 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 and over
And over and
Your spirit's so 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 and over
And over and
And over and over and over and
And over and over and over and
And over and over and over and
Glimpse Lyrics
3 ContributorsGlimpse LyricsTell me what you need to hear and I'll tell it to you again
I can fake it all if you can too, if you can too
I know you, why don't you take what you need and then
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 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
Me, 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 go away
I know you, why don't you take what you need
Die to get another glimpse and
So I'll watch the water rinse
Until we all get washed away
I never needed someone comforting me
Comforting
Down I go
Down I go
Down, down I go
Down, down I go
Why don't you take what you need
Die to get another glimpse and
So I'll watch the water rinse
Until we all get washed away
We will all get washed away
Die to get another glimpse and
So I'll watch the water rinse
Until we all get washed away
I never needed someone comforting me
Me, me
Costume for a Gutterball Lyrics
4 ContributorsCostume for a Gutterball LyricsThe mask keeps on slipping and tearing
The holes aren't 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
You see me disappear
Taken in, taken away
Caught in another memory
Looking for something left to see
And now I want something
The one in the corner, it's moving
Slowly up, slowly down
Never too brilliant or clever
It won't turn around
The mask keeps on slipping and tearing
The holes aren't big enough to see
No one will know that I'm looking
They can't get to me
So slow, you see me disappear
Taken in, taken away
You see me disappear
Taken in, taken away
Caught in another memory
Looking for something left to see
Now I want something
So slow, you see me disappear
Taken in, taken away
You see me disappear
Taken in, taken away
Caught in another memory
Looking for something left to see
Now I want something
Temporary Arms Lyrics
5 ContributorsTemporary Arms LyricsI 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
The strain wears in
You whore me in again
Cannot connect the smirking world
The poison flower comes uncurled
If I believe
If I believe
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
Someone with me
Someone with me
No better feeling than escape
Avoid the feeling so you're
Collapsing in again you found what makes it sore
You triggered off the feelings that you felt before
All the guilt pulls away
If only forever
All the guilt pulls away
If only forever
Replace the name, replace the fear
And I can't come out, but I want you here
And I'm laughing now and then it floods
But not out loud
I come crawling up again
I need to eat, I need a friend
I feel you up and feel you down
I need your space, I need it now
Now I need it, now I need it
Now I need it, now I need it
Now I need it, now I need it
Now I need it, now I need it
Now, now I need it, now
Now, now I need it, now
Now, now I need it, now
Now, now I need it, now
Now I need it
Now I need it
Collapsing in again you found what makes it sore
You triggered off the feelings that you felt before
Another circumstance has gone and shut you down
Another fear awakened in the fault you found
Swallowtail Lyrics
4 ContributorsSwallowtail LyricsLet 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 me
Open mouth feels warm
Secrets swollen, so sore
We all know and we can't ask why
You turned into an ugly butterfly
Sorry you're gone
The voices they left me thinking
I'm sorry
The words that I've forgotten now
Try to come but can't come out
Open mouth feels warm
Secrets swollen, so sore
We all know and we can't ask why
You turned into an ugly butterfly
We all know that we can't go through
