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

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

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

[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

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

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

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

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

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

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
