from the soundtrack to "Lost Highway"
THE PERFECT DRUG
I got my head, but my head is unravelling.Can't keep control, can't keep track of where it's travelling.
I've got my heart, but my heart is no good,
And you're the only one that's understood.
I come along, but I don't know where you're taking me.
I shouldn't go, but you're reaching, dragging, shaking me.
Turn off the sun, pull the stars from the sky.
The more I give to you, the more I die.
And I want you. You are the perfect drug.
You make me hard when I'm all soft inside.
I see the truth when I'm all stupid eyed.
The arrow goes straight through my heart.
Without you, everything just falls apart.
My blood, it wants to say hello to you.
My feelings want to get inside of you.
My soul is so afraid to realise every little word is a little of me.
And I want you. You are the perfect drug.
Take me with you.
Without you everything falls apart.
Without you it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces.
from the album "The Fragile"
SOMEWHAT DAMAGED
So impressed with all you do, tried so hard to be like you.Flew too high and burnt the wing, lost my faith in everything.
Lick around divine debris, taste the wealth of hate in me.
Shedding skin, succumb defeat, this machine is obsolete.
Made the choice to go away, drink the fountain of decay.
Tear a hole, exquisite red, fuck the rest and stab it dead.
Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore, too fucked up to care anymore.
Poisoned to my rotten core, too fucked up to care anymore.
In the back, off the side and far away is a place where I hide, where I stay,
Tried to say, tried to ask, I needed to, all alone, by myself, where were you?
How could I ever think it's funny how
Everything that swore it wouldn't change is different now?
Just like you would always say we'll make it though,
Then my head fell apart, and where were you?
How could I ever think it's funny how
Everything you swore would never change is different now?
Like you said, you and me, make it through,
Didn't quite, fell apart, where the fuck were you?
THE DAY THE WORLD WENT AWAY
I listened to the words he'd say, but in his voice I heard decay.The plastic face forced to portray all the insides left cold and grey.
There is a place that still remains, it eats the fear, it eats the pain.
The sweetest price he'll have to pay, the day the whole world went away.
THE WRETCHED
Just a reflection, just a glimpse, just a little reminderOf all the what abouts and all the might have, could have beens.
Another day, some other way, but not another reason not to continue.
And now you're one of us, the wretched.
The hope and prays, the better days, the far aways, forget it.
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to.
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it, did it?
Now you know this is what it feels like.
The clouds will part and the sky cracks open
And God Himself will reach His fucking arm through
Just to push you down, just to hold you down,
Stuck in this hole with the shit and the piss,
And it's hard to believe it could come down to this.
Back at the beginning, sinking, spinning.
And in the end, we still pretend the time we spend,
Not knowing when you're finally free, and you could be.
But it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to.
It didn't turn out quite the way that you wanted it.
Now you know this is what it feels like.
You can try to stop it, but it keeps on coming.
WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER
I've become impossible, holding on to when everything seemed to matter more.The two of us, all used and beaten up, watching fate as it flows down the path we have chose.
You and me, we're in this together now.
None of them can stop us now, we will make it through somehow.
You and me, if the world should break in two,
Until the very end of me, until the very end of you.
Awake to the sound as they peel apart the skin.
They pick and they pull, trying to get their fingers in.
Well they got to kill what we've found, well they got to hate what they fear.
Well they got to make it go away, well they got to make it disappear.
The farther I fall I'm beside you, as lost as I get I will find you.
The deeper the wound I'm inside you, forever and ever I am a part of
You and me, we're in this together now.
None of them can stop us now, we will make it through somehow.
You and me, if the world should break in two.
Until the very end of me, until the very end of you.
All that we were is gone, we have to hold on.
When all our hope is gone, we have to hold on.
All that we were is gone, but we can hold on.
You and me, we're in this together now.
None of them can stop us now, we will make it through somehow.
You and me, even after everything, you're the queen and I'm the king,
Nothing else means anything.
THE FRAGILE
She shines in a world full of ugliness.She matters when everything is meaningless.
Fragile, she doesn't see her beauty, she tries to get away.
Sometimes it's just that nothing seems worth saving, I can't watch her slip away.
I won't let you fall apart.
She reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by, hoping someone will see.
If I could fix myself, I'd... but it's too late for me.
I won't let you fall apart.
We'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide.
I'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side, but they keep waiting, and picking...
It's something I have to do; I was there too.
Before everything else, I was like you.
I won't let you fall apart.
EVEN DEEPER
I woke up today to find myself in the other place,With a trail of my footprints from where I ran away.
Seems everything I've heard just might be true, and you know me - well, you think you do.
Sometimes I have everything, yet I wish I felt something.
Do you know how far this has gone? Just how damaged have I become?
When I think I can overcome, it runs even deeper.
In a dream I'm a different me, with a perfect you, w fit perfectly.
For once in my life I feel complete, and I still want to ruin it.
Afraid to look, as clear as day, this plan has long been under way.
I hear them call, I cannot stay, the voice inviting me away.
Do you know how far this has gone? Just how damaged have I become?
When I think I can overcome, it runs even deeper.
Everything that matters is gone, all the hands of hope have withdrawn.
Could you try to help me hang on?
I'm straight, I won't crack, on my way and I can't turn back.
I'm okay, I'm on track, on my way and I can't turn back.
I stayed on this track, gone too far and I can't come back.
I stayed on this track, lost my way, can't come back.
NO, YOU DON'T
Smiling in their faces while filling up the hole.So many dirty little places in your filthy little worn out broken down see through soul.
Baby's got a problem, tries so hard to hide.
Got to keep it on the surface because everything else is dead on the other side.
Teeth in the necks of everyone you know, you can keep on sucking til the blood won't flow.
When it starts to hurt it only helps it grow, taking all you need, but not this time,
No, you don't.
Just for the record, just so you know, I did not believe that you could sink so low.
You think that you can beat them, I know that you won't.
You think you have everything, but, no you don't.
THE GREAT BELOW
Staring at the sea, will she come?Is there hope for me after all is said and done?
Anything at any price, all of this for you.
All the spoils of a wasted life, all of this for you.
All the world has closed her eyes, tired faith all worn and thin,
For all we could have done and all that could have been.
Ocean pulls me close and whispers in my ear,
The destiny I've chose all becoming clear.
The currents have their say, the time is drawing near.
Washes me away, makes me disappear.
And I descend from grace in arms of undertow.
I will take my place in the great below.
I can still feel you, even so far away.
THE WAY OUT IS THROUGH
All I've undergone, I will keep on.Underneath it all we feel so small.
The heavens fall, but still we crawl.
INTO THE VOID
Tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away.Talking to myself all the way to the station,
Pictures in my head of the final destination.
All lined up, all the ones that aren't allowed to stay.
Tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away.
Tried to save a place from the cuts and the scratches,
Tried to overcome the complications and the catches.
Nothing ever grows if the sun doesn't shine all day.
Tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away.
WHERE IS EVERYBODY?
Did you happen to catch, or did it happen so fast?And what you thought would always last has passed you by.
Is everything speeding up or am I slowing down?
I'm just spinning around and I don't know why.
All the pieces don't fit, thought I really didn't give a shit.
I never wanted to be like you, but for all I aspire I am only a liar,
And I'm running out of things I can do.
I'd like to stay, but every day everything pushes me further away.
If you could show, help me to know how it's supposed to be, where did it go?
Pleading and needing and bleeding and breeding, feeding, exceeding, where is everybody?
Trying and lying, defying, denying, crying and dying, where is everybody?
Well okay enough, you've had your fun, but come on,
There has got to be someone that hasn't yet become so numb and succumb,
And goddamn, I am so tired of pretending, of wishing I was ending
When all I'm really doing is trying to hide and keep it inside,
Fill it with lies, open my eyes, maybe I wish I could try.
Pleading and needing and bleeding and breeding, feeding, exceeding, where is everybody?
Trying and lying, defying, denying, crying and dying, where is everybody?
PLEASE
(I'm getting closer all the time.)This is how it begins, push it away but it all comes back again.
All the flesh, all the sin,
There was a time when it used to mean just about everything, just like now.
Breathe, echoing the sound, time starts slowing down, sink until I drown,
I don't ever want to make it stop.
And it keeps repeating, 'Will you please complete me?'
Never be enough to fill me up.
Watch the white turn to red.
It fills up the hole, but it grows somewhere else instead.
All my life, but it just left me dead.
The world is over and I realise it was all in my head.
Now everything is clear, I erase the fear, I can disappear.
Please, I don't ever want to make it stop.
You can never leave me. Will you please complete me?
Never be enough to fill me up.
STARFUCKERS, INC.
My god sits in the back of the limousineMy god comes in a wrapper of cellophane.
My god pouts on the cover of the magazines
My god's a shallow little bitch trying to make the scene.
I have arrived and this time you should believe the hype.
I listened to everyone, now I know that everyone was right.
I'll be there for you as long as it works for me.
I play a game, it's called insincerity.
Starfuckers Incorporated.
I am every fucking thing and just a little more.
I sold my soul, but don't you dare call me a whore.
And when I suck you off, not a drop will go to waste.
It's really not so bad, you know, once you get past the taste. (asskisser)
Starfuckers Incorporated.
All our pain, how did you think we'd get by without you?
You're so vain; I'll bet you think this song is about you, don't you?
Now I belong, I'm one of the chosen ones.
Now I belong, I'm one of the beautiful ones.
Starfuckers Incorporated, here they come.
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO JOINING YOU, FINALLY
As black as the night can get, everything is safer now.There's always a way to forget once you learn to find a way how.
In the blur of serenity, where did everything get lost?
The flowers of naïveté buried in a layer of frost.
The smell of sunshine I remember sometimes.
Thought he had it all before they called his bluff.
Found out that his skin just wasn't thick enough.
Wanted to go back to how it was before.
Thought he lost everything, then he lost a whole lot more.
A fool's devotion, swallowed up in empty space.
The tears of regret frozen to the side of his face.
The smell of sunshine I remember sometimes.
I've done all I can do. Could I please come with you?
Sweet smell of sunshine I remember sometimes.
THE BIG COME DOWN
There is a game I play, try to make myself okay,Try so hard to make the pieces all fit, smash it apart just for the fuck of it.
Got to get back to the bottom, the big come down, isn't that what you wanted?
Find a place with the failed and forgotten, isn't that really what you wanted now?
There is no place I can go, there is no way I can hide.
It feels like it keeps coming from the inside.
There is a hate that burns within, the most desperate place I have ever been.
Try to get back to where I'm from, the closer I get the worse it becomes.
There is no place I can go, there is no place I can hide.
It feels like it keeps coming from the inside.
UNDERNEATH IT ALL
All I do, I can still feel you. Numb all through, I can still feel you.Hear your call underneath it all. Kill my brain, yet you still remain.
Crucified after all I've died, after all I've tried, you are still inside.
All I do, I can still feel you.
(You remain, I am stained.)
from the "We're in This Together" single (version 2)
THE NEW FLESH
Sideways sometimes, some things feel like I'm on the other side.Waves of every feeling ever felt, screaming.
(Hold it close so I can taste it.
I've watched this scene a thousand times, and in my head this is how it all begins.
Yes, I am becoming, and this is how it all begins.
What did you expect? This is not an exit. This has begun.
I almost see, the blackest eyes, the new flesh, a new disguise, welcoming.
Please give it to me, I can take it.)
Give it to me, I can take it, I'm becoming.
from the EP "Things Falling Apart"
METAL
We're in the building where they make us grow,And I'm frightened by the liquid engineers, like you.
My Mallory heart is sure to fail,
I could crawl around the floor just like I'm real, like you.
The sound of metal, I want to be you, I should learn to be a man, like you.
Plug me in and turn me on, everything is moving.
I need my treatment, it's tomorrow, they send me, singing 'I am an American.' Do you?
Picture this, if I should make the change, I'd love to pull the wires from the wall. Did you?
And who are you, and how can I try? Here inside, I like the metal. Don't you?
All I know is no one dies, I'm still confusing love with need.
10 MILES HIGH
(I'm getting closer all the time.)I tried to get so high.
I made it ten miles high, I'm gonna get so high.
I'm gonna get so high, you'll never get inside.
I swore I'd never turn into you, I'm closer all the time.
I made it ten miles high, can't tell my truth from my lies.
I swore to God I would never turn into you, I'm getting closer all the time.
Tear it all down.
from the soundtrack to "Tomb Raider"
DEEP
Blank stare, disrepair, there's a big black hole gonna eat me up someday.Someday fades away like a memory, or a place that you'd rather be.
Someplace, lost in space, itch in my head that's telling me somewhere,
Somewhere out there, anywhere, I don't care, get me out of here.
If I could feel all the pins and the pricks,
If you were real I could take what's apart and put it back together.
This will come true, help me get through into you, deep.
All I can do, driving me through into you, deep.
One track, got you on your back, your skin speaks up but you lips couldn't say it.
Right now I know somehow we could take the chance and we could make it.
Right here, make it all disappear, everything that we've been missing.
You make me feel like there's a part of me that I want to get back again.
Make this come true, help me get through into you, deep.
All I can do, pushing it through into you, deep.
All I can do, driving on through into you, deep.
You're slipping through, I'm coming too, into you, deep.
We could become two into one, leave this behind, over and done,
Everything new, I'm getting through into you.
from "Still"
AND ALL THAT COULD HAVE BEEN
Breeze still carries the sound, maybe I'll disappear.Tracks will fade in the snow, you won't find me here.
Ice is starting to form, ending what had begun.
I am locked in my head with what I've done.
I know you tried to rescue me, didn't let anyone get in.
Left with a trace of all that was, and all that could have been.
Please, take this and run far away from me.
I am tainted, the two of us were never meant to be.
All these pieces and promises and left behinds, if only I could see.
In my nothing, you meant everything to me.
Gone, fading, everything, and all that could have been.
Please, take this and run far away, far as you can see.
I am tainted, and happiness and peace of mind were never meant for me.
All these pieces and promises and left behinds, if only I could see.
In my nothing, you meant everything to me.
from the album "The Downward Spiral - Deluxe Edition"
BURN
This world rejects me, this world threw me away,This world never gave me a chance, this world gonna have to pay.
Well, I don't believe in your institutions, I did what you wanted me to,
And like the cancer in your system, I've got a little surprise for you.
Something inside of me has opened up its eyes.
Why did you put it there? Did you not realise?
This thing inside of me, it screams the loudest sound,
Sometimes I think I could burn.
I look down at where you're standing, flock of sheep all on display,
With all your lies piled up around you, I can take it all away.
Something inside of me has opened up its eyes.
Why did you put it there? Did you not realise?
Something inside of me, it screams the loudest sound,
Sometimes I think I could, I'm gonna burn this whole world down.
I never was a part of you.
I am your saviour, I am corruption, I am the angel of your destruction.
I am perversion, secret desire, I am your future swallowed up in fire.
DEAD SOULS
Someone take these dreams away that point me to another day.A duel of personality, that strange or true reality.
They keep calling me, keep on calling me.
Where figures from the past stand tall, and mocking voices ring the pall.
Imperialistic house of prayer, conquistadors who took their share.
They keep calling me, keep on calling me.
CLOSER TO GOD
You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you,You let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you.
I broke apart my insides, I've got no soul to sell.
The only thing that works for me, help me get away.
I want to fuck you, I want to taste you,
I want to feel you, I want to be you, just like an animal.
You can have my isolation, you can have the hate that it brings,
You can have my absence of faith, you can have my everything.
You tear down all my reason, you see through what I hide,
You make me perfect, help me get inside.
I want to fuck you, I want to taste you,
I want to feel you, I want to be you, just like an animal.
MEMORABILIA
(What do your nipples look like?)Wherever I go I take a little piece of you.
I collect, I reject, photographs I took of you.
Times I passed through, so many faces, so many places,
I've got to have a memory.
I have never been there, I have never had you.
I can't remember, give me your reminder.
I collect, I reject memorabilia.
Keychains and snowstorms, the taste of your sweat, the look in your eye.
I have been inside you, I know what it feels like.
I collect, I reject memorabilia.
Give me your reminder, I can't remember.
from the album “With Teeth”
ALL THE LOVE IN THE WORLD
Watching all the insects march along, seem to know just right where they belong.Smears of face reflecting in the chrome, hiding in the crowd, I’m all alone.
No one’s heard a single word I’ve said, they don’t sound as good outside my head.
It looks as though the past is here to stay, I’ve become a million miles a--
Why do you get all the love in the world?
All the jagged edges disappear, colours all look brighter when you’re near.
The stars are all a fire in the sky, sometimes I get so lonely I could--
Why do you get all the love in the world?
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE?
I tried to sneak myself through, tried to get to the other side,I had to patch up the cracks and the holes that I had to hide.
For a little bit of time, even made it work okay,
Just long enough to really make it hurt
When you figured me out and it all just rotted away.
Don’t you fucking know what you are?
Go on, get back to where you belong.
You better take a good look cause I’m full of shit,
With every bit of my heart I have tried to believe in it.
You can dress it all up, you can try to pretend,
But you can’t change anything in the end.
Don’t you fucking know what you are?
Go on, get back to where you belong.
Remember where you came from, remember what you are.
THE COLLECTOR
I pick things up, I am a collector, and things, well, things, they tend to accumulate.I have this net, it drags behind me, it picks up feelings for me to feed upon.
There are times, plenty of times I wish I could let it go,
They start to breathe and they start to grow inside of me.
There are times, plenty of times I wish I could let it go,
But they start to make me think things I don’t want to know.
I’m trying to fit it all inside, I’m trying to open my mouth wide,
I’m trying not to choke and swallow it all.
I am the plague, I am the swarm, all your hurt sticks on me and I keep it warm.
They make me stay, they won’t let me leave,
They are so goddamn many of them it gets hard to breathe.
I’m trying to fit it all inside, I’m trying to open my mouth wide.
I’m trying not to choke inside,
I am a good boy and I will and swallow it all, every last one.
THE HAND THAT FEEDS
You’re keeping in step, in the line,Got your chin held high and you feel just fine
Cause you do what you’re told,
But inside your heart, it is black and it’s hollow and it’s cold.
Just how deep do you believe? Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds? Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see? Do you want to change it?
What if this whole crusade’s a charade,
And behind it all there’s a price to be paid for the blood which we dine,
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine.
Just how deep do you believe? Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds? Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see? Do you want to change it?
So naïve, I keep holding on to what I want to believe.
I can see, but I keep holding on and on.
Will you bite the hand that feeds you? Will you stay down on your knees?
LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH
The more that we take, the paler we get,I can’t remember what it is, we try to forget.
The tile on the floor, so cold it could sting,
In your eyes is a place worth remembering.
For you to go and take this and smash it apart,
I’ve gone all this fucking way to wind up back at the start.
The closer we think we are, well it only got us so far.
Now you’ve got anything left to show? No, I didn’t think so.
The sooner we realise we cover ourselves with lies,
But underneath we’re not so tough, love is not enough.
Well, it hides in the dark like the withering vein,
We didn’t give it a mouth, so it cannot complain.
It never really had a chance, we’d never really make it through.
I never think I believed I could get better with you.
The closer we think we are, well, it never got us so far.
Now you’ve got anything left to show? No, I didn’t think so.
The sooner we realise we cover ourselves with lies,
But underneath we’re not so tough, love is not enough.
EVERY DAY IS EXACTLY THE SAME
I believe I can see the future, cause I repeat the same routine.I think I used to have a purpose, but then again, that might have been a dream.
I think I used to have a voice, now I never make a sound,
I just do what I’ve been told, I really don’t want them to come around, oh no.
Every day is exactly the same, there is no love here and there is no pain.
Every day is exactly the same.
I can feel their eyes are watching in case I lose myself again.
Sometimes I think I’m happy here, sometimes, yeah, I still pretend.
I can’t remember how this got started, but I can tell you exactly how it will end.
Every day is exactly the same, there is no love here and there is no pain.
Every day is exactly the same.
I’m writing on a little piece of paper I’m hoping someday you might find.
I’ll hide it behind something they won’t look behind.
I am still inside here, a little bit comes bleeding through.
I wish this could have been any other way,
But I just don’t know, I don’t know what else I can do.
WITH TEETH
She comes along, she gets inside, she makes you better than anything you’ve tried.It’s in her kiss, the blackest sea, and it runs deeper than you dare to dream it could be.
With teeth.
Wave goodbye to what you were, the rules have changed, the lines begin to blur.
She makes you hard, it comes on strong, you’ve finally find the place where you belong.
With teeth.
I cannot go through this again.
She will not let you go, keeps holding on.
This time, I’m not coming back, she will not let you go.
ONLY
I’m becoming less defined as days go by,Fading away, well you might say I’m losing focus,
Kind of drifting into the abstract in terms of how I see myself.
Sometimes I think I can see right through myself.
Less concerned about fitting into the world,
Your world, that is, cause it doesn’t really matter anymore.
None of this really matters anymore.
Yes, I am alone, but then again I always was as far back as I can tell.
I think maybe it’s because you were never really real to begin with.
I just made you up to hurt myself, and it worked, yes it did.
There is no you, there is only me; there is no fucking you, there is only me.
Well, the tiniest little dot caught my eye and it turned out to be scab,
And I had this funny feeling like I just knew it’s something bad.
I just couldn’t leave it alone, I kept picking at that scab
Like it was a doorway trying to seal itself shut, but I climbed through.
Now I am somewhere I am not supposed to be
And I can see things I knew I really shouldn’t see,
And now I know why things aren’t as pretty on the inside.
There is no you, there is only me; there is no fucking you, there is only me.
GETTING SMALLER
Getting a little erratic here and I don’t know who to trust.I guess they got a way of reading my mind, I guess I got to adjust.
I got my arms that flip flop flip flop flip, I got my head on a spring,
And I thought I got you on my side, I haven’t got fucking anything.
I’m just a face in the crowd, nothing to worry about, not even trying to stand out.
I’m getting smaller and smaller and I got nothing to say.
It’s all been taken away, I just behave and obey, I’m afraid I’m starting to fade away.
I kind of see through the cracks when I press up on the wall.
I’m not looking to stand up real high, I’d be happy to crawl.
I think I’m losing my grip but I can still make a fist,
You know I’ve still got my one good arm that I can beat myself up with.
I’m just a face in the crowd, nothing to worry about, not even trying to stand out.
I’m getting smaller and smaller and I got nothing to say.
It’s all been taken away, I just behave and obey, I’m afraid I’m starting to fade away.
And for what it’s worth, I really used to believe
That maybe there was some great thing that we could achieve,
And now I can’t tell the difference or know what to feel
Between what I’ve been trying so hard to see, and what appears to be real.
Fading away, my world is getting smaller every day and that’s okay.
SUNSPOTS
Sunspots cast a glare in my eyes, sometimes I forget I’m alive.I feel it coming and I’ve got to get out of its way,
I hear it calling and I come cause I can’t disobey.
I should not listen and I shouldn’t believe, but I do, yes I do.
She turns me on, she makes me real, I have to apologise for the way I feel.
My life, it seems, has taken a turn.
Why in the name of God would I ever want to return?
Peel off our skin, we’re gonna burn what we were to the ground,
Fuck in the fire and we’ll spread all the ashes around.
I want to kill away the rest of what’s left and I do, yes I do.
She turns me on, she makes me real, I have to apologise for the way I feel,
And nothing can stop me now, there is nothing to fear,
And everything I’d ever want is inside of here.
Now I just stare into the sun and I see everything I’ve done.
I think I could have been someone but I can’t stop what has begun.
When everything is said and done and there is no place left to run.
I think I used to be someone, now I just stare into the sun.
THE LINE BEGINS TO BLUR
There are things that I said I would never do,There are fears that I cannot believe have come true,
For my soul is too sick and too little and too late,
And myself I have grown too weary to hate.
The more I stay in here, the more it’s not so clear,
The more I stay in here, the more I disappear.
As far as I have gone, I knew what side I’m on,
But now I’m not so sure, the line begins to blur.
Is there somebody on top of me? I don’t know.
Isn’t anybody stopping me? I don’t know.
Well, I’m trying to hold my breath, I don’t know.
Just how far down can I go? I don’t know.
As I lie here and stare, the fabric starts to tear,
It’s far beyond repair and I don’t really care.
As far as I have gone, I knew what side I’m on,
But now I’m not so sure, the line begins to blur.
BESIDE YOU IN TIME
I am all alone this time around, sometimes on the side I hear a sound,Places parallel, I know it’s you, feel the little pieces bleeding through.
And on, this goes on and on...
Now that I’ve decided not to stay, I can feel me start to fade away.
Everything is back where it belongs, I will be beside you before long.
And on, this goes on and on...
We will never die, beside you in time.
RIGHT WHERE IT BELONGS
See the animal in his cage that you built. Are you sure what side you’re on?Better not look him too closely in the eye.
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built, everything where it belongs.
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart, and it’s all right where it belongs.
What if everything around you isn’t quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection, is that all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks, would you find yourself afraid to see?
What if all the worlds inside of your head, just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods, all the living and the dead, and you’re really all alone?
You can live in this illusion, you can choose to believe,
You keep looking but you can’t find the woods while you’re hiding in the trees.
And if everything around you isn’t quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection, is that all you want to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks, would you find yourself afraid to see?
