So Much More Than Meets the Eye - Seether lyrics
from the album "Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces"
LIKE SUICIDE
Premeditation will kill the trust, they'll never know if you fear me.
With every second collecting dust, I feel so bloated and weary, cause she belongs to heaven.
She's coming over like a suicide, and it's the same old trip before.
Another complicating suicide, and it's the same old trip as before.
Burn!
She'll cut you down with a single thrust, she's taken over too quickly.
No medication can cure the lust, so say a prayer for the sickly, cause she belongs to heaven.
She's coming over like a suicide, and it's the same old trip as before.
Another complicating suicide, and it's the same old trip as before.
You set me up to fucking fail this time.
She's coming over like a suicide, and it's the same old trip as before.
Another overbearing suicide, and it's the same old trip as before.
She's coming over wearing genocide, and it's the same old trip as before.
Another complicating suicide, and it's the same old trip as before.
FAKE IT
Who's to know if your soul will fade at all, the one you sold to fool the world, you lost your self esteem along the way.
Good God, you're coming up with reasons, good God, you're dragging it out,
Good God, it's the changing of the seasons, I feel so raped, so follow me down
And just fake it if you're out of direction, fake it if you don't belong,
Fake it if you feel like infection, whoa, you're such a fucking hypocrite.
And you should know that the lies won't hide your flaws, no sense in hiding all of yours, you gave up on your dreams along the way.
Good God, you're coming up with reasons, good God, you're dragging it out,
Good God, it's the changing of the seasons, I feel so raped, so follow me down
And just fake it if you're out of direction, fake it if you don't belong,
Fake it if you feel like infection, whoa, you're such a fucking hypocrite.
I can fake with the best of anyone, I can fake with the best of them all.
I can fake with the best of anyone, I can fake it all.
BREAKDOWN
The sun is gone and the flowers rot, words are spaces between us,
And I should have been down in the rivers I found of token lost,
And I should have been down when you made me insecure,
So break me down if it makes you feel right and hate me now if it keeps you alright,
You can't break me down if it takes all your might cause I'm so much more than meets the eye.
And I'm the one you can never trust cause wounds are ways to reveal us,
And yeah, I could have tried and devoted my life to both of us, but what a waste of my time when the world we had was yours,
So break me down if it makes you feel right and hate me now if it keeps you alright,
You can't break me down if it takes all your might cause I'm so much more than all your lies.
Hate me, break me down.
FMLYHM
You could have been the real one, you could have been the one enough for me,
You could have been the free one, the broken down and sick one, a remnant of a vacant life.
You come around when you find me faithless, you come around when you find me faceless.
Fuck me like you hate me (dig it up and tear it down), dig it up and hold me out.
Fuck me like you hate me, I love the sound when you come undone.
You could have been the next one (God only knows), you could have been the one to comprehend me,
You could have been the only one, the broken down and sick one, you could have been the one who I lie with.
You come around when you finally face this, you come around when you find me faceless.
Fuck me like you hate me (dig it up and tear it down), dig it up and hold me out.
Fuck me like you hate me, don't make a sound til I come undone.
You'll never break me.
You could have been the real one, you could've been the last one I'd lie with,
You could have been the old one, I should have been the one who died.
FALLEN
She's wearing dresses on the borderline, look again,
Awaking senses that were lost in time, make amends.
This liberation is the one they'll love for ages, hey man I've seen it coming.
Just cut those tresses, make you look so fine, you're a ten,
Put on that shirt and you'll look so divine, drown in men,
This generation won't forgive those signs of aging, hey man I've seen it coming.
I've got my ticket for the next makeover, I got my ticket for a stolen ride.
I believe in the fallen, I believe in the calling.
They got injections for the facial lines, make amends,
Break out the scalpel, keep the nose defined, look again.
A crucifixion of the love we've known for ages, hey man I've seen it coming.
You're much too pretty, you don't need your mind, just pretend,
Just bat them eyelids, get your heart's desires, drown in men,
A resurrection of the shallow and the vapid, hey man I've seen it coming.
I got my ticket for the next makeover, I lost my taste for this, I'll keep my pride.
I believe in the fallen, I believe in the calling.
Reject!
RISE ABOVE THIS
Take the light and darken everything around me, call the clowns and listen closely, I'm lost without you.
Call your name every day when I feel so helpless, I've fallen down but I'll rise above this.
Hate the mind, regrets are better left unspoken; for all we know, this void will grow,
And everything's in vain, distressing you though it leaves me open, feels so right, but I'll end this all before it gets me.
Call your name every day when I seem so helpless, I've fallen down but I'll rise above this doubt.
I'll mend myself before it gets me.
Forty-eight ways to say that I'm feeling helpless, I'm falling down but I'll rise above this doubt.
NO JESUS CHRIST
Before you hedge those bets you placed against me, be reticent of fortunes they foretell.
Your verbal defecation I can't wash away despite myself; your vanity, it seems, has served you well.
You're so quick to choose the path walked by the righteous so you can go and nest among the weak,
The innocent observers will refuse to find the lie within, renew the disappointment of the meek.
You're no Jesus Christ.
Put the gun in my mouth and pull the trigger, I feel so alive here.
Put the gun in my mouth, it tastes so bitter, I feel so alive here.
You're no Jesus Christ.
You keep taking over, I keep rolling over, I can't take it anymore.
SIX GUN QUOTA
I found it hard to live with all my choices, it's time to turn a deaf ear to the voices.
Did you ever think to ask my opinion, did you ever think to ask if I'm okay?
I've burned down every bridge that I've found, now I limit myself to a six gun quota.
I played down every feeling I've felt and I bottled them up til the well ran over.
Give every indication that you're mended, take every rule you come across and bend it.
Did you ever think to ask my opinion, did you ever think to ask if I'm okay?
I've burned down every bridge that I've found, now I limit myself to a six gun quota.
I played down every feeling I've felt and I bottled them up til the well ran over.
It feels so good to be numb, I hate what I have become.
WALK AWAY FROM THE SUN
Walk away from the sun, come slowly undone, I can see in your eyes I've already won.
I could bleed for a smile, I could cry for some fun, walk away from the sun and tell everyone.
There's so much left in the air, so much to tell from the stares, there's so much left to defend, but I am no fun.
So turn away from the ones who hurt everyone, I can tell by your smile you're coming undone,
I could bleed for a smile, could die for a gun, walk away from the sun and kill everyone.
So tiny dancer beware, we're medicated and scared, this smile is so hard to wear, but I have no gun.
So turn away from the ones who hurt everyone, I can tell by your smile you're coming undone,
I could bleed for a smile, could die for a gun, walk away from the sun and kill everyone.
And you're fading with every day, you could have been the next one, should have been enough for me.
EYES OF THE DEVIL
It irks me when I get burned and I realise I don't get hurt and always it seems I've lost my way.
When I feel you it's not enough, and I need you, you shun my touch, I notice the season's ripe for change.
I'm weak.
So with every new lesson learned, I could keep you before it turns in the knowledge that things won't be the same.
Now I realise that you have won and there's nothing to be said or done, and I notice the wind won't blow my way.
So run with the eyes of a devil and keep them in your dreams.
If you succumb to the lies of the rebel, you'll cleanse yourself of me.
It kills me to watch this fade and I realise it's all charade, and every mistake I make's the same.
I beseech you to let me drown, will it please you to let me down, now no one can save me from the pain.
So run with the eyes of a devil and keep them in your dreams.
If you succumb to the lies of the rebel, you'll cleanse yourself of me.
Jesus, save me from me.
DON'T BELIEVE
Your heart is carved in stone and apathy flows in your veins.
When flesh falls from the bone, you've taken all you can take.
Don't believe in anyone cause they'll feel you so much more, deep inside the venom is burning lover.
When stink fades into smell, the liquor has washed you away.
When face cracks into smile, you've taken all you can take.
Don't believe in anyone cause they'll feel you so much more, deep inside the venom is burning lover.
You can take, I'll give in, you can't break what's broken, your mistake, I'll rest my body in the ground.
Don't believe in anyone, curse the day that you were born, can't deny the enemy's taken over.
WASTE
Go unnoticed, let the freedom wash away; losing focus, the pretence is second nature.
It's a broken life that I cling to, trying to make right.
I feel dismay just like you do, I feel decayed.
So find me a way to leave this wasted life behind me after all.
Yes, I see you, surrounded by the hopeless, when they need you you're much too good and bloated
By the hopeless life that you cling to, trying to make right.
I feel disdain just like you do, I feel decayed,
So find me a way to leave this wasted life behind me after all.
Go away and just leave me here.
CARELESS WHISPER
I feel so unsure as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor.
As the music dies, something in your eyes calls to mind a silver screen and all its sad goodbyes.
I'm never gonna dance again, these guilty feet have got no rhythm.
Though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool.
I should have known better than to cheat a friend, a wasted chance that I've been given,
So I'm never gonna dance again the way I danced with you.
Time can never mend the careless whispers of a good friend.
To the heart and mind ignorance is kind, there's no comfort in the truth, pain is all you'll find.
I'm never gonna dance again, these guilty feet have got no rhythm.
Though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool.
I should have known better than to cheat a friend, a wasted chance that I've been given,
So I'm never gonna dance again the way I danced with you.
Tonight the music seems so loud, I wish that we could lose this crowd.
Maybe it's better this way, we've hurt each other with the things we want to say.
We could have been so good together, we could have lived this dance forever,
Now who's gonna dance with me, please stay.
