Fall in love, fall asleep—and dream forever
Fall in love, fall asleep—and dream forever
Fall in love, fall asleep—and dream forever

Fall in love, fall asleep—and dream forever
Fall in love, fall asleep—and dream forever
Fall in love, fall asleep—and dream forever

I wanna fall in love, fall asleep—and dream forever
Fall together and dissolve, and
Forgot how to remember our names

[R] What are you running from?
[L] What am I running from?
[R] What are you running from?
[L] What am I running from?

Why can't you let go of something
Worth trading your marbles for?

I'm now down on all fours
I'm layin' vulnerable with the courage of a coward
I'm wearing your bloody clothes
The least you could do is show your teeth and fake a smile
Abuse my power chord, plug me in, suck me dry
Stick needles in my pores, let all endorphins, flood
Give me permission to enjoy myself-just one more time
How can I finish if I don’t know where to start, uhh?
What good is vision—zombie walking through the dark—Uhh?
Shadow boxing guilt with a pillow and strap
To wrap my little silhouette
Put a tourniquet around my trance
Extract the innocence and serve to those who lack

How can I prove myself with your hands around my neck?
Take my self image for hostage, put a gun up to its head
That’s a threat, that’s protection
You can't steal my high but I can't look down when
I'm laying on my back, no matter how hard I try
But I'm comfortable to a comfort zone
I’m confined, desensitized to a cultural design
Dehumanized, accused, mutilized since youth
Scrutinized, safe and sorry, safe and sound for crying out loud
Suicide is useless—but I don't know what I have until I loose it

But I can hear you muffled purring
Whispering your precious prayer
I wanna pet your wet tears and
Hold them dearly to my chest 'til the rest disappears
I'm undressed behind the mirrors on velvet—rug, polished up
I got no helmet on and if all goes well, we’ll fall before we jump

But what have I become?
I've never felt touch
Maybe I try too hard
No, maybe I don’t try hard enough
Some will want a war
I'm fighting, handle out
Tucked back in a corner
Feeling average, curled up in a ball

No more cold shoulders
I’ve slowly become immune to
I'm now pulling over—running around on a quarter
Tank of recycled fumes and
I'm properly groomed at the beauty pageants
And highly intoxicated before the last mutant
Pursues to illuminate, enthusiasm toward more and more
Attention. I've paid in full wage but I can't spend it all in one place
Besides, I have no more time to waste on sensualistic episodes
'cause I detect the side effects but still go back for refills
Now my mind's a wreck my spine is bent, tear me down
And watch me rebuild
Eye to eye with the eye of the storm
At the speed of light with no windshield
Going astray outside the lines—that keep me in line
(now how's the wind feel?)
I'm upset—been set up, force fed to swallow volatile fumes
Tryin' to puke out a rainbow, hung upside-down
By my toes in this cocoon

Two horns and a halo
Imperfect first-person verse
Imaginary friend
My fantasy's a sin
For me its hurt be a nervous wreck
Perfection never met
For me it hurts to keep a balance
Underneath my heavy skin

It's promising—to see the problems at the end of fingertips
But I still lack the fingerprints to make a perfect match
Put me to the test, I promise not to cheat, pick up my teeth
And I'll make this mess more clean

Don’t you wish it was just so?
Something worth telling my offspring
Don’t you wish I felt control?
For now myself is all I'm offering
I'm naïve—smiling, highly amused
Find me on the brighter side of things
Tryin' to pull the other side of me through

Lips kiss themselves
