Dry lips, nothing can satisfy this bitter taste of denial |
|
Of breathing a life that isn't yours |
|
But where the souvenir tastes fine |
|
Swallow a pride you call your own |
|
And fight the thought that beauty knows |
|
That your shell is hollow and the rest should follow |
|
Just stay away from the noise |
|
Stay away from the noise |
|
Avoiding the light that burns your eyes |
|
Playing this comedy you despise |
|
Untouched, but covered with your lies |
|
Safe in a drawer where the souvenir tastes fine |
|
Swallow your pride, you can call it your own |
|
If you stay away from the fire |
|
Stay away from the fire |
|
Please tell me something that I don't already know |
|
To the sound of the violin, the sliding bow on an open wound |
|
Please tell me something that I don't already know |
|
I'll tell you a story nobody ever wished telling you |
|
Please tell me something that I don't already know |
|
I could wish you peace or love or whatever's pleasing you |
|
If there is something that you should already know |
|
We're caught in the whirl and all we have left is |
|
Noise |
