Lyrics

Yeah, am I swimming again on my own?
Treading water between pleasure and pain
Yeah, there's a cancer that's killing us all
I know the answer but I can't tell a soul

So I'll just lay here in my strait jacket bed for my soul
I find my comfort in all the lies that I tell
It's quite refreshing to believe that I'm lighting a hall
All this emptiness and the blades are on the floor

I hope you will refrain
Cut the straps and call your hallway by its name
But won't you come on

Life, I'm filling it up to brim again
I'm living my life for change
And I will get by
Shine, I'm giving a light for loneliness
I'm salting a world of plain
And I will get by

Yeah, Am I living again for myself?
Am I moving pieces of a check mating world?
Oh I've got solutions, but I'd rather just rot in my cell
Of stabbing silence in this cultural realm

Oh you're never gonna change
And no more excuses when you look back on your ashes
And then you say...I never knew.
