And the lights are low
And you're standing too close
Leanin' on my side
Have you done this before?


Strange place to be
Too aware of my hands
I can't hear you speak
Staring through the sound


And the lights are low
And you're standing too close
Leanin' on my side
Have you done this before?

I can put my nervous hands through everything in front of me
In the muted light of this familiar room
Static side-view of your face, you're sittin' slightly out of reach
Focus on the wall, you won't hear me now


I try to pull my gaze up from your lighter to your door
I can feel the brick push against my back
I can't shift this, you can't move, stuck in place no place to be
And I watch I burn, I watch it burn

It's been ten years
You'd think by now I'd be so unaffected
But you make me sad, the way you change your smile
Lower your eyes when you think of me


It's been ten years
You'd think by now I'd be so unaffected
You make me sad, the way you change your smile
Lower your eyes when you think of me

I choose to shift again
I fold this morning'
Shut down, suppressed, a liar
Pointin' inside, beside the point
Failure, am I gonna make? Failure, am I gonna make it?


No sound from outside now
I listen to my body
Sealed off, compressed, alive
Surface too far, too far below
Mother, I know you can hear me, Mother, I know you can feel me!

Today's the first I've been around in quite some time
I choose my path down streets that oddly feel like me
I remember you, you never wanted me to stay for long
You'd make me beg
It's such a shame I wasted all those days
Lyin' for you, pretendin' to belong
Did I ever fit in, in this place?
Did you ever think I wouldn't feel the same?


I sit a while, and watch the city windin' down
Above my head the street light flickers and clicks off
You're beside me now, I've never wanted you like this before
Gotta go!
Cause it's just too fucked the way we disconnect
Losin' control, I'm screamin', you're not there
Will I ever fit in, in this place?
Are you ever aware of when I feel this way?

I leave you lyin' on the bed I unmade
With the sun comin' up on the small of your back
Can't stay a second longer, I swear
Don't say a word, don't spoil my scene
I got you burned, perfectly slated in the back of my head, and I


Outside this mornin' doesn't feel like it should
Everything block is too long and my skin smells like you
The sweat on my neck has cooled off too fast
Are you awake, thinkin' I'm wrong?
You've got me side-tracked all the way down Avenue A, and I


I leave you lyin' on the bed I unmade
With the sun comin' up on the small of you back
Can't stay a second longer I swear, and I

Numb, watch me curl
Cold in the bare room
Try, try again, reach through me, don't touch
Fingers tight, I curve 'em 'round my fist to hide the bruise
Daylight fades
I'm static, too strung out to move
Crash my blank stare, I


Leave, stay with me
Fight, move me, your turn
Speak, don't say much, spin to me, don't lie
Hold my head, I feel your fingers melting through my skull
Two, three, five
I'm static, too strung out to move
Crash my blank stare, I

I'll be your perfect sicko, if you wanna play
I'll lead you, lead you, almost all the way
Oh I see it now, you look so good
Just keep me comin' back for more


I am your perfect sicko, now you've gotta stay
Your hips, I'm hypnotized, oh insane
Oh I see it now, you look so good
Just keep me comin' back for more


I'll be your perfect sicko, if you wanna play
I'll lead you, lead you, almost all the way
Oh I see it now, you look so good
Just keep me comin' back for more
