What is it?
Who is it?
Where is it?
A rabbit falls away from me, I guess I'll crawl
A rabbit always smashes me, again I'll crawl
Tried to think what's over me, it makes me crawl
Then she runs away from me, faster than I crawl
I stopped to call, tried to feel it all
Stuck my hand and pulled real hard
Got stretch in miles, not in yards
Then I read, about all those who believe all of your lies
Sunlight brings the rage right in your eyes
A rabbit falls away from me, I guess I'll crawl
A rabbit always smashes me, again I'll crawl
Tried to think what's over me, it makes me crawl
Then she runs away from me, faster than I crawl
A rabbit falls away from me, I guess I'll crawl
A rabbit always smashes me, again I'll crawl
Tried to think what's over me, it makes me crawl
Then she runs away from me, faster than I crawl

Come on babe
Come on set me free
I've paid for my crime
Come on babe
Come on rescue me
Just this last time
I plead the case
I need to space
Don't let it wait
I plead the case
I need to space
Don't let it wait
Come on babe
Come on set me free
I've paid for my crime
Come on babe
Come on rescue me
Just this last time

I'm waiting, please come back
I've got the guts now
To meet your eye
Those guts are killing
but I can't stop now
Got to connect with you girl
before I forget how
Please won't you hang around?
Can drop you under
What it is we found
I'm waiting, please come back
I've got the guts now
To meet your eye
Those guts are killing
but I can't stop now
Got to connect with you girl
before I forget how
Please won't you hang around?
Can drop you under
What it is we found
. . .

No where to collapse the lung
Breathes a doubt in everyone
No where to collapse the lung
Breathes a doubt in everyone
No where to collapse the lung
Breathes a doubt in everyone
No where to collapse the lung
Breathes a doubt in everyone

The lights exploded
She stood burning in front of me
She ripped my heart out and gave it to me
My eyes wouldn't open, cemented to her face
Have I begun a feeble chase?
I'll be down, I'll be around
I'll be hanging where eventually you'll have to be
I'll just stare and hope you'll care
It's only everything standing in front of me
I know what you did to me
I know what you did was wrong
You're allowed to torture me
Wait a moment until I'm gone
I know you're the ticket, you gotta be
'Cause I let you be alone for long
Got to be so completely
Got to be so I can't hang on
I'll be down, I'll be around
I'll be hanging where eventually you'll have to be
I'll just stare and hope you'll care
It's only everything standing in front of me
I'll be down, I'll be around
I'll be hanging where eventually you'll have to be
They're not there, you're standing there
Now you'll have to decide the fate of my sanity
. . .

Hey what's bubbling down under there?
Why's it screaming?, what's unfair?
Please excuse it for getting hard
Let the (shellfish?) swell inside
But how should I now watch it squirm?
It's asking me what's that I learn
Stay inside, pull me out of space
Trip me sprinkling grey
Stay and take my fate
Thought I knew you, stuck out my hand
The bit which I could understand
It's a twisted feeling, staring bored
It's time to burn, I hope I score
Wait for me there, the gas might run
Strike this little, be outdone
Stay inside, pull me out of space
Trip me sprinkling grey
Stay and take my fate
Take my fate
Take my fate
Take my fate
And take my fate
. . .

I'll be grazing by your window
Please come pat me on the head
I just want to find out what you're nice to me for
When I look up, don't think I don't know
about all the scabs you dread
It's hard to stomach the gore
I know you don't have the patience
To peel them off no more
In a jar where you believe
All I could do was lick your hand
In a jar the scars are plain to see
I hope somehow you'll know I understand
I'll be grazing by your window
Please come pat me on the head
I just want to find out what you're nice to me for
Then you smile and decide to take me in
'Cause I look you by your bed
But I can feel it just a little more
I'll watch you fall apart, babe you know it
You know I'm young and stuff, babe don't blow it
Just unscrew the top, yeah
Pick me up now just can't stop
In a jar where you believe
All I could do was lick your hand
In a jar where scars are plain to see
I hope somehow you'll know I understand
Scabs collect beneath your bureau
From the knife wounds you got
. . .

Can't believe a single word I've said
And every subject's the only one that's dead
And there's nothing from my side
Just yourself
You'll split
I'll began
'Bout to fight
Greatest stories pass, in my mind
Must be a better way to pass my time
To think the focus just belongs to me
Selfish man, I know I'm nothing to me
So when I thought I had more to say
Swimmin' in my head
Chained to this corpse
For one more day
Little lies start around
Not a show, feel so down
And I struggle right inside out
Reach the wall, spiral down
Retchedness
I'm hardly standing still
I'll be there
Sometimes thinking right
I can't believe I was chosen to exist
'Cause only Jesus Christ can slit his wrists, he says
So though we kill this need to always understand
Cut the world and tell me it fits on the back of your hand
. . .

Not an innocent
I bleed my place
That settle turning smirk
That's always fixed upon my face
Walking weakness
Hope I die without a sound
I'm that little boy
With my feet nailed to the ground
I know I'm guilty
My stomach always hurts
Milking your attention
For the little it is worth
I'm turning browner every day
I'm really turning down a stay
Tired of your little van
I've been around too long
Tired of walking
Talking with me
Edging me along
Well, I detest your patience I
know you've always known
You know that I'm a thief
It's so great to be alone
Alone (That's that)
[Static, Static]
I don't care It's lie, I wound
I'm a stupid baby
Hope it breaks in two
[noise]
Jesus Jesus Jesus
Jesus Jesus Jesus
Jesus is Christ
Jesus Jesus is Christ
[noise]
I don't see I don't feel
Like every little moron
I think nothing's real
I don't care It's lie, I wound Darling, skip the faith
That only breaks in two
[noise]
Through a dozen layers
And there's no evil here
Only this great power
We misunderstand
So please relax
Take a pain
Laugh out loud
When you forget your name
Jesus laughs
Take the pain
Laugh out loud
When you forget your name
It doesn't live
There's no evil here
These great powers
We misunderstand
Tell you about everything
Tell you about everything
(Go) (Go) (Now)
. . .

I wonder how you're feeling
There's ringing in my ear
And no one to relate to except the sea
Who can I believe in?
I'm kneeling on the floor
There has to be a force. Who do I phone?
The stars are out and shining. But all I really want to know
Oh won't you show me the way
I want you show me the way
Well, I can see no reason
You're living on your nerves
When someone drops a cup and I submerge
I'm swimming in a circle I feel I'm going down
There has to be a fool to play my part
Someone thought of healing but all I really want to know
Oh won't you show me the way
I want you show me the way
I want you show me the way
I want you day after day
I wonder if I'm dreaming
I feel so unashamed
I can't believe this is happening to me.
I watch you when you're sleeping
And I wanna slap your face
Oh won't you show me the way
I want you show me the way
I want you show me the way
I want you day after day
. . .

'Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream,' she said
'The one that makes me laugh,' she said
And threw her arms around my head
'Show me how you do it
And I promise you, I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you...'
Spinning on that dizzy air
I kissed her face and kissed her hair
And dreamed of all the different ways
I had to make her glow
'Why are you so far away?' she said
'Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you,
That I'm in love with you?'
Soft and only
Lost and lonely
Strange as angels
Sitting in the deepest oceans
Sitting in the water, you're just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
I found myself alone
Alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
. . .
