lyrics

Hear the windows close and the doors lock from the outside; asphyxiated by anxiety. Shut my eyes again. I wish I'd never been through this secondhand suffering. It burns inside of me.

This room's burst into flames and there's no escape. I guess I'll let the fire take me all the way.

Take away the water from the bay; see the emptiness denature and decay. Take away the words from what I say; hear the silence overwhelm what silence may.

The canvas is finite, coloured by time. Illustrate my life; chaotic lines. A pentimento, a layer remade creates an infinite shadow.

And when it's filled the space there'll be no way to rectify the blemishes you've made.

Take away the water from the bay; see the emptiness denature and decay. Take away the words from what I say; hear the silence overwhelm what silence may.

Take away the sunlight, steal it from the day. Watch your spectrum's colours all fade into grey. Take away the masks from our lifelong masquerade. Let the truth reveal we all live to fight pain.
