How long you been too numb to love?

How wrong you need for me to love

Cut off you feel cold and alone

Put on you leave feeling hollow

I hear your pulse, pounding.. I know

We walk a razor, poised to overflow

When it burns it pains, down to the bone

Now we only talk of why you'd go

CHORUS (spoken):

You'd surely die without me

But with out me..

You thought in time...

You'd simply die with out me

You said in time that...

You'd surely die..

You're sure you'd die with out me

But with out me..

Maybe you'd thrive

I'm sure you'd…

Didn't want to take a lover

Didn't want to foul it up

Pit me against another

You know I'll never give it up

Will our love outlast,

All that we demur?

Will our hearts break free?

Or will you just become something painful to me?

Defeat? I  won't be undone when I have the fever

Mainline, adrenaline when I have the fever

Alarm.. unknown, you know…when I have the fever

Chorus:

How Far..

To go?

Time out..

I'm only flesh and bone

I Know..

That you know

Time out..

I'm only flesh and bone

Didn't want to hurt each other

Didn't want to…

You say.. it's just a model of thinking

If we exist in a daydream

Then there can be no mistaking

What are you saying?

Did you not even wait for me?

I'm touched you're crying out for help

I'd lost some symmetry myself

All this fragility's been leaning on my health

I might just fold into my self

You say... that your reality's hazy

and so you weep like a baby

You think I'm not even listening

What are you craving?

-

I'm all in pieces

Heard you lost all reason

I wanted to be there

Don't you say it's a lie

Drop me off the deep end

I'm too weak to defend

All our inner demons

Teasing...teasing...

CHOR:                                                                                      

This love is caustic, you should go..

I nearly lost it, does it show?

We get so toxic, when we blend

This love is caustic to the end

Habits habits habits habits.... habits seed the wild inside

Habits habits habits habits bad... habits pass the time   …

Don't know how to deal

When everyone is changing

Eyes that don't conceal

The reasons for your wrath

Tell me how you feel

Am I a true pariah?

Tortured hearts don't heal

And troubled minds are daft

Don't wait, I'm numb

If there's a lesson here I still don't follow

My my, I may may be dumb

But no one said that you would change tomorrow

Lock step

Mind's eye

You fake

I rise

Psyche

Pumped high

Your loss

My life

Don't reach for the pearl that draws your eye

You may be laden with the…

Are we only getting deeper?

When the moon reflects your eyes and our actions lead to silence

Could this pain be any sweeter?

In the absence of your shine, I'm as dull as any non believer

Out of turn, I’ve learned so much about you. I was blind 

There’s a term, for distorted perception.. it slips my mind

CHORUS:

Hands down, you were all in nearly half the time

You retreated... with the night

Hold on, if we could... hold out to the morning hours

But the truth hurts in daylight

Are you only…

Loss... I feel it every second

Lead on.. we've only a second

Fear for love?

I bleed for love

Breathe for love?

I grieve for love

So play on..

I see you every day

Put on

Teasing all the unseen ghosts in my head

Do you want to try me love?

Just set it up

I'll see you in the unkempt sheets of my bed

Fear... I feel it every second

I long..

You use it as a weapon 

Bleed for love..

Naive in love...

Cry on..

The feeling comes in waves

Undone..

Cradling all the secrets that go unsaid

…

Think of who you are..

The planchette is the heart that speaks through you

Right on que..

Time and time again, you fail to find a friend to see you through

That's on you..

Chorus:

You're making contact

You're making contact

Is that a contract?

You're making contact

A thinly covered veil, divides us from the paleness of our youth

Time is cruel.

How precious to know, that death is just a prelude to the truth

Step on through..

Chorus: 

You're making contact 

You're making contact 

You…

You never have to say it

It's pretty clear you're faking

Set me free why don't you babe?

Am I alone in thinking..

Right now we're just existing?

Set me free why don't you babe?

CHORUS:

I know it hurts.. to say it plain

I know your heart's.. expired

Was it something I said.. that turned the key?

I want to dance.. in fire

Is there some way to tame me?

Could I be lulled to safety?

Set me free why don't you babe

It isn't worth debating

All that we shared is waning

Set me free why…

Lay low.. they'll never understand

When you get right.. you're like a different man

Lay low.. until the poison fades

Here in the dark, no one can see the pain

Lay low.. under a cloud of dread

You think they know?  That's only in your head

Stay low, if only for a time

When you get numb, you've gotta change your mind

Chorus:

Acidic 

Unkind

Haughty

Blind

Stuck up

Benign

Faulty

Mind

Lay low.. don't even make a sound

When you get high.. no one can hold you down

Say no.. when your hope…
