Sustain me completely Energize my body Nevermind, I feel fine Pay no mind to craving I feel weak, I’m spinning The demons, are gnawing So eagerly Suddenly I feel free Why can’t it be, perpetually? Consuming my body Decompose inside me So easily I feel weak, I’m spinning You tell me, who’s winning This tug of war Suddenly I feel free Why can’t it be, perpetually?

Member 03:15
I know it’s loud When you’re in my house Now I’m in your head My eyes turning red The kids’ll still be hip When you take your hand off my shoulder They know how you feel They tell you it’s not real I know you’re dying on the inside I know you’re dying on the inside I know you’re proud How I handle such a crowd Now I’m in my head Now I’m in my head It’s not an easy thing to see But I don’t need your sympathy They know how you feel They tell you it’s not real Are you trying to get inside? Are you trying to get inside? You don’t know what to do When they blame it all on you Are you trying to get inside? Are you trying to get inside? They know how you feel They tell you it’s not real Are you dying for some insight? I know you’re dying to get inside

Pantomime 05:52
It's what you wanted at the time Or was it all just pantomime Can't tell what is and isn't mine It's getting better all the time It's getting better all the time(x4) running blind, starved of lime, might be sick, all the time The residue of wasted time Making a fuss of petty crime Until then I'll toe the line I'm getting better all the time I'm getting better all the time (x4) state of mind, waiting line, pantomime, faking fine

What is it to walk away What is it to leave this place behind? Feeling fugue state Feeling fugue state What is it to walk away What is it to play a different game (?) Feeling fugue state Feeling fugue state I’m trying to remember anything you said Through all this shit that’s running round inside of my head I’m feeling like (I’m feeling like) I cannot face a friend I wish my skin would stop crawling away It’s moving rather fast these days, all grey Feeling fugue state Feeling fugue state I’m trying to remember anything I said Through all this shit that’s running round inside of my head I’m feeling like (I’m feeling like) I'm running from myself I’m feeling like (I’m feeling like) I cannot face a friend My face is painted till the end

Saudade 05:39
crowded soul, what inside can be shown creeps in slow, approach woeful plateau just please, please, let your essence flow you’ll need it when you’re grown sunken floe, deep structure held below iceberg in the water, tranquilize your ego speak don’t show, just make your end your own you’ll find it when you’re grown

Tentacle 04:37
Tentacles across the heather Waiting for the springtime weather Dig the earth, to it you’re tethered now Paper tiger military Helicopter mother Mary Pay your salary in gasoline On the sea / let it be You can’t grow / Tentacle Desert lands have clouded vision Human rights are no diversion Petrified position Palestine Nail a hammer through your children Women under supervision Undergo transition, satellite Take it slow / in the snow Let it grow / Tentacle
