Glorious facade Slick tongue persistence Syllable after syllable Enchanting the artless They're fish on hooks Reel them in, cast them out I see the flicker and burn (Flicker, burn) The breath inhaling the fumes (Flicker, burn) This temporary flame dances to a different tune (Flicker, burn) I see the flicker and burn (Flicker, burn) The breath inhaling the fumes (Flicker, burn) This temporary flame dances to a different tune Flicker, burn When you come to point your finger You'll find three are pointing back Can you taste the end?

An ideal existence Discovering a book Perfectly written Minds go: this cycle must continue Legs are chained to the pedals Elastic has to give at some point Expand, contract, decrease contact When the smallest things trigger Grave danger, grave digger This presets a lie Will insides decide To grow up and not give in?

When do you think the search is Over? Confusion kissed me on On the cheek, and Left a taste (so) Bittersweet Unsure where I've been Unsure where I've been The distance, it blisters Locked up with the villain (Time is worthless) When (Time is worthless) Hearts (Time is worthless) When (Time is worthless) Hearts Mindless wanders searching For answers Riddled with guilt for sins Not yet committed (Time is worthless) When hearts are magnets (Time is worthless) When hands are magnets (Time is worthless) When hearts are magnets (Time is worthless) When hands are magnets (Time is worthless) When hearts are magnets (Time is worthless) When hands are magnets (Time is worthless) When hearts are... (Time is worthless) When hands are...

Enter: Fragments, cast offs, one offs Exposed from your everyday life Intelligence arose from Every striking pose And oh, I know They like the fragility of Of handmade, there's a Sense of decay As they control Some burn Some melt Until significance A cruel awakening As irrelevant as honesty Wake up, realise, disappear

Obey the trap Alternatives expect affliction Actions hold no meaning Hold on motive Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on Concentrate on consciences trace circles And words break What's not already broken Tessellating to the pattern with the other puzzled pieces Don't you Delve into something unknown Everybody wants a hand to hold I am holding out my hand We are holding out our hands (Holding out hands) Holding in everything else Encore, encore what for? Everybody wants a hand to hold I am holding out my hand We are holding out out hands (Holding out hands) Holding in everything else Everybody wants a hand to hold I am holding out my hand We are holding out our hands (Holding out hands) Holding in everything else

Timidly approach the wolf Wondering about the necessities and the variables For this procedure There lies mischief in his eyes (No interest in tomorrow or compromise) Sketched out relentless frames of mind Untouched by consideration but floored by the drawback Cement is cracking around what was once secure Make the difference through the distance Fall and never hit the ground The distances make the difference Tormented in a full house I'll try not to make this hard You'll try not to make this heard Elaborate the escape Feathers Spat on the floor

And I'm judged on sleepless nights That never happened The lengths we go to to feel alive Stealing fun from the horses mouth A constant argument that warrants tragedy I am mistakes I am not regrets

You end where I begin You end where I begin You end where I begin Covered in lovers Vainly chasing butterflies I've confused stars, scars, scabs, and everything I've confused stars, scars, scabs, and everything My cloud of smoke, another choke A pretentious in joke Grey veins have crawled across our sky Grey veins have crawled across our sky Grey veins have crawled across our sky So cut me loose and deal me out So cut me loose and deal me out

It started with a stop There is no road back These needles pricking skins How thick is yours? Red ink spilt across my palms Drenched in the toxins, the talent, The tantrums Trying to vanish the vision of the rarest of them all Through faulting and twisting Precious perceptions withdraw Your grasp from me Sliding out of my grip into another's missing piece Bitterness and venom shoot from my jaw I wish it would sink into something more awful Softly blowing on the backs of necks The words are trickling down spines; 'As good as gold but still disposed' Helpless as the victim and the villain A slapped wrist for thoughtless dilemmas Denied of a pardon for this ordeal The sickening blow is punishment enough Ripped flesh pasted onto something uncontrollable Hideous and ugly A taste of loyalty Calm down I'm calmed down Its keeping me grounded Its keeping me grounded I was wide eyed at foreign things Ignoring the choices for fear of the chances Clean your ears so you can hear what I'm listening to Craves of elegance, perception, passion and elloquence My anaesthetic will guide me tonight But its making me weak Leave it alone Leave us alone Let's branch up and rise What are the words I was supposed to have written? As good as gold but still disposed Faithful and Faithless Crawl back to phase one My anaesthetic will guide me tonight But its making me weak Let's branch up and rise What are the words I I'll let myself out gracefully I can not keep but smile I'm fading out
