| Lyrics
|
Nobody's coming down the hall
Nobody echoes in my head
Broken reflection outta luck
Nobody ever needed it
I got what was
I want to take what's left
Ready now
Beautiful senses are gone
Canary in a gilded cage
Singin
Sweet, soft, and low
I will poison you all
Come closer, racing to your tongue
I got what was
I want to take what's left
No talk will cure
What's lost, or save what's left
For the deaf
The blind can go get fucked
Lie beside the ditch
This halo round my neck
Has torn out every stictch
Who are you hiding
Is it safe for the deaf
Beautiful cancer
Infiltrate and forget
I saw you coming
I heard not a thing
A mistake not to listen
When I knew where you'd been
And I got what was
I want to take what's left
No talk will cure
What's lost, or save what's left
For the deaf
--------------------------
Old live lyrics
Livin underground
Ear against track
Cannot trace the sound
Nerve up to my neck
Kill
Killin time
Rock
Right on the vine
Pray
Prayin head
Love
Works in name
Not love
Not for gray someone's love
Ready now
Oh, my best words cheat
Can't have the words from your mouth
Can't have the words that hold us together
Cause they're fallin all around
Jump down in
Jump down in
Try to chatter it
Nerves to the strip
Not love
If not for gray someone's left
If not love
If not for gray someone's left
Love again
Like to take a walk
Lie beside the ditch
This halo round my neck
Strum out every stitch
Kill
Killin time
Right
Right on vine
Pray
Prayin head
Love
Put some back
Not love
If not for gray someone's love
If not love
If not for gray someone's love
Killin again
