lyrics

Shipwreck. Red tide.
Goodbyes are now never-ending bedtimes.
Sleeping on needles and pins, every day in year. Every year in my life spent cleaning a mess.
What's that dead body waving for?
Made the gore a comfy mattress back in '84, now the fear of pushing thirty doesn't matter anymore...
Shipwreck. Red tide.
Tape and staples over our lips, expression doesn't exist where grey and nothingness is.
We save it under the skin, sit blank and cover a grin -
closed eyes and wait for the Incubus.
Victims of the suspect simply because the suspect was a victim not admitting it.
Intimate sicknesses - wither with eachother.
Sealing the edge of our fate.
Papercuts from licking the tip, signing, delivering.
Little things are bigger than you'd ever think,
stealing your identity.

What do you do,
when the monster underneath your bed won't leave? (x2)

Sit there.
Blank stare.
Barely above the water, breathing, choking.
Surrounded by a thousand kids broken.
Flooded from the same storm, face warm, out of it.
Hoping for a rope-end to pull in every soul...
Live with intimidation sipping on its gin.
Feet up on the table, a cigarette in the tray bent out of shape.
Too many halves. No wholes.
Not enough hands to hold those together.
We fill them up but then we're empty yet again.
Best friends until the end.
Meet and greet with the gun in his pocket.
You're standing there in hostage.
Begging for a wish? You're wishful thinking.
We know that when you blink, you'll be handed to the darkness.
Pinned up to the ceiling - dangling.
And if only it was paper-thin...

What do you do,
When the monster underneath your bed won't leave? (x2)

In that midnight hour.
You're under me. I'm over you.
You're under me, I'm over you.
I'm over you. You're scaring me, you're scaring me.
Just leave me be...
