Breathing in the dark, lying on its side
The ruins of the day painted with a scar
And the more I straighten out, the less it wants to try
The feelings start to rot, one wink at a time
Oh-oh, forgiving who you are, for what you stand to gain
Just know that if you hide, it doesn't go away
When you get out of bed, don't end up stranded
Horrified with each stone on the stage, my little dark age
Picking through the cards, knowing what's nearby
The carvings on the face say they find it hard
And the engine's failed again, all limits of disguise
The humor's not the same, coming from denial
Oh-oh, I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange
I know that if you hide, it doesn't go away
If you get out of bed and find me standing all alone
Open-eyed, burn the page, my little dark age
I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange
You know that if it hides, it doesn't go away
If I get out of bed, you'll see me standing all alone
Horrified on the stage, my little dark age
Giddy with delight, seeing what's to come
The image of the dead, dead ends in my mind
Policemen swear to God, love seeping from their guns
I know my friends and I would probably turn and run
If you get out of bed, come find us heading for the bridge
Bring a stone, all the rage, my little dark age
I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange
I know that if you hide, it doesn't go away
If you get out of bed and find me standing all alone
Open-eyed, burn the page, my little dark age
All alone, open-eyed, burn the page, my little dark age

silence of soul
paintings of light
struck to the core
clean silk and paperskin
clean silk and paperskin

portrait of eyes
decieving, casting aside

casting aside all unworthy glances
all unerving faces
every single hint of weakness
will be pulverized
vaporised

the main goal is to be clean
to be clean
clean as silk
clean as silk

layers of glass showing the mess
layers of dust causing a fuss
breaking half light
vaporised

bringing bad news, failure and abuse
failure and abuse

throw all away
throw all away

clean skin, pale and thin
clean skin, pale so thin

don't expect it to thrive
don't expect it to cast you aside

cast you aside from all unwanted places
and all unholy praises
every single bit of meaning will be nullified

undignified
my main goal is to be clean
to be clean
to be clean
