You play so casual when the light lays on the carpet
A pause for second thoughts, an exit once it's opened
Enlighten me again
Reminds me of when
Any emotion is guaranteed to leave
You gave me a push before I leaped
You watched me sink
Control a steady pulse, my head's becoming lighter
It's black until you breathe and then the feeling after
Enlightens me again
Reminds me of when
Any emotion is guaranteed to leave
You gave me a push before I leaped
You watched me sink

Nothing Again

Everyday's the same, it's getting out of hand or at least my hands
And out of control
Show me what to do and tell me so I know
How I will go through this
Marking all my moves with caution on my tongue
Keeps motions clean and my conscious calm
Show me what to do and tell me so I know
How I will go
Concurring dreams encumber me
And I'm so sick of being caught out inbetween
What it really is and what I made myself believe
But I know I am so deserving
Smother your words which cover my eyes if it helps me sleep tonight

The Center of the Earth

From the broken wings, from the dirt that I grew out of
To my hiding place where you can't find me
Unseen from all the faces
Unseen when they are nothing
To the center of the earth where we are dancing
But once we leave
I just burn and burn while you are sleeping
I just burn and burn while you are sleeping
You gave me such steady ground
But you always knew I'd get carried away in the sullen air
Adaptive growth keeps forcing me
To kill my guilt, to let this go
To kill my ghosts or should I let them
Evaporate and disperse again
I'll drink to that if it will seal me in
But corrosive hands uncovered me
They pulled me out when I stopped to breathe
They summoned you and you tricked me
So tell me how my friends are brimming with happiness
It's ringing in my head, it's ringing in my head
And the voices all converge but I don't care for their concern
They keep telling me, they keep telling me
That the devil's not my friend, but he speaks so genuine
He's leading me to this, he's leading me to this
But if the devil's not my friend then why does he call for me again
He's leading me to this, he's leading me
To the center of the earth

Listen up, I'm trying to keep my mouth shut
To refrain from speaking out of turn
But when did you learn that going out will heal you now
You know better and I know better
Hey there pretty mouth, what the hell are you talking about
When you know nothing
So keep on putting up this front you've been talking down
Until you feel better
'Cause it's all about the things I'm lacking now
But if we could sort this out then we'd see who's been casting doubts
Admit you were wrong to put my name out in your palms
And maintain pressure
To keep my breathing up and to cauterize these cuts
That you keep cleaning
'Cause it's all about the things I'm lacking now
But if we could sort this out then we'd see who's been casting doubts
When you're spilling from your mouth
And I'm trying hard to stay so calm
And harder still to keep my voice down
My animal under control, you got away
My enemies befriended me once again
