lyrics

Do you acknowledge that I am still standing here?
Good luck to you in heaven even though I may never see you there.
At the ground zero where the anger is protein for my machine, where do I go?

Flexing the neck protected that tender spot, the one no one contacts....
You saw stars and soft pedaled that animosity while you burst into the atmosphere.
It's so terribly sweet but not for me.

I'm not withstanding my convictions, I hold my throat.
It's do or die, there are risk involved in everything that we try.
(Say a prayer) but fuck it all....
I'll draw a heavy black line through the words you and I.

Flexing the neck protected that tender spot, the one no one contacts....
You saw stars and soft pedaled that animosity while you burst into the atmosphere.
It's so terribly sweet but not for me.

I was pushed into the womb and you don't know but star pricked through.
Showing a deep well of blue, I thought so high of you, and now where are you?
I was pushed into the womb and you don't know but star pricked through.
Showing a deep well of blue, I thought so high of you, and now where are you?

I watch you change but now your far away.
It's not my fault, I couldn't stay, you're everything I wanted to stick my teeth into.
So just let me.
I'm not the same, I'm always changing, growing but you stayed the same....
