Title
- Tossed into my mind, stirring the calm
- You splash me with beauty and pull me down
- You come from out of nowhere
- My glance turns to a stare
- Obsession rules me-I'm yours from the start
- I know you see me-Our eyes interlock
- You come from out of nowhere
- My glance turns to a stare
- One minute here and one minute there
- Don't know if I'll laugh or cry
- One minute here and one minute there
- And then you wave good-bye...
- Sifting to the bottom, every day for two
- All energy funnels, all becomes you
- You come from out of nowhere
- My glance turns to a stare
- One minute here and one minute there
- Don't know if I'll laugh or cry
- One minute here and one minute there
- And it hurts inside
- One minute here and one minute there
- And then you wave good-bye...
- Can you feel it, see it, hear it today?
- If you can't, then it doesn't matter anyway
- You will never understand it cuz it happens too fast
- And it feels so good, it's like walking on glass
- It's so cool, it's so hip, it's alright
- It's so groovy, it's outta sight
- You can touch it, smell it, taste it so sweet
- But it makes no difference cuz it knocks you off your feet
- You want it all but you can't have it
- It's cryin', bleedin', lying on the floor
- So you lay down on it and you do it some more
- You've got to share it, so you dare it
- Then you bare it and you tear it
- You want it all but you can't have it
- It's in your face but you can't grab it
- It's alive, afraid, a lie, a sin
- It's magic, it's tragic, it's a loss, it's a win
- It's dark, it's moist, it's a bitter pain
- It's sad it happened and it's a shame
- You want it all but you can't have it
- It's in your face but you can't grab it
- What is it?
- It's it
- What is it?...
- Back and forth, I sway with the wind
- Resolution slips away again
- Right through my fingers, back into my heart
- Where it's out of reach and it's in the dark
- Sometimes I think I'm blind
- Or I may be just paralyzed
- Because the plot thickens every day
- And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumblin' away
- But I know, there's a picture beneath
- Indecision clouds my vision
- No one listens...
- Because I'm somewhere in between
- My love and my agony
- You see, I'm somewhere in between
- My life is falling to pieces
- Somebody put me together
- Layin' face down on the ground
- My fingers in my ears to block the sound
- My eyes shut tight to avoid the sight
- Anticipating the end, losing the will to fight
- Droplets of "yes" and "no"
- In an ocean of "maybe"
- From the bottom, it looks like a steep incline
- From the top, another downhill slope of mine
- But I know, the equilibrium's there
- Indecision clouds my vision
- No one listens
- Because I'm somewhere in between
- My love and my agony
- You see, I'm somewhere in between
- My life is falling to pieces
- Somebody put me together
- Surprise! you're dead!
- Ha ha! open your eyes
- See the world as it used to be when you used to be in it
- When you were alive and when you were in love
- And when I took it from you!
- It's not over yet
- You don't remember?
- I won't let you forget
- The hatred I bestowed
- Upon your neck with a fatal blow
- From my teeth and my tongue
- I've drank and swallowed, but it's just begun
- Now you are mine
- I'll keep killing you until the end of time
- Surprise! you're dead!
- Guess what?
- It never ends...
- The pain, the torment and torture, profanity
- Nausea, suffering, perversion, calamity
- You can't get away
- You're everything
- That's why I cling to you
- When I emerge
- My thoughts converge to you
- To you
- The world is so small
- Compared to you
- And everybody's wrong
- Compared to you
- To you
- I begin to see through your eyes
- All the former mysteries are no surprise
- So now, you listen
- Cuz I'm omniscient
- Hey look at me lady
- I'm just a little baby
- You're lucky to have me
- I'm cute and sweet as candy
- As charming as a fable
- I'm innocent and disabled
- So hug me and kiss me
- Then wipe my butt and piss me
- I hope you never leave
- Cuz who would hear me scream?
- Nobody understands
- Except the toys in my hands
- So now you listen
- Cuz I'm omniscient
- Hey look at me lady
- I'm just a little baby
- If I smile, then you smile
- Then I'll get mad for awhile
- I melt in your mouth
- And in your hands whenever I can
- But I really do nothing
- Except kickin' and fussin'
- I like to make a mess
- I laugh at your distress
- I sit all day in my crib
- Absorbing all you give
- I'm helpless
- I'm flawless
- I'm a machine
- Give me, I need my toys...
- Keep me hot
- Keep me strong
- Keep me everlong
- So now you listen
- Cuz I'm omniscient
- I know the feeling
- It is the real thing
- The essence of the truth
- The perfect moment
- That golden moment
- I know you feel it too
- I know the feeling
- It is the real thing
- You can't refuse the embrace...
- It's like the pattern below the skin
- You gotta reach out and pull it all in
- And you feel like you're too close
- So you swallow another dose
- The pinnacle of happiness
- Filling up your soul
- You don't think you can take any more
- You never wanna let go
- To touch the roots of experience
- The most basic ingredients
- To see the unseen glitter of life
- And feel the dirt, grief, anger and strife
- Cherish the certainly of now
- It kills you a bit at a time
- Cradle the inspiration
- It will leave you writhing on the floor...
- This is so unreal, what I feel
- This nourishment, life is bent
- Into a shape I can hold
- A twist of fate, all my own
- Just grit your teeth, make no sound
- Take a step away and look around
- Just clench your fist and close your eyes
- Look deep inside, hypnotize
- The whisper is but a shout
- That's what it is all about
- Yes, the ecstasy, you can pray
- You will never let it slip away
- Like the sacred song that someone sings through you
- Like the flesh so warm that the thorn sticks into
- Like the dream you know one day will come to life
- Try to hold on just a little longer, stronger
- It's the jewel of victory
- The chasm of misery
- And once you have bitten the core
- You will always know the flavor
- The split second of divinity
- You drink up the sky
- All of heaven is in your arms
- You know the reason why
- It's right there, all by itself
- And what you are, there is nothing else
- You're growing a life within a life
- The lips of wonder kiss you inside
- And when it's over the feeling remains
- It all comes down to this
- The smoke clears, I see what it is
- That made me feel this way...
- This is so unreal, what I feel
- Flood, sell your soul, feel the blood
- Pump through your veins, can't explain
- The element that's everything
- Just clench your fist and close your eyes
- Look deep inside, hypnotize
- Yes, the ecstasy, you can pray
- You will never let it slip away
- Like the echoes of your childhood laughter, ever after
- Like the first time love urged you to take it's guidance, in silence
- Like your heartbeat when you realize you're dying, but you're trying
- Like the way you cry for a happy ending, ending...
- I know
- Looking down into the water
- It's hard to make out your face
- If our love is drowning, then why
- Do I feel so out of place?
- Bubbling up to the surface
- Are you getting a breath of fresh air?
- Forever longing to make you mine
- But I can't escape your stare...
- Liquid seeps into your lungs
- But your eyes look so serene
- It's wonderful how the surface ripples
- But you're perfect, and I cannot breathe
- Forever longing to make you mine
- But I can't escape your stare...
- Hold me closer, keep me near
- My underwater love
- Hold me closer, keep me near
- I'll never get enough
- Touch me from below
- I'll never let you go
- But I can't escape
- Awakened by the sun light
- Victimized by last night
- Memories flashin' through my head
- Was I just born or am I dead?
- Yesterday's forgotten, the morning after
- I can taste you, I can hear your laughter
- Fading in the distance
- Recollections drifting
- Bloodstains on my tattered clothes
- Each minute the fear grows
- If I could just lay down to rest
- I'm tired of searching for myself
- If I am dead, how can I feel such love?
- If I am dead, why am I dreaming?
- If I am dead, where do I go from here?
- If I am dead, why does this pain feel so good?
- Is this my blood dried upon my face?
- Or is it the love of someone else?
- It tastes so sweet, just like you used to
- So rescue me my love, splice us together
- I remember loving you so much
- But where are you and where's your fatal touch?
- When I closed my eyes, was it my siesta?
- Did I encounter a darkness stronger than sleep?
- I am thirsty for my sleep
- There are no answers anyway...
- (Instrumental)
- Come here, my love
- I'll tell you a secret
- Come closer, now
- I want you to believe it
- I'll tell you all the things
- You want to hear
- Don't worry, baby
- There's nothing to fear
- Hey, little girl
- Would you like some candy?
- Look into my eyes
- I've seen it all
- Hand in hand
- Together we fall
- We'll sing and dance
- And we'll find romance
- And we'll stroll to the edge of the world
- Come sit right down
- Lay your head on my shoulder
- It's not the point
- That I'm forty years older
- You can trust me
- I'm no criminal
- But I'd kill my mother
- To be with you
- We'll sing and dance
- And we'll find romance
- And we'll stroll to the edge of the world
- Give me a smile
- Let me see those pearlies
- I'll do anything
- For the little girlies...
