lyrics

Warning dark things coming
Stitch my eyelids
Never seems to warrant a change in anything
The dark road seems to tempt me
Stitch my red lips
I wander into terror
With a vision of how to live
The night provokes beautiful minds
The night

The night
Rests on me
The right
But I can barely feel

What you're left with are the crumbs of nature
Tumbling down upon my distorted picture
Dreams and truth encompassed
Dangerous to me
I wander into terror
With a vision of how to live
The night provokes beautiful minds
The night

Memory...

False start
They shout
False start and then you're out

False start
Freak out
False start and then you're out

Tangled up in doubt
No force can beat it out
Tangled up in doubt

Warring factors
Conflicting views
It's hostile

Can't seem to choose
The right thing to do
Too enraptured
Squandered
So I start again
