ERASER CUT
1998
I can't think can't speak
are you talking to me
I drift off
with such ease
I'm not listening you see
pinned down without a crown
are you talking to me
I drift off
with such ease
I'm not listening you see
the same words
flesh eating birds
you always like to bring it down
you want to own it
you want to know it
you're only safe when it's pinned down
a bug stuck on a pin
you love to see it struggling
she's not a pet to be tamed
think you can bring her will to heel
your baying hounds
head to the ground
you always like to bring it down
you can't take it can only break it
you'll be the one that's left pinned down
pinned down without a crown
are you talking to me
I drift off with such ease
I'm not listening you see
eat these words
these preying birds
now I'm the one that lets you down
you're pinned down and you've found
it makes no difference to me
Buckle and grind
your bubbling mind
can't shut it down
it keeps running around
no friend of mine
you are no friend of mine
well you know we could've gone far
I'm the one left alarmed
tumbling blind
double turbine
how long consciousness
disembodied wreckage
I'm paralysed
with no friend of mine
well you know you wear
well you know you tear
buckle and grind
your bubbling mind
can't shut it down
a life it has found
WANT CALM WANT FRIEND WANT END
WANNA ARMAGEDDON
FOR
tumbling blind
trouble in mind
can't shut it down
it keeps running around
I wanna know I wasn't there
I wanna hear
IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE
limbs over there
THEY'RE NOT MINE
they're not mine
buckle and grind
with your bubbling mind
trouble
you're in trouble
pale against the sun
my world is
slowly dissolving
ground beneath my feet
it's melting away
black falls into black
I'm just a shadow
of
my former self
losing gravity
don't you know I'm
slipping away
fix your stare load your eyes
now I'm shot down in
flames
fix your stare load your eyes
all in the firmament
flares
a sea of melting clocks
the tick-tock
time dripping away
all that was for real
is just a memory
starting to fade
all that was for real
just a memory
slipping away
it's
slipping
away
thank you for
the last few days
I know we'll meet
again and soon
it's written in the stars
written in my hand
please take care
please take all my love
'til we meet again
I hope it's soon
