Poison the Well
Album • 1999
Gouge out my eyes Pestilence Lack of love binds Propagate the strife you desire Keep me from forced self-depiction Abhorate, self-assured, I am no more Take this away from Me once more Thirsted for something that Never existed Keep me from forced self-depiction Abhorate, self-assured, I am no more Complacent, I am abomination, replace Complacent, I am abomination, replace The silent sound of the end, I drown in tears Sinking in dreams of what I once owned I avoid the setting of the sun I avoid the setting of the sun Memories fade as you did once before Stole hope from right under my eyes Accomplice of my death Accomplice of my death Accomplice of my death Accomplice of my death Accomplice of my death

Could I end my life with a knife sharpened of problems? Sweet satisfaction of a night sky with horns A paper cut bleeds like a cut vein Could this sky open up and accept this tortured soul? But my wings have yet to work But my wings have yet to work Change means nothing when nothing wants to change Save your strength for the first disappointment Change means nothing when nothing wants to change Save your strength for the first, for the first Forever is such an unpleasant word It begins to eat you from the inside out Beg for sleep As this noose is tied Around, around your neck A paper cut bleeds like a cut vein Could this sky open up and accept this tortured soul? But my wings have yet to work But my wings have yet to work Forever is such an unpleasant word, it begins to eat you From the inside out Beg for sleep as this noose is tied around your neck As it's tied around your neck Could I end my life with a knife sharpened of problems? Sharpened of problems

With all my said unsaids, I could never swallow The idea of a happy ending as another day's memory dies As I'm made to, as I'm made to smile These lifeless days, these lifeless days Have left me with an empty heart, have left me with an empty heart Another wounded memory dies, another wounded memory dies I could never swallow your false ideals of a lifeless happy ending I could never swallow your false ideals of a lifeless happy ending I could never swallow your false ideals of a lifeless happy ending How could words slit my wrists and doors close? How could words slit my wrists and doors close? Present day heartfelt moments killed by a slap to the hand Another wounded memory dies Poisonous screams with messages not thought of when released Present day heartfelt moments killed by a slap to the hand Present day heartfelt moments killed by a slap to the hand Another wounded memory dies, poisonous screams With messages not thought of when released Poisonous screams I could never swallow your false ideals of a lifeless happy ending Another day here, another memory dies Another day here, another memory dies

When you read this, I will not be the same I have let my true form show, and this is my last Lost in all my guilt for letting you fall Understand it, wasn't me Lost in all my guilt for letting you fall Understand it, wasn't me But I can't dream without showing intentions As I ask, as I ask, as I ask, as I ask I ask these questions Where were you? Now I can't see through your eyes I remember the day the sun went out It halted all progression with all its beauty It just sacrificed We fell apart As I ask, as I ask, as I ask, as I ask I ask these questions I remember the day the sun went out It halted all progression with all its beauty It just sacrificed, we fell apart Just sacrificed, and we fell apart Sincerely yours, I've disowned you Sincerely yours, I've disowned you Sincerely yours, I've disowned you Sincerely yours, I've disowned us

Why do your eyes paralyze me? What makes me feel this way? Just carry me away with silence And our heart beats as rapid, and our heart beats as rapid Thinking about your embrace and how it makes me feel I just wanna feel this way forever Sleep on portraits painted as perfect as you Why have I been given the chance to fly away? When I'm not with you I feel lesser, alone Why have I been given the chance to fly away? I remember your face imprinted on angels Your voice as beautiful as the sound of waves Crashing against my heart Time stands still when you look at me I'm infatuated with this Infatuated with you I remember your face imprinted on angels It's so hard for me to understand Why I hadn't found you before Hold my hand

I know very, very well The rain falls, falls in drops I know very, very well The rain falls, falls in drops Winds call me as the rain falls in drops I drop my head, I'm ashamed and tempted to say My heart has caught up to me but still these words hold my hand But still these words hold my hand Please stay a while longer, I don't wanna be alone Please stay a while longer, I don't wanna be alone Please stay a while longer, I don't wanna be alone Please stay a while longer, I don't wanna be alone To see in your eyes is to stare in clear skies Clouds don't trail me anymore

Not within arm's length I'd sever the stars from the sky And place them in your hands If I thought another wish They'd see the light of day But you stand (But you stand) Beyond the sun (Beyond the sun) Beyond the reach (Beyond the reach) Of just a friend Maybe if I grew wings Maybe if you lost yours These words would flow like water if you'd let them scrape your heart But you stand (But you stand) Beyond the sun (Beyond the sun) Beyond the reach (Beyond the reach) Of just a friend Not within arm's length (Arm's length) Embedded within (Embedded within) My concise effort, a silent cry I receive no comfort and as I collapse We remain nothing more than friends As I hold my breath, a throat full of cement I'm disgusted by repetition, I accept this curse of friendship I receive no comfort and as I collapse We remain nothing more than friends As I hold my breath, a throat full of cement I'm disgusted by repetition, I accept this curse of friendship Your friend, friendship

Choke on, choke on your forked tongue As you lie to me again Say it's too early to show how we feel Just shove me away, just shove me away But what can be said to someone who can't hear Or comprehend your actions? I've lost faith in what I've been told, it's all a lie I show true feelings Always feeling the pain Smash me to the ground a thousand times as before But I can't rationalize anymore Carry me away on concrete pillows Incinerate me once more Love means nothing to you anymore Blood stains on the wall With disfigured forms End me End me End me End me End me
