Shihad
Album • 1995
I hope I never see you again I hope I never touch you again Sometimes I wonder, what's fucked in my heart Won't let your fingers tear us apart It's all so simple, it's all over again A lack of talent is caving you in Sometimes I wonder what's fucked in your heart We're losing grip now, now we're falling apart The speaker speaks but the words sound haunted So much it's falling out of your hands Could you ever tell? And it's there for me, there to see And it's in full view Why did I waste my time on you?

So nice of you to say Plans laid out for the highway; Delivering us to the truth But that road ain't heading my way And every suggestion That finds it's way through the lines Is it mine? Is it anybody elses I leave it behind Looks like we're falling over again Looks like we're falling over I feel it pull me under Looks like we're falling over The Call goes out and everybody moves Here we go... I of sound mind Fetch me a fix of anaesthetic Up front, Behind It keeps me hanging on Wait - here's the action To take time, to break time Hate - it's the function And it keeps me pushing through

Falling - was it right? Could you tell me - is it right To envy Your final escape Well I spent all year packing on the make-up Spent all year waiting for your call And when it didn't come I was nailed, I was nailed And when it didn't come It left me standing Feet nailed to the floor How were we So out of sight How could you think you were below envy Was it right?

Wrapped up. Spat out in your self doubt Should I rip my heart out Pack it up and send it to you Things said in anger Said for gain Said to cut down I'll never hear again Well a part of me sees it all too clear But another part still burns For the safety, for the comfort But our hate outgrew our love and ate it I can see it started years ago And I recognise your pain But I can't forget the innocence That you've taken from me Now I see you But I can't hear you No - I can't hate you No - And I don't want to break you down There's just some things that I want to tell you Now that you're not hear to drown me out I've just got to break through I collect the poison as it spills from your mouth Savour the taste so that I may work you out When affection becomes affliction Let it go Been watching for far too long Far too long to get this wrong I've got the scars to prove it Snap straight back and I'm here to use it Delay the memory of the facts and what's outside Left with your mind, the only place to hide 'cause your so bitter inside

What are you still doing here? Your stability offers no comfort to me. It don't fill me up Process what's going through my head What I've done and what I've said. It won't help me out Ever thought that by expanding your own mind Instead of putting me through your own design You might start learning Why so many of us feel we don't belong, So unreal in what you built here, 'cause what you built here 'cause what you built here... Don't fill me up Don't help me out I can't feel my feet on the ground Feel the edge of a new sensation Life with you it's so complicated Won't you let me find my own way 'cause what we've got happening here Ain't nothing bad, ain't nothing you should fear It's a celebration 'cause I learn from what you learn But I burn for what you burn And I think it's time we let the past lie 'cause the future is what I earn't Pass this world on before the sun goes down There's untapped beauty to be found This time is my time And that fills me up And now I found I can feel my feet on the ground So lift your head up to the golden future Strong weaken as time deserts the past And in truth we give so that our souls can live Come on, get off the beaten path

Who owns the face inside the window? Who holds the key to your soul I don't care for the state I'm in From deep down inside I feel it begin Who holds the key to your soul? I met a lamp and a man with a silvercup Lamb has a grievance, wants to take it up with him Lamb lies face down, Trampled in the pavement There's still no reason to criticize It's all here in black and white Lay down the law so he can victimize the pack You won't drag me down All aboard the future, as he held in his hands Pennies for the chosen but what about the lamb? If you got something human that's still stiring inside I hope it squeezes your heart so fuckin'' tight That it gives you time to uncloud your eyes If it don't you still wont drag me down

See that sky through the window, that sky for me But I got to learn to breathe water before I get that high And all that is pure, through all that is meaningless Strike the balance Strip back to the core And it's too late now, I'm much too far gone To get a hold of my security and the cloud that I flew from And I'm ready to start now, this is what I waited for And the vision it brings such a beautiful thing That I'm brought to my knees as I finally learn to breathe See that face in the mirror Past bone and skin and into the heart of me I celebrate this bleeding If that's what scares you If that's what's pulling you down Then its time you stop deceiving 'cause it's too late now I just can't go on Holding out on myself what and what I could become And I'm ready to start now I will 'cause I can I gotta get up I gotta get up Get off my knees...Get up...I will stand
