===All My Life lyrics=== | |||
A thousand poisons in the window<br> | |||
A pointed face, he looks right at you<br> | |||
Abstract noise instigated<br> | |||
Separated, assassinated<br> | |||
Eyes are drifting in the night<br> | |||
Strung along behind a kind of ghost is twisting in your mind<br> | |||
The worm settles to a new position<br> | |||
Tangled inside its derision and its hatred or distant vision | |||
All my life for someone to talk to | |||
As you dance there's no one else<br> | |||
I get so cold watching your romance<br> | |||
Your idle trance<br> | |||
Your reflection in the window<br> | |||
It's on you now, that fascination<br> | |||
It's on you now, that desperation<br> | |||
Reach across and try to touch your position<br> | |||
In your eyes such a beautiful blackness<br> | |||
Let's all jump in a crevice<br> | |||
Let's fall in love<br> | |||
And settle on your sadness | |||
All my life for someone to talk to | |||
Now the innocence in my eyes is filled with all I despise<br> | |||
Even joy is a compromise and the deception<br> | |||
So let it go, it's really easy<br> | |||
Now everything you see looks ugly<br> | |||
I loved it once, yeah it was so pretty<br> | |||
I'll never say ____ is useless in your vacant stare<br> | |||
In the window hopeless as a prayer | |||
All my life for someone to talk to<br> | |||
All my life | |||
