===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
