Twisted Coil

Slide down into the silence, numb the day away
 Move closer to a memory, feel it slip away
 Life shivers in the distance, whisper it away
 Your sun is smiling on my ashes on this perfect day
 (Shut down the guilt machine and wash your conscience clean of yesterday)
 Drown the ocean, drain the sky
 Wash the color from the Sun
 Still the thunder, derail the Earth
 Burn the stars out one by one
 (We come undone)
 Breathe deeply of your essence, stir the scars beneath
 Sing sweet a song so deathless; you belong to me
 Life shivers in the distance; wish it all away
 Your Sun is smiling on my ashes on this perfect day
 (Shut down the guilt machine and wash your conscience clean of yesterday)
 Drown the ocean, drain the sky
 Wash the color from the Sun
 Still the thunder, derail the Earth
 Burn the stars out one by one
 (We come undone)
 Accusations run astray inside the guilt machine
 Turning tension's twisted coil 'til nothing's left of me
 Words unspoken feed the lie
 Smile and say you're doing fine today
 Conversation makes no sense; all logic stripped away
 Situation's out of hand, in amber disarray
 Words unspoken feed the lie
 Another pill... you're doing fine today
 Did you dream of distant skies
 And thirst to roam and wander?
 Did you die silently inside?
 Did you think you'd find the answer behind the light?
 Did you think you'd find a way
 To disconnect your favourite pain?
 Disengage and justify to wash away the pain
 Medicate and victimize to purge your pure again
 Words unspoken feed the lie
 Drink it down... you're doing fine today
 Something snaps at four-o-five one Friday afternoon
 Turning tension's twisted coil 'til nothing's left of you
 Words unspoken seal the lie
 One small step... you'll soon be fine today
 Did you dream of distant skies and thirst to roam and wander?
 Did you die silently inside?
 Did you think you'd find the answer behind the light?
 Did you think you'd find a way to disconnect your favourite pain?
 Did you dream of distant skies and thirst to roam and wander?
 Did you die silently inside?
 Did you think you'd find the answer behind the light?
 Did you think you'd find a way to disconnect your favourite pain?
 Life shivers in the distance, whisper it away
 Your sun is smiling on my ashes on this perfect day
 (Shut down the guilt machine and wash your conscience clean of yesterday)
 Drown the ocean, drain the sky
 Wash the color from the Sun
 Still the thunder, derail the Earth
 Burn the stars out one by one
 Drown the ocean, drain the sky
 Wash the color from the Sun
 Still the thunder, derail the Earth
 Burn the stars out one by one
