Pale Skin Waiting Lyrics

The oldest wound known to man

Is just a memory that never happened

The curse of "there must be more"

Spoils dreams, rapes reality

Your last stance against the laws

Of a world made of fake perfection

The grotesque flickering

Of a dying bird

Sinuous back bending

Weaknesses are exposed

Warm pain drooling

Pale skin waiting

Take what you need

And leave the earth forever

Or stay and learn

How to die a bit more everyday

Or stay and learn

How to die a bit more everyday

I found myself wanting

To grow up in fear

To be a kidnapped child

To beg for mercy

To get rid of the burden

Of picking the right straw

To get rid of the burden

Of picking the right straw

Sinuous back bending

Weaknesses are exposed

Warm pain drooling

Pale skin waiting

Pale skin waiting

Take what you need

And leave the earth forever

Or stay and learn

How to die a bit more everyday

Or stay and learn

How to die a bit more everyday

Nothing rests

Everything moves

Everything vibrates
