lyrics

I pull a snake out of my flesh
Feel the scales slide through my skin
The ghost in my head became a friend of mine
because she wont leave anyway

I peel my skin so I can grow
I peel my skin so I can live

You may hold me down for now
But you can´t hold me down for good
Take all that you want from me
I have endless more to give

I peel my skin so I can grow
I peel my skin so I can live

So I can live

I have lost something today, a little piece along the way
When I was standing on that bridge, with my pocket full of holes

When I stared into the valley, with all its flickering lights
When I was waiting for the night to pass

When I stared into the past, where everything is lost
And is nowhere to be found, nowhere to be found

A little piece along the way
Day by day by day by day

-

Let me Rest my eyes on you
For they are weary and they´re weak
Give me a break, a little while
Let me forget everything

I don't want to want you
I don't want to want you
I guess that it's just gravity,
That pulls me to you
And you to me

I guess that it's just gravity

-

The fear of being lost becomes desire now and then
And every street that I have roamed led to the place where I began

With the world already drenched, the severe rain can´t do much harm
I only need a pretty face that shares a smile to keep me warm

I like to talk to strangers, whenever strangers are around
If a voice becomes familiar, I get unsettled by it´s sound

I walk alone, blind to the world and to it´s needs
Deaf to the dove I do not feed
Mute to the widow´ s weeds

-

My head against the wall
I stare into the hole again
I lost another friend
I want to be complete
Someone to please my needs
I want some heavy sleep
I need to flee the deep

Another day will come, it´s gonna drag me away from here
Like a solitary plane, that wanders through the stratosphere, away from here
Another day will come, it´s gonna take me away from here
Like a solitary plane, that flies throughout the stratosphere, away from here

-

I said goodbye to my fears and desires
And my sleep is deep as death

-

Do you wanna break some faces
Do you wanna be destroyed
Do you wanna fade or burn out
Into the stillness of the void

Do you wanna lose your temper
Do you wanna scream and fight
Do you wanna start a fire
In the stillness of the void

Do you wanna fall
Then fall with me
Fall with me
