Smiles made of ceramic, eyes covered up in plastic
Hiding behind this mask when/ever you're in a panic
Don't get into that habit of getting automatic
Freezing without notice, no comment or reaction
Can't act like mannequins with all this anguish
Don't internalize your thoughts, it builds like acid
And I can't stand this, I need to know
Before the catalyst comes and you explode
These sweet sounds, they travel and drown
Who didn't listen?
Like pieces in play, we attack and break
Where's all the reason?
There was none, we've become blind
Did we cause all of this?
We've suffered for a fortnight
How did we allow this?
Your sandpaper skin makes you hard to squeeze again
Thorns grow on your head, sound the horns, it's self-defense
You're always in that habit of getting in that fashion
Of closing every seam to your heart until it passes
Can't act like machines with all this anguish
Don't drown out my words, I'm trying to get past it
But you can't stand this, you need to know
Before the catalyst comes and I explode
These sweet sounds, they travel and drown
Who didn't listen?
Like pieces in play, we attack and break
Where's all the reason?
There was none, we've become blind
Did we cause all of this?
We've suffered for a fortnight
How did we allow this?
Nails were bitten, hair was pulled
Skin was ripped, just couldn't believe
Our body's broken, our hearts stitched
Back together from the beating
We stand back up, numb with feeling
Endless tremors, knees are shaking
Times are tough, these seconds stretch
Clock ticks louder, our minds won't rest
Never again can we make this mistake
Never tomorrow, no more of these dark days
These sweet sounds won't travel and drown
We will listen
Like pieces in play but we'll sit and wait
We'll find a reason
This means too much to lose sight
Only to let it all end
Never again, we won't live in regret
Never tomorrow, we won't allow this
