Lyrics

[Chapter ii]

Here it goes again, the masking of dirty truths
The penning of words, creating worlds that are lost on you
You never care to meet characters laid upon your feet
Never to penetrate the membrane you have wrapped around you
But I saw more I think a thought of you
The words i've said, no longer spent
One slipped tongue and there you went through
With me right after you

So I see you've built yourself a fortress too
But when compared to these walls
Yours seems bare like an old cocoon that will crumble soon
Now I breathe the stale air of my little tomb
And drink the water drank before
And eat the mildew off the walls for food

Ride
Tumble free and feel undone
Every word strikes a hammerfall
Why, once again, fire as you may, will this wall not divide?
And I try and catch my mind as it goes on peeling off its rind;
So I grow but I pass as pointless rhymes just for show
And now I think it's time that you disrobe
The package is waiting

I didn't know it would be so long
And I grow so tired of singing songs to those who know
But still carry on like they don't
Now I think it's time that you know that now I think it's time
Each successive line ricochets wall turned, denied, back at mine

[Chapter iii]

But it echoes all around me

And it only goes just to show you
How many ways you don't know you
And it only goes just to show me
And so as not to disappoint you
All here's a silly song for you to sing along
I'd never want to disappoint you

But all around me it echoes and echoes
When they surround me, these words are my own
And all around me it echoes and echoes
When they surround me, these words are my home
And they may drown me, but that's okay- here you go
Now how's that sounding?
It's just a silly song to sing along to
It's just a silly song to sing about you
It's just a silly song
