It's an inward facing circle Backs turned, like talking to a brick wall I've learned everything that you stand for offends me You're thicker than the layers on your face You're unrecognisable until they've smothered the lights The hand of God couldn't slap you into place so lose the tears, lose the whining Lose the stepladder that goes back in time Looks like Janus has a bad mouth out of which sickly laughter pours like syrup until we drown until we breath no more A V-neck screams in disgust But I just turn my face away from you and not towards A hard shell cracks inside, But you're just jelly waiting to gush from the wounds that she's caused You glide like a misinformed deity A goddess, at least in your mind's eye I'd much rather stick with the lone survivors You're thicker than the layers on your face You're unrecognisable until they've smothered the lights The hand of God couldn't slap you into place so lose the tears, lose the whining Lose the stepladder that goes back in time You're thicker than the layers on your face You're unrecognisable until they've smothered the lights The hand of God couldn't slap you into place so lose the tears, lose the whining Lose the stepladder that goes back in time Lose the whining Lose the stepladder that goes back in time Lose the whining Lose the stepladder that goes back in time Lose the whining Lose the stepladder that goes back in time Lose the whining Lose the stepladder that goes back in time

Oh, please come here again Because I'll just indicate and then keep straight Can't you be more direct Because we make each other wait And the ramblings of a lone drunk They make my thoughts seem much more certain now They blaze in fire until I am sunk But I'll still crash into your ground I'll still crash into your ground without your help I want this badly now Oh, please turn and face me Should I say it again, or leave it alone I only trust myself To fuck it up again, again And the ramblings of a lone drunk They make my thoughts seem much more certain now They blaze in fire until I am sunk But I'll still crash into your ground And the ramblings of a lone drunk They make my thoughts seem much more certain now They blaze in fire until I am sunk But I'll still crash into your ground

Matador 03:04
I'll wait for them, but they are years ahead I'll wait; I'm not true to the cause and I never will be I'll change my face, but they won't change their minds Feels like a new body has grown out of the nape of my neck Maybe in a hundred year they will pick up the mantel And read the lost verses of a failed Matador

I know it's dark, but your sunny Aura blazes; I can barely be heard You give me a run for my money, you are bright in every sense of the word I don't know what I'm supposed to do Others than sit here and stare at you In the long run I'm fatally floored And the meantimes not much better I know it's dark, but your sunny Aura blazes; I can barely be heard You give me a run for my money, you are bright in every sense of the word I don't know what I'm supposed to do Others than sit here and stare at you In the long run I'm fatally floored And the meantimes not much better I know it's dark, but your sunny Aura blazes; I can barely be heard You give me a run for my money, you are bright in every sense of the word I don't know what I'm supposed to do Others than sit here and stare at you In the long run I'm fatally floored And the meantimes not much better
