mad life

my shadow wears a helmet it won't give up
and every victim leads a life in the sun
when you've decided that you don't need a thing
and then the phone rings

he says
why you relive the pain and the shit
the needle has skipped
bite the skin from your lip
your favourite texture
achieving perfection

your pretty little voice don't give up
an eerie picture of a life in a cup
when you're deciding what you need to bring
and then the phone rings

we say
why you divide the feelings inside
the needle's alive
and your skin is a lie
your favourite texture
achieving perfection
"this one, anytime I say love if you wanna say love, uh, say it, and if you say it you might as well say it loud, and if you don't feel like sayin' it, don't say it, but if you feel it, certainly say it..."
