Lyrics
Testing
You said this would help.
I did everything right this time.
Everything.
So why is it still looking at me?
Why is it still......
[Verse 1]
Finger tips, dip, slip, under the skin//
feel the memories of where you've been//
Lifeless, the iris, dust in the eyelids//
see my reflection, broken vessels like islands//
Red hue, like sinew, lips push back//
brush back, the hair, skin white like snow pack//
Cold slab, hold that, for the Kodak//
Frozen in time, like throwbacks//
File the pic away in the scrap book//
With so many faces the snap took//
Running the steel along the spine receptor//
The mind's conjecture, I suppose, I'm a fine collector//
(Remember what they told us...... Discipline.. Sharper... More precise....)
Palm press, chest crest, carving the lesson//
Soft flesh, breath left, caught in confession//
Rib split, quick twist, echo the crack//
Black drip, slow drip, trail in the track//
Bone saw, low draw, hum in the room//
Skin peel, reveal, perfume of the gloom//
Neat lines, clean lines, order the scene//
Bleach bite, white light, blur what was seen//
Bag tied, drag side, weight in the tarp//
Dark ride, park wide, ditch in the dark//
Mud soak, blood cloak, sink in the ground//
Earth pack, dirt stack, swallow the sound//
[Break]
Don’t, don’t look at me like that.
You’re not supposed to look at me.
You’re heavier now.
Why are you heavier now?
Just, just get in the car............
[Verse 2]
Voice creeping, finger nails sinking//
Into the steering wheel//
Grin real, bends feel too real//
Stomach drop, plummet stop, I'm in here//
(Remember what they told us...... Discipline.. Sharper...)
No trace, cold case, locked in the vault//
Salt ring, halt things, ritual fault//
Wash hands, slow pans, mirror don’t lie//
Eye twitch, slight glitch, something inside//
Still warm, form torn, memory sticks//
Lip curl, slight whirl, hunger persists//
Tick tick, clock click, crawl in the brain//
Same itch, same twitch, call it again//
Night creep, no sleep, pace in the den//
Deep breath, teeth set, start it again//
File stack, mind track, catalog pain//
Each face, each trace, etched in the frame//
Soft hum, numb thumb, trace every scar//
Map lines, past times, know who you are//
Cold calm, no psalm, prayer never came//
God gone, light drawn, only the game//
Knife gleam, slight sheen, whisper it back//
Just once, one more, echo the crack//
Door lock, floor creak, step to the night//
Street gloss, rain loss, blur every light//
Hood low, slow go, drift through the crowd//
Eyes scan, slight plan, silence too loud//
Pulse quick, teeth grit, scent in the air//
Prey move, I groove, follow the stare//
Same song, all wrong, loop never ends//
Fade out, black out… begin it again//
[Outro]
I didn’t mean to
I didn’t......
no no no no no
STOP LOOKING AT ME!!!!!
You were supposed to stay quiet!!!!
