Staring out to space, what I do best Barely at the table as I chew, as I swallow, as I spit I forgot my English as the language that I often abuse Yesterday a blackout swallowed up the afternoon Yet I can't lay down Still can't lay down Because it's so loud in here I cannot breathe for you But I crash and I burn So I can bleed for you And I'll stay alive Just to have you I'll stay alive Just to own you (But that's the only reason why...) Picture your presence, collecting your goal Asphyxiating on love and other pastimes A piece of your traction I never get to taste These limbs won't lift me off of this floor It's times like this I like to forget who I am Actually it's more like I have never had the choice Yet I can't lay down Still can't lay down
