And Always... Lyrics

You've been bedding with the down and below

On your toes peering out the hole

The Void offers sweet release

And always the thought of defeat, it has lessened you

Mortar and bricks have cut off your air

And always the fire burns deep and down within you

Has left you so afraid of love

The things you don't say have weighed without weight

Impatient and persistant, not fleeting, not for a moment

When it seems that all you're made to do is suffer

You'll be pleased to know that miracles do occur

You never chose this

This place you don't fit

You're just misplaced

A pet with no trick

A wreck

Broken in need of a fix

And always the feeling of failure has trailed you

Nothing you've tried keeps the vultures at bay

So restless and weary, you desperately struggle

But it's all to no avail

The mirror of mirth lies shattered in pieces

So long the image, now you'll never see it.

And the leaden ball that's been chained to your ankle

Has kept you running in circles

You never chose this

This place you don't fit

You're just misplaced

A pet with no trick

A wreck

Broken in need of a fix

How numb have you become?

Now that you've lost all connection

Your bottle is filled up to the brim

Who will be left to clean the spill?

And when your breaking point pierces the surface tension

You're sure to overflow all at once

And see how brittle becomes you

And there is no escaping this

All of the memories haunt your flesh

There is no trace of the events

Only the ones you recollect

Relax and arrest the arrhythmia within your chest

The bells toll not for your atonement

And you can't make them stop

And always the thought of defeat, it has lessened you

Mortar and bricks have cut off your air

And always the fire burns deep and down within you

Has left you so afraid of love

The things you don't say have weighed without weight

Impatient and persistant, not fleeting, not for a moment

When it seems that all you're made to do is suffer

You'll be pleased to know that miracles do occur
