Hear footsteps creak the floor
The shadows give away
Someone outside the door
Wont let them in

Life damaged, gears to grind
A run-down broke machine
That steals your peace of mind
Before you know it's gone

Lay down
Lay

Silence burning, hold your tongue
Keep us separate, sullen, dumb

Hiding in a darkness under
Boiling to the surface, stumble, fall

A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense to the low life lie
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense to the low life lie

These things I hate in you
Also reflect it seems
Distortion laced with spite
Takes you out of me

Lay down
Lay

Hiding in a darkness under
Boiling to the surface something
Crawling on your skin, discomfort
Makes you break and run, stumble, fall

A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense to the low life lie
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense to the low life lie

It's why you never tell me (heaven's on your mind)
It's why you never tell me (heaven's on your mind)
It's why you never tell me (heaven's on your mind)
It's why you never tell me (heaven's on your mind)

A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense to the low life lie
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense to the low life lie

It's why you never tell me (heaven's on your mind)
