Elastic Words

Lyrics

Your elastic words snap back The stinging pierces deep and fills me with your pain No antidote can save me from the fact That thoughts of sympathy I cannot entertain Every move I make just tightens up your grip Your damaged psyche cannot be undone Every move I make just tightens up your grip Why don't you let me slip away from you? This push and pull, it frightens me Bound by promises I know I cannot keep This push and pull confuses me Take advantage while my tired eyes My tired eyes are full of sleep You thought that I could save you from yourself Some sort of shield, some kind of shining knight Hidden thoughts are hazards to your health I will not fan the flames that passion would ignite Every move I make just tightens up your grip Your skewed perspective cannot be undone Every move I make just tightens up your grip Why don't you let me slip away from you?
