The Figurehead [Paris]

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sharp and open, leave me alone, I'm sleeping less every night As the days become heavier and weighted waiting in the cold light A noise, a scream inside with spiders inside them And dust on the lips of a vision of hell I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year [Verse 2] A hundred other words blind me with your purity Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance I think about tomorrow Please let me sleep as I slip down the window Freshly squashed fly, you mean nothing, you mean nothing [Verse 3] I can lose myself in Chinese art and American girls All the time lose me in the dark, please do it right Run into the night, I will lose myself tomorrow Crimson pain, my heart explodes, memories in a fire Someone will listen, at least for a short while [Bridge] I can never say no I can never say no to anyone but you To anyone but you [Verse 4] Too many secrets, too many lies, writhing with hatred Too many secrets, please make it good tonight With the same image haunts me, in sequence despair of time I will never be clean again, I touched her eyes Touched her stained face I will never be clean again [Refrain] Touched her eyes, touched my stained face I will never be clean again Touched your eyes, touched my stained face I will never be clean again I will never be clean again I will never be clean again I will never be clean again I will never be clean again I will never be clean again
