End - And Always... lyrics

You've been bedding with the down and below On your toes peering out of 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 that burns deep and down within you Has left you so afraid of love The things you don't say have weighed without wait Impatient and persistent, not fleeting, not for a moment When it seems like 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 to 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's 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 that burns deep and down within you Has left you so afraid of love And the things you don't say have weighed without wait Impatient and persistent, not fleeting, not for a moment When it seems like all you're made to do is suffer You'll be pleased to know that miracles do occur
