Staring out to space, what I do best
Barely at the table as I chew, as I swallow, as I spit
I forgot my English as the language that I often abuse
Yesterday a blackout swallowed up the afternoon
Yet I can't lay down
Still can't lay down
Because it's so loud in here
I cannot breathe for you
But I crash and I burn
So I can bleed for you
And I'll stay alive
Just to have you
I'll stay alive
Just to own you
(But that's the only reason why...)
Picture your presence, collecting your goal
Asphyxiating on love and other pastimes
A piece of your traction I never get to taste
These limbs won't lift me off of this floor
It's times like this I like to forget who I am
Actually it's more like I have never had the choice
Yet I can't lay down
Still can't lay down
Barely at the table as I chew, as I swallow, as I spit
I forgot my English as the language that I often abuse
Yesterday a blackout swallowed up the afternoon
Yet I can't lay down
Still can't lay down
Because it's so loud in here
I cannot breathe for you
But I crash and I burn
So I can bleed for you
And I'll stay alive
Just to have you
I'll stay alive
Just to own you
(But that's the only reason why...)
Picture your presence, collecting your goal
Asphyxiating on love and other pastimes
A piece of your traction I never get to taste
These limbs won't lift me off of this floor

Still can't lay down
