Polythene

It's funny how i watch the day go by
I'm sitting watching tv
Talk shows high
There's banging on the walls
My head aches
I'm drinking out the world
That i hate

I had a big car, new clothes everything
I've had a watch engraved in switzerland
Today i saw her buying a magazine
It's time to get myself some therapy

How do i stop this, how do i stop this
How do i stop this disease?

Chorus:
She's got a new dress on (i'm in cement)
Sits by her radio (i'm in cement)
She's got those x-ray eyes (i'm in cement)
Don't know which way to go

It's funny but i dream for yesterday
I'm blistered by the burns that life has made
I'm staring out behind the window shade
I see her face across the street again

I"m in quicksand sinking in again
I've got concrete shoes and i can't swim

How do i stop this, how do i stop this
How do i stop this disease?

Chorus

I don't know what to do
But i know that i must pull through
I can't keep watching you

How do i stop this, how do i stop this
How do i stop this disease?

Chorus

I wish that i could touch the sky
Elevate me
I hope that i don't burn my eyes
As i drift free
Don't think that i can help myself
Guess it's true

Chorus:
Polythene, polythene girl
Wrap me up in a cellophane world
Polythene, polythene girl
I'm breaking the seal, never thought i would

I wish that i could heal myself
Addicted to you
Wrap me up in cotton wool
Just to feel new
Don't think that i can help myself
But it's true

Chorus

Suffocate, elevate
Suffocate, elevate
But it's true

Chorus

Staring at the ideal world
The bubble begins to break
Gazing at the ceiling cracks
The more the picture fades
It's just that i can't see
When i'm down like this
I just feel the weight
As i try to resist

Chorus:
It doesn't matter when i can dream away
Life in a stereo world
Something happens, i drift away

Floating out of sync again
Reaching for a cloud

Pull back my skin
Look deep within
Transparent grins
The more you kill me
Just see how it is
Just see how it really is

Chorus:
There's radiation in my head
Can't you see i'm going mad
See the colour of my skin
Turning blue as i breathe in
There's radiation in my head

Suffer for life
My soul divide
I'm reaching high
But no one sees me
Just see how it is
Just see how it really is

Chorus

Get it out, get it out, get it out

Trapped in my shell
My fingers melt
All by myself, i'm all by myself
Just see how it is
Just see how it really is

Chorus 2x

You hear me breathe a little more
And see me walk into the storm
The more you give yourself away
The more it burns and breaks away

Sitting back i only wish
Today will turn out fine
And wash away the stain
The poison in my eyes
What do you recommend?
I feel my life descending
I'm falling out of reach
Catch me as i bleed (again)

I"m not insane
Can't reach the pain

Chorus:
If i could be all by myself
I could be me
If you could see, live with my pain
The thoughts that i keep

I hate the way they are
Their patronising thoughts
Tried to get inside my head
Ask the question i have read
But one thing makes it hard
Feel so fragile as i cry
So confused yet so alive
So abused the system lied
You lied to me

I'm not insane
Can't reach the pain

Chorus

Alone ....alone

Hands appeared around my neck
Felt so hard to breathe i stared
As my focus turned to haze
I could see them

I'm not insane
Can't stand the pain

Chorus

Got this dagger in my back
The blade inside me burning
Change these colours in my head
Turn to face the real thing

So what about me, what i want to be
What about me, hear me when i speak
I can't take it, i won't make it
I can't take it, i won't make it

Chorus:
But sometimes i feel it
Do you know how it is?
You wake up in the morning and everything fits
I'm still hoping tomorrow feels like this
My perfect day

Twist inside me feel it break
The rubber band keeps turning
See the tracks worn in my face
Hallucinate, i'm burning

So what about me, what i want to be
What about me, hear me when i speak
I can't take it, i won't make it

Chorus

I can't believe this anymore
I just don't see this anymore
I'm stepping out into the rain again

See my satellite in space
Sending back the weather
Try to find myself some space
Move on up the ladder

I can't take it, i won't make it
So what about me, what i want to be
What about me, hear me when i speak

Chorus 2x
