Dead Air

Don't be taking him off your hell (?)
Don't be taking him off your hell (?)
Let go of the black ball (?)
You saw him leave the hell (?)
You are what you adore
You are what you adore

A china doll, you wanted it all
You're a china doll, you don't feel nothing at all

Don't be taking him off your hell (?)
Or it's something you'll later have
Upon your head, but you can't get over him
Because you know what's in there
Because you know what's in there

A china doll who won't feel nothing at all
You're a china doll and you don't feel nothing at all
And i feel this way

You say he's not in your arms
Somethings passed on
But up to me, i'll just call the guard (?)
Every one of your need
Every one of your other needs

China doll, i don't feel nothing at all
China doll, i don't feel nothing at all
I feel this way all the time
And i feel this way

i've been suffocating all night
Too much of nothing made me get uptight
And i get fists on my shy nerves?
And say it's this that you deserve?
Do you wanna live in a soft shell
Or knuckle under the hard sell?
When your arms start creeping thru
When you're ashamed of what you're trying to do

Dead air
Don't let it be spoken
A record's broken,
Skipping to the words that hang in this
Dead air
And you never say nothing
Dead air between you and me

I've been suffocating all night
Too much of nothing made me get uptight
You're in a rut with your dumb ones
It takes no guts to be don juan
To go around brooding and tight
When you got no reason for brooding
You've become completely sick
You don't give a s***
You just wanna forget

Dead air
Don't let it be spoken
A record's broken,
Skipping to the words that hang in this
Dead air
And you never say nothing
Dead air between you and me

I've been brooding all night
I got no reason for brooding
I don't know what i'm doing
I keep trying to speak out loud

Dead air
Dead air between you and me

I'm a lowlife, lowlife
And i've been here, caught standing still
I've gotta play into my head, my head
Full of crap im a landfill

Didn't understand
I'm not talking now
Didn't understand
For i know you well
A pretty penny gets you trouble, gets you trouble
But i had enough of that
I kept on waiting on lies, on lies
I kept waiting for a little tap
Didn't understand
Or a little "hey"
Didn't understand
Why can't you settle for that?
Thats where thats where that's where you're at
I'm waiting on lies
You're standing still
I've got a play, play it my head
I'm a landfill
Didn't understand
I'm not talking now
Didn't understand
I know you well

Didn't understand
I'm not talking now
Didn't understand
I know you well
Well i've become yours like a lowlife
I went in under your door like a lowlife, lowlife

It was a deep sleep
I woke up weak
And i felt like, like a stray
Now i believe we're on to nothing
I was shaken and angry and used to nothing
Coming to nothing, are you coming to stay
Or for a minute (?) are you
Coming to take my place
So take this disgrace

Stray

It was a deep sleep
I woke up weak
With a question and your promise not to separate
And i would feel so empty
Space between me
That's what's with me
That's what's with me
Are you coming to stay
Or for a minute (?) are you
Coming to take my play
When i wake up in the lone star state

Stray

Are you coming to stay
Or for a minute (?) are you
Coming to take my place
When i wake up in the lone star state

Stray

I keep feeling my eyes close shut
You know i love you sincerely but
Now i just wanna be still
And not move and not think
Be still, be still, move and make me feel ill

I was afraid, my eyes shut
Don't open my body up
I don't wanna be in my body

Oh imagine this overhead light
I'll believe anything you tell me is right
If you just let me be still
And not move and not think
Still, still, think and make me feel ill

I was afraid, my eyes shut
Don't open my body up
I don't wanna be in my body

It makes me sick to shut up
So open my body up
Oh come on, oh come on
And open my body up
I'm imagining an overhead light
I believe anything that you tell me is right
I don't wanna be in my body

It's the biggest trick
It makes me sick to shut up
So open my body up
Come on, come on
Open my body up

I'm in love
With an icon; i don't expect him to call
I'm crushed and ground in some disaster
And I feel like a criminal
Turn on the light, you'll come across me
Getting bruised and we're not even touching, touching
Are you sincere or are you dangling bait
And if it bites will you judge me?

I don't know what's genuine
I go back and forth with him
Does a screw make a bad lynch pin?
I don't know what's genuine

I think about this is the ground or is it ground at all?
I thought i couldn't be touched until they tapped me out
And i didn't even feel it at all
The bigger the head, it's so full of shit
The neighborhood is one crowded bed
Their loss of strength; they say the earth is flat
And that the bend is in my head
Yo, fuck that!

I don't know what's genuine
So i go back and forth with him
Does a screw make a bad lynch pin?
I don't know what's genuine

Oh i'm losing control
Who's in control?
I'm losing control
Who's in control?
Oh, who's in control?
I'm losing control!
I'm losing control!

Can't be touched
Some think that they can't be touched
Sent from above
They think they can't be touched
Can't be touched, can't be touched

I don't know what's genuine
So i go back and forth with him
Does a screw make a bad lynch pin?
I don't know what's genuine

His skin is thick, it's rubbermaid, it's rubbermaid
My skin is thin, it's paper thin, onion skin
His blood and sweat like a hotel bed
He's telling me he's surprised
Now i got myself something to hide
And i'm locked in
Lost in the sands hotel

I've got a life, i'm in the line but i don't remain
I dragged my bag across the stage, opened it in his face
His blood and sweat like a hotel bed
He's telling me he's surprised
Now i got myself something to hid
And i'm locked in
Lost in the sands hotel
(life is grand in the sand)
Lost in the sands hotel
(life is grand in the sand)
Lost, locked in

Show me someone that i'm not afraid of
Show me someone that i can see

Cos i'm locked in
Lost in the sands hotel
(life is grand in the sand)
Lost, locked in
