Light This City

Light This City - The Static Masses lyrics

rate me

Even when I was younger<br />

I could feel your slimy sculptor?s hands shaping every uneven feature of my body after your fantasies.<br />

Forever crafted to a silent<br />

Excessive perfection.<br />

Fingers digging out all visible flaws, <br />

Yet you still aren?t satisfied with your work.<br />

I?ll never breathe or blink or look you in the eye.<br />

I?ll never show a single sign that I?m alive.<br />

The time will come to break the chisel<br />

That hacked away our trust.<br />

I?ll never speak or think or spit straight in your eye. I?ll never show a single sign I can defy.<br />

You need to understand it?s what you?ve done to all of us.<br />

As you approach, I?ll always freeze right where I?m standing, heart beating faster under the cold, <br />

Hard clay that has become my skin.<br />

It?s buried so deep, <br />

You?d never know it was there. But you?re seeking something.<br />

I can see it when you examine my every feature for something more than what you?ve designed.<br />

I?ll never breathe or blink or look you in the eye.<br />

I?ll never show a single sign that I?m alive.<br />

The time will come to break the chisel that hacked away our trust.<br />

I?ll never speak or think or spit straight in your eye. I?ll never show a single sign I can defy.<br />

You need to understand it?s what you?ve done to all of us.<br />

Weighed down by my own heavy splendor, I?m just a statue to pose at your parties, surrounded by a stiff, leering mass groping for a feel of the new old trend.<br />

But what more can I give you besides my rigid presence?</
