Light This City - The Static Masses lyrics
rate meEven 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?</
