lyrics

Look Away:

peering through the slits in my hands
your new lover gives me homicidal feelings

peering through the slits in the wall
sanguine fluid painted on the ceiling

i don't want to look away
i don't want to look away
i don't want to look away
i don't want to look away

look away, look away, look away, look away

and you try but you can't scream
like a child's dream

i found a man to dispatch my plan
and the terror in your eyes wakes the devil in my mind
there is a moment when we are neither dead nor alive
then it's off with your head
we are bathing in red

we cannot bridge the gap yet we try
to the point that we want to die

yet we cling to life

yet we cling to life souls asunder
yet we cling to life souls asunder cut with Gaia's knife

yet we cling to life

peering through the slits in your skin
i contemplate my sin
