curl up into a question mark and answer me

have you stolen my backbone      please

give it back to me

one thousand unseen hands

have crushed my plans

the ghost has avenged



love is war you take each other hostage

one person becomes an occupying army

no daily resurrection

shipwrecked salvation

keep blaming the weather



did you notice      'cause if you'd notice

you'd rescue me



before i lose my final breath

could you please      could you rescue me

just wondering when you get a chance

could you please      could you rescue me

i'm fading      and fading

from moment      to moment

before i choke on common sense

could you please      could you rescue me



leaving a senseless trail of devastation

constantly tangled up in conversation

as lonely as a clock

a cheap facade

the promise of pleasure
