Paul Simm

Nothing bitchy will ever leave my lips
and this tingle in my fingertips
Isn't really
a heart attack
Man on the curb
breathing heavily
and the fear now
That is eating me
Isn't really
from a heart attack

and this paralysis
needs no analysis
As I fall apart
at the seams

feels like centuries
you have played with me
and in times like this
It escapes me
Why you attack my lead balloon
with your hard attack

and this paralysis
needs no analysis
As I fall apart
at the seams
From your knockout punch
that floored me with a crunch
To end my unbeaten run
on the scene

wipe me off the floor
cut the ground from under me
You wore me like a frock
from a stupid fantasy
we pushed out of bounds
kicked it from the ground
All the love we found
was too tightly wound

I'm in the ocean
I can't feel the ground
and approaching me
without a sound
Is a thing with attitude
like a shark attack

and this paralysis
needs no analysis
As I fall apart
at the seams
From your knockout punch
that floored me with a crunch
To end my unbeaten run
on the scene

Recipes are just combinations
And what are these just mere salutations
When they plead for our salvation
Are these just the lies that feed our nations

As enemies we never learn
A shaking hand is never firm
But as the path clears we turn away from it all

All these jealousies we have earned
Oh so shamelessly they still return
All the outlandish lessons we have burned
Yes and we're imprisoned by the whole thing

Who gets something really good to eat
Why do we want the world to fall at our feet
Like a child throws its food to the floor
Like an apple that is rotten to the core

As all the memories they kick in
The gravy, it is thickening
The combination is sickening
But we still press on

And as all the memories they kick
While the gravy it is thickening
And the combination is sickening
But we still press on

How to know what's in your head
How to know if you're just playing dead
But it's all gonna be that way when you say you're alone and imprisoned by your yesterdays

Oh you know what you really want
But yet you've turned yourself into what you don't really wanna be
Here we are and we know don't have to be that way
yes u know it
