It wouldn't work, it's getting stronger Can't be controlled any longer There's only guilt There is no feeling of beauty left What was so free is getting locked up Emotion-motion is dead stopped There's just remorse There is no hunger, no craving left But I see what you mean I wish I was sixteen I'm not there, only choking It shuts down when I'm talking On the air, the musky odors of yesterday Only numb, growing colder Don't need heat to make this solder Feels like I'm rusting from this apathic decay But I know how it feels to be underneath those heels Now I've got nothing more to say And I got burned on the way You drugged me, fed me Took me with you to wherever you'd go You swallowed me whole
