Gremlin In The Machine

Seems that every wasted year
has passed beyond what keeps you here.
Swollen are the dreams you hide
somewhere deep behind your eyes.
And every word that you might hear
makes you run before you heal.
There's nothing here that you can't touch
with something close for everyone.
I won't leave you lonely.
You'll take everything that I say
and make it go away.
I won't leave you waiting.
You'll fall apart so it seems
before you know what I mean.
Seems that everything you had
is just a lie that you take back.
And just before you close your eyes
they find their way into the night
and walk behind your shadow with
everything that makes you sick.
You'll dream of all the love you lost
while taking all of your clothes off.
I won't leave you lonely.
You'll take everything that I say
and make it go away.
I won't leave you waiting.
You'll fall apart so it seems
before you know what I mean
