Lyrics
This is how
It begins
Push it away but it all comes back again
All the flesh
All the sin
There was a time when it used to mean just about everything
Just like now
Breathe, echoing the sound
Time starts slowing down
Sink until I drown
(Please) I don't ever want to make it stop
And it keeps repeating
Will you please complete me?
Never be enough
To fill me up
Watch the white
Turn to red
It fills up the hole but it grows somewhere else instead
All my life
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, but it just left me dead
(Well guess what?)
The world is over and I realize it was all in my head
Now everything is clear
I erase the fear
I can disappear
(Please) I don't ever want to make it stop
You can never leave me
Will you please complete me?
Never be enough
To fill me up
The sixth line of the second verse only appears in the album booklet for The Fragile.
