How can you say what is true

You get it all

TOO MUCH

TOO FAST

TOO SOON

It hardly amounts to vision

STUCK inside of a room

I loose sight

The sound

Is so overwhelming

100 million screaming

And nobody listening

The world

Is indifferent

Everybody wants to make or enslave you in their vision

The world

Isn’t different

From the days everybody got erased

In the old world

I ain’t gonna stone you to (the) death

Squeeze my hand or blink if you can hear me

I know you’re there under your new skin

I ain’t gonna stone you to (the) death

I won’t disconnect it (you)

Squeeze my hand or blink if you can hear me

I’ll be waiting here until you to climb ouT

For you to come back to me…


[Tardast Verse]

Your mouth doesn’t move

To the sound that it spews

In the shape of a switchblade

There’s something cutting you deeper

And your attention is glued

To the reel of offenses

Repeating inside you

Either real or imagined

The reel of a fence

Is repeating inside you

…you can’t extract ‘em yourself

In a world

Cold World

So indifferent

Cold World

Everybody wants to make or enslave you inside of their vision

Of their own world

It’s a cold world

I ain’t gonna stone you to (the) death

I know you’re there under your new skin

Long as you’re inside there

I won’t disconnect it

I’ll be waiting right here until you to climb ouT

For you to come back to me…

I ain’t gonna stone you to (the) death

Yeah, i know you’re there under your new skin

I KNOW YOU’RE IN THERE

I won’t disconnect it

I’ll be waiting right here until you to climb ouT

For you to come back to me…
