lyrics

My only echo of regret
Was what I said to you that night
Sticks and stones and shaking bones draw blood
To such amounts I swear I could have sailed away

So what are we supposed to do with this?
Solitary momentarily the victims of a crying game

Earthquake
Hip shake
Nothing else compares to you
And the beating of my heart slowed down like it was made of glue
Muted breaths keep breathing on my skin
Inner voices do not tell me what to do (not how it should be)

So what are we supposed to do with this?
Insidiously emotionally headed for a heavy end
