Lyrics
We sweat the show
We are putting in effort for the performance
You don't like to know
You prefer not to be informed
What's softly sifting, lifting
Something delicate and rising is happening
Hours from the time
Passing hours unnoticed
Head up in lights
Having a prominent presence on stage
Misplace a night
Accidentally losing track of time
There's something drifting empty
An indescribable emptiness is present
Restless on the air
Feeling uneasy and unsettled in the atmosphere
When its toxic
In a harmful or damaging situation
Words are caustic
The words spoken are corrosive
I say I won't
Claiming not to, but still succumbing
But always crawl right back
Returning despite the resolution not to
When its toxic
In a harmful or damaging situation
Words are caustic
The words spoken are corrosive
I say I don't
Claiming not to, but still returning
But always come right back
Coming back despite the denial
Say its alright
Assuring that everything is fine
By the candle light
In the soft light of a candle
I'm softly sinking thinking Poison to myself
Reflecting on self-destructive thoughts
We sweat the show
Putting in effort for the performance again
I'd like to know
Wanting to be informed
What's ever aching breaking Scattered cross your mind
Considering what troubles or burdens your mind
When it's toxic
Being in a harmful or damaging situation
Words are caustic
The words spoken are corrosive
I say I won't
Claiming not to, but still succumbing
But always crawl right back
Returning despite the resolution not to
When it's toxic
Being in a harmful or damaging situation
Words are caustic
The words spoken are corrosive
I say I don't
Claiming not to, but still returning
But always come right back
Coming back despite the denial
When you're toxic
When in a harmful or damaging situation
Fears are caustic
Fears become corrosive
I say I can't
Claiming inability, but still returning
But always come right back
Returning despite claiming inability
