talk to me

can you listen to me now

do you understand

can you identify? but it's as if you seem to make a small effort

but you bend, you're bending my mind, and you try to suffocate, and

smother me

covered so i can't breathe

we collapse our weakened hands fall together at once abandoned

they'll fore you down and strap you in, now we agree and understand



speak slowly

you gotta get it all out now

what are you saying?

just remember we will always be here...just in case you have been

waiting, waiting to show us something or give us some sign.

as if you're gonna suffocate, smothering

covered so you can't breathe



chorus



gently lure your submission

all the while suspicion grows

so be sick of listening

to senile old and staggering naive youth

pick us up when we fall down
