You built your world from carvings of stone Admission comes on when you're always alone The time is ticking and you're feeling the pinch In confrontations you won't move an inch Accumulation isn't part of the deal The one frustration that you won't reveal You hide behind your excuses and lies The only piece that you won't jeopardise Spike the guns of habit The truth leads you far away The silence terrifying Denies the light of day You cast your mind to the blackest ideals You wouldn't know how tranquillity feels You find yourself just standing alone You're bound forever but you chew a bone Spike the guns of habit The truth leads you far away The silence terrifying Denies the light of day And still you hold me under And you drive me away And the silence terrifying Denies the light of day
