ÒSugarlight, weÕre addictsÓ
Why do you think we came
HeÕs pasting gold leaches
(On my arm)
We sharpen up our teeth
White sugar
He speaks French
Memorizing torsos
HeÕs open throated
In the corner
Hands arrive at hands
My arm is tied off waiting
To burn it down
(Sugarlight, sugarlight)
(I canÕt believe)
Swallowing one bulb after another
In the (city of electric light)
(Sugarlight, sugarlight)
(I canÕt believe)
Swallowing one bulb after another
In the (city of electric light)
(Sugarlight, sugarlight)
(I canÕt believe)
Swallowing one bulb after another
In the (city of electric light)
(Sugarlight, sugarlight)
(I canÕt believe)
Swallowing one bulb after another
In the (city of electric light)Now I know I can handle this,
I close my mouth and clench my fist,
I've lived this day in a thousand ways,
But there's a flaw to add to my list,
Go on squeeze a little more,
‘Cause if you scream I'll just ignore you,
I've rehearsed this scene in a million dreams,
You're gettin’ closer, to my core.
And I'm so damn frustrated,
Losing breath and now I'm shaking,
Gotta keep myself from breaking down,
Someone get me out…
Tear don't you fall, eyes don’t you cry,
Need to get me round this corner,
I can't break down, break down.
Pride don't cave in, head don't let go,
While I'm open and you can read me,
I can't break down, break down,
Break down, break down.
Blocked it out for long enough,
Got really good at playing rough now,
I've been prepared and not really cared,
But being brave is getting tough.
Chin don't start to quiver,
Hands now don't you shiver,
Gotta keep myself from breaking down,
Someone get me out…
Someone let me out…
Tear don't you fall, eyes don’t you cry,
Need to get me round this corner,
I can't break down, break down.
Pride don't cave in, head don't let go,
While I'm open and you can read me,
I can't break down, break down.
You smile like the cat who's got the cream,
I'm vulnerable and I know you see me,
There's so much I wanna say,
But this lump in my throat makes me walk away…
Away…
Away…
Away…
Away…
Tear don’t you fall, eyes don't you cry,
Pride don't cave in, head don't let go.
