Finger Eleven

Good God have I been dreaming
This paralyzing feeling?
Was I left alone? Where have you gone?
Were you somewhere else just sleeping?
If I wait to wake you
I'll never ask you
Would you take my hand?
In the deepest end
Would you stay and drown in me?
Take my hand. In the deepest end
My open eyes see everything
But I'm passing all the days
through a window pane
And as the scene would change
I'd stay the same
This paradise was nothing new
But the paradise gets tired of you
A single conversation
Stole my attention
Would you take my hand?
In the deepest end
Would you stay and drown in me?
Take my hand. In the deepest end.
Would you stay and drown in me?
My open eyes see everything
And you see nothing
And don't forget it
Take my hand. In the deepest end.
Would you stay and drown in me?
Take my hand. In the deepest end.
Would you stay and drown in me?
Take my hand. In the deepest end.
Would you stay and drown in me?
Would you stay and drown in me?
Would you stay and drown in me?
And don't forget it

The obvious heart has come to collect
Cause it tore apart like a tortured insect
The obvious heart waits here to heal
And balances out a subtle reveal

Cause there's a remedy close
In a familiar dose
This bitter pill to swallow
Is lost in the bottle tonight
You're empty it's alright

And full of yourself
No need to explain
To anyone else
Broken in time
Taken what's left
No need to deny
The cause or effect

This heart is not a broken one
But where have all the colors gone
It's still among the lucky ones

This heart is not a broken one
But where have all the colors gone
You're still among the lucky ones
And burning longer than the sun

Cause there's a remedy close
In a familiar dose
Now you can find out who knows
Soaking in truth that she says
And taking chances

The wonder of the world is gone I know for sure.
All the wonder that I want I`ve found in her.
As the hole becomes apart I strike to burn
And the flame returns.
Every intuituion fails to find its way
One more table turned around and back again.
Finding a moral lost and found
When she`s not around
When she`s not around
I feel it coming down.
Give me what I could never ask for.
Connect me and you could be my chemical now.
Give me the drug you know I`m after.
Connect me and you could be my chemical.
When everybody wants you
(my chemical your slow).
When everybody wants you
(my chemical your slowslow and).
When everybody wnats you
(slow slow and).
Everybody wants you slow
Give me what I could never ask for.
Connect me and you could be my chemical now.
Give me the drug you know I`m after.
Connect me and you could be the chemical.
You could be the chemical.
You could be the chemical.
You could be the chemical.
You could be the chemical.

I had never thought
We were hanging on
But the fall looks very far
Staring at the ground
What flesh will do to you
Will do to me too
Be free and on your own
It's not that simple
It's not that simple
It's never that simple
It feels like the first time
That we've fallen behind
And we faltered too far down
No one could save us
It feels like the first time
And we're standing above them
And no one can touch us
The worst is over
The worst is over
I could say to you
A bitter word or two
There's no stopping now
Just get it out in the air
Heard it through the fog
And hurt by it all
I'd take it back today
But it's out of my hands
it's out of my hands
but it's out of my hands
Lost in the film again
All the signs were showing
Watching a single frame
When the wind begins
You're never anywhere
'Cause you're caught in my weather
Caught in my weather every time
Feels like the first time
We've fallen behind
No use is the other one to wait
But I can hold on
As sure as I'm strong
Get over the faithful yesterday

It's biting, it's teething, it's biting, I'm bleeding,
It's calling, it's crawling, it's calling and I'm falling,
The perfect sound of middle ground,
Pull me under before I try to drag you down,
Someone has to pull me under before I try and drag you,
Drag you, drag you down
They're fighting, they're growing,
They're fighting and they're growing,
I'm biting, I'm teething, I'm biting, they're bleeding
The perfect sound of middle ground,
Pull me under before I try to drag you down,
Someone has to pull me under before I try to drag you,
Drag you, drag you down
...Biting and teething and bleeding...
Pull me under before I try to drag you down,
Someone has to pull me under before I try to drag you down,
Someone has to pull me under before I try to drag you down,
Someone has to pull me under before I try to drag you,
Drag you, drag you down!

Spotlights are roaming
The show will begin
But don't give my circus away
I hope it ends before
you know me
I've lost it completely
My faith is lost again I'd say
I'm tired of this place and I want to go
Riding my carousel
They can never tell
Riding my carousel
They can never tell
I'm spinning and turning
Always revolving
You should have seen it
Where were you?
I needed a stage
To walk all over you
That's better
I'm throwing my three ring away
And I can hear you say
I'm tired of this place
I'm tired of this place and then I think of
Riding my carousel
They can never tell
Riding my carousel
They can never tell
I'm spinning and turning
Always revolving
Close all of the doors
Lock me away
I'm happy I'm here
So let me stay
I'm so tired of this place
I'm tired of this place and then I think of
Riding my carousel
They can never tell
Riding my carousel
They can never tell
I'm spinning and turning
Always revolving
I'm spinning and turning
Always revolving

Are the sins getting staler
Does every moment move past you
Or does it feel like forever
And shouldn't you be laughing too?
Take a look how they found you
Take a look what they've done to you now
What was it they wanted
Sullen and haunted?
If only you saw it coming
[chorus]
How far down would you fall
If you never came up again
'Cause you're so sick of it all
And you want to change everything
Just how deep will you go
To see through it all?
If you could consume her
Would you say you were finding your way out?
Is anything coming clearer
Smashing your mirror?
Still you can see you're guilty
[chorus]
How far down would you fall
If you never came up again
'Cause you're so sick of it all
And you want to change everything
Just how deep will you go
To see through it all?
Coming closer my composure turning
inside out in her
Calling home all alone
You can call I won't answer
Any question in my head
Remains until you feel the same
Never telling how I felt is all I ever cared about
[chorus]
How far down would you fall
If you never came up again
'Cause you're so sick of it all
And you want to change everything
Just how deep will you go
To see through it all?
Coming closer my composure turning
inside out in her
Calling home all alone
You can call I won't answer
Any question in my head
Remains until you feel the same
Remains until you feel the same

Without it I'm failing
My heart waits in the wings alone
The stages I go through
Keep coming time and time and time again
Do you wonder how I stay?
So complacent
It's like waiting for the ocean
To save you from the waves
When you're so far under
Silent
Never moving
You've taken your timing
So flawless executing me
So fearless and hopeful
Can you imagine such a scene?
Do you wonder how I stay?
So complacent
It's like waiting for the ocean
To save you from the waves
When you're so far under
Silent
Never moving
Waiting for the needle to take away the pain
Until finally we numb our every bone
Do you wonder?
Did you ever wonder how I stay?
So complacent
It's like waiting for the ocean
To save you from the waves
When you're so far under
Silent
Never moving
Waiting for the needle to take away the pain
Until finally we numb our every bone

Your sweet little hands
Brush right past me
Sometimes you don't understand
Why you can't reach
I bite when I don't want to bend
How silent I can be
So she is silent too
She's the one who saw my words
Broken, Torn at the seams
And broken words were all she heard
Now she's walking away from me
Some never meant
And some meant well
The difference between us is so
Hard to tell
I was so shaken but now
All I see
Is everything she meant to me
She's the one who saw my words
Broken, Torn at the seams
And broken words were all she heard
Now she's walking away
She's the one who saw my words
Broken, Torn at the seams
And broken words were all she heard
Now she's walking away
She's the one who saw my words
Broken, Torn at the seams
And broken words were all she heard
Now she's walking away
And broken words were all she heard
Now she's walking away

V1: Talk to me
Can you listen to me now
Do you understand
Can you identify
Make a small effort
But you bend
You're bending my mind
And you try
And you try
I can see you're trying to
Pre1: Suffocate
And smother me
Covered so I can't breathe
Chorus: (We) When we collapse
(Fall) Our weakened hands
(Down) Fall together at once abandoned
(We) They'll force you down
(Fall) And strap you in
(Down) Now we agree and understand
V2: 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 give us some sign
As if you're gonna
Pre2: Suffocate
Smothering
Covered so you can't breathe
<chorus>
Bridge: Gently lure your submission
All the while suspicion
Grows Grows
So be sick of listening
To senile old and staggering
Naive youth
Pick us up when
<chorus*2>
Coda: Now we agree and understand

Cloud my eyes and tell me what to see
I'm falling
Every way I turn the same disease
But I like it
Brace myself and hit the wall with ease
Colliding
I'm not minding the pain
I've been down here before
All my bones and joints are sore
Find my way out of the wreck again
I've been down here before
Lost myself and so much more
Find my way out of the game again
Open up my head and take it in
Just like always
Think about the BALL AND CHAIN YOU SWING
Loaded trapeze
What you need the most from me is yours
I'll continue to deceive you my friend
You lost what made you you
Or maybe I never knew
I can't stay here anymore
Give it all or you're on your own
I will leave you
I will leave you
I will leave you
I will leave you

Wait if everything's going great
Can you remember a day to tell?
If someone should wish you well
Then there's a narrow chance
All I want from you my dear friend,
I've already got
I could show you, I could show you how
And you say you've got that feeling again
It won't be long enough but it may never end
I know you say you've got that feeling again
It won't be long enough but it may never end
Wait I thought I had something to say
I will remember someday
Fate found you buckling under the weight
And you thought you would last
And all I got from you my dear friend
I don't even want
I could show you how
And you say you've got that feeling again
It won't be long enough but it may never end
I know you say you've got that feeling again
It won't be long enough but it may never end
I know I know it may never end
Follow your answers
But you look so bitter
Who are you?
Are you famous?
Important?
Don't you stop that glitter, no no
Oh no no
All I wanted from you
Is all forgotten for you
And you say you've got that feeling again
It won't be long enough but it may never end
I know you say you've got that feeling again
It won't be long enough but it may never end
I know I know it may never end
I know I know, but it may never end
I know I know, but it may never end

I'll tell you about the things you put me through
The pain I've been subjected to
The Lord himself would blush
Countless feasts laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
But I think your pulse would start to rush
Now I'm not looking for the absolution
Or forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I've kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
Morality would frown upon
Indecency looked down upon
The scapegoat fate's made of me
But I tell you now, my judge and jurors
Intentions couldn't have been purer
My case is easy is to see
I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I've been through
And before we talk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I've kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my Now I'm not looking for the absolution
Or forgiveness for the things I do
But before we come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I've kept
If you try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I've kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

Restless tonight
Cause I wasted the light
Between both these times
I drew a really thin line

It's nothing I planned
And not that I can
But you should be mine
Across that line

If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn't that be something?

I promise I might
Not walk on by
Maybe next time
But not this time

Even though I know
I don't want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds

If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn't that be something?

Even though I know
I don't want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds

Even though I know
I don't want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds

If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn't that be something?
