Next to Ungodliness
(Premeditate!)
I can't see far past the present, and
Fortune-telling's not my profession, but
I can see the crystal ball
Formed out of the water
Through it, I can see it all
When they ask you, what are you hiding from?
All of the others in the way!
And on this wall, a different reflection
I can recall it's not the same face
Quick!
Pull this rope
Wash your hands of this
It's the dark reflecting
Images reflecting
And you're full of it
When all our thoughts are dirty
Can we get them clean?
Hold our heads under the water
Let our eyes roll back
And look deep, deep into our skulls
Is there anything worth keeping?
When they ask you, what are you hiding from?
All of the others in the way!
(The sink is full, the bubbles rise) And on this wall
(And stare at me like spider eyes) A different reflection
I can recall it's not the same face
When nothing else will hold me up
Broken tiles on the bathroom floor will have to do
If nothing else can pull me through
I just can't remember!
Why can't I remember?
When's the first time I looked in the mirror and said "I hope I die"?
I know
You'll keep pretending
Let me be the same!
Let me be this way!
I know
You'll keep pretending
Let me be the same!
Let me be this way!
I know
You'll keep pretending
Let me the same!
Let me be this way!
I know
You'll keep pretending
I can't see far past the present, and
Fortune-telling's not my profession, but
I can see the crystal ball
Formed out of the water
Through it, I can see it all
When they ask you, what are you hiding from?
All of the others in the way!
And on this wall, a different reflection
I can recall it's not the same face
Quick!
Pull this rope
Wash your hands of this
It's the dark reflecting
Images reflecting
And you're full of it
When all our thoughts are dirty
Can we get them clean?
Hold our heads under the water
Let our eyes roll back
And look deep, deep into our skulls
Is there anything worth keeping?
When they ask you, what are you hiding from?
All of the others in the way!
(The sink is full, the bubbles rise) And on this wall
(And stare at me like spider eyes) A different reflection
I can recall it's not the same face
When nothing else will hold me up
Broken tiles on the bathroom floor will have to do
If nothing else can pull me through
I just can't remember!
Why can't I remember?
When's the first time I looked in the mirror and said "I hope I die"?
I know
You'll keep pretending
Let me be the same!
Let me be this way!
I know
You'll keep pretending
Let me be the same!
Let me be this way!
I know
You'll keep pretending
Let me the same!
Let me be this way!
I know
You'll keep pretending
