Lyrics
Quake

Can't complain 'bout everything
This one leaves me
With a permanent stain all over me
I can't take the way you look at me
Those eyes could never lie
The truth will find its way out
In time I'll pour it out
Until then I'll keep you inside my head
Take a look at what's beneath your feet
Flowers that once made you smile have turned to stone
Now they're grinding down your teeth
Walls around your mind can't keep you safe
Build them up with steel and stone
And watch your soul escape
Get through today
And know that you are secure
Get a grasp on the fact
That this is what you're here for
You can quake at the thought of it
Shakes you up quite a bit
And all you do is think
And thinking gets you nowhere
Just wait for clarity
You say this will all make sense
Just stay here with me
I can't take the way you look at me
Control, I have lost
There's no sense in clawing myself out
And I know you can't live without
Taking all that's left inside my head
Take a look at what's beneath your feet
Flowers that once made you smile have turned to stone
Now they're grinding down your teeth
The walls around your mind can't keep you safe
Build them up with steel and stone
And watch your soul escape, away
