Lyrics
Stinkfist
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Something has to change, undeniable dilemma
Boredom's not a burden, anyone should bear
Constant over stimulation numbs me
But I would not want you any other way
Cause
It's not enough, I need more
Nothing seems to satisfy
I said I don't want it, I just need it
To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive
Finger deep within the borderline
Show me that you love me and that we belong together
Relax, turn around and take my hand
I can help you change tired moments into pleasure
Say the word and we'll be well upon our way
Blend and balance, pain and comfort deep within you
Till you will not want me any other way
But
It's not enough, I need more
Nothing seems to satisfy
I said I don't want it, I just need it
To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive
Knuckle deep inside the borderline
This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to
Relax, turn away
Something kinda sad about
The way that things have come to be
Desensitized to everything
What became of subtlety?
How can this all mean anything to me
If I really don't feel anything at all?
I'll keep digging
Until I feel something
Elbow deep inside the borderline
Show me that you love me and that we belong together
Shoulder deep within the borderline
Relax, turn around and take my hand
