lyrics

Bell's Palsy
Every body is made to self-destruct, trying to keep order but the DNA's corrupt.
You can give it all, until there's no more rope, but you know it's the end when it frays on your throat.
All these years in, I don't know how to live, don't know where to begin. all these years in i don't know how to forgive, don't know when to forget. but if you show me how, we'll start right now, we'll start right...won't you show me how, I'll start right now. I'll start right...
No, the coast isn't clear, and that much is clear. we'll ride a tsunami of all our fears, crashing in on an ocean of salty tears. I thought we were swimming, but we've been drowning for years.
All these years in, I don't know how to live, don't know where to begin. all these years in i don't know how to forgive, don't know when to forget. but if you show me how, we'll start right now, we'll start right...won't you show me how, I'll start right now. I'll start right...
If i had metal claws and no tension in my jaws, and a flying machine with a VCR that recorded dreams I might figure out what this life means. I might figure out just what it means.
and I'm caught between heaven and earth, and I want to transcend but nothing works.
and I'm caught between heaven and earth trying to ascend but everything hurts.
All these years in, I don't know how to live, don't know where to begin. All these years in I don't know how to forgive, don't know when to forget. but if you show me how, we'll start right now, we'll start right...won't you show me how, I'll start right now. I'll start right...
