lyrics

The door creaks now
I'm not your sanctuary, am I?
It's over today. It's like it was before.
Safety, where have you gone?
Why have you left me on my own?
I'm caught up in this clock that keeps on polishing a stone because I love you.
All time has stopped tonight.
When will it end?
Will it be tomorrow or will this hunchback of notre dame
finally given up on making me borrow his robes?
Enough. You act like you're so f**king tough, but
you know I'm your friend, so why don't you pack it in?

The floor creaks,
the door creaks,
it's 4am and I'm in love
with your shadow
imprisoned in my eyes.

And all, all the seasons, they're tied around your waist.
Infinite evolving patterns of reptilian lace.

And all, all directions you told me not to face.
And all these careful warnings that just go to waste.

And all! And all!

Don't try to be my friend.
You're just what's under my skin.
