#ZIPP
----------

Bring out your dead...
Bring out your dead...
No cajolery needed.
Colloquy, left aside.
Bring out your dead...
Bring out your dead...
Bring out your dead...

Yesterday was wide open, for us.
I reminisce with bloodshot eyes.
With open arms and open hearts
you set us down to perish.

Tomorrow - I hope that I can breathe, again.
Hope - I hope that I can escape from the clutches.
Open arms and open hearts...
Open arms and open hearts...

Existence stifling...
The panic settles in, expands- contaminates.
Lump in my throat,
Cat caught my tongue.
Each dreadful second passes, passing slowly...
Now, I loathe myself and every thread of my being...

I confess-
that I'd confess-
Words can't describe the way I shake in my slumber.
I confess-
that I'd confess-
I realize, quite well, it's just that-
I don't want to see it,
I don't want to see it,
I won't.
I don't want to see it,
I don't want to see it,
I won't.

Let the light pass over.
Catotonic, I am...
Entertain you.
Please, continue.

Proceed, this way-
beg for forgiveness.
Proceed, this way-
Some sense of safety.
Proceed, this way-
beg for forgiveness.
Proceed, this way-
sometimes, it's all that we have.

Sanctuary to be...
Sanctuary to be...
Sanctuary to be...
Sanctuary to be...

Yesterday was wide open, for us.
I reminisce with bloodshot eyes.
With open arms and open hearts
you set us down to perish.

Tomorrow - I hope that I can breathe, again.
Hope - I hope that I can escape from the clutches.
Open arms and open hearts...
Open arms and open hearts...

Bring out your dead...
Bring out your dead...
Bring out your dead...
Bring out your dead...
Bring out your dead...
Bring out your dead...

I Am Six - "#ZIPP"  (w/lyrics)

"Shut Up, James..."
-------------------
We're seeking pleasure through amputation.
How many more until we fall apart?
One can only hold on for, oh, so long.
From pieces-to pieces.

From the moment that we met, I felt like I was truly everything.
The moment that we met, I felt that it was truly meant to be.
From the bitter disconnect you left I still feel it all-
All appendages submerged, appendages submerged.

Now grab a hold of my noose and throw me on display.
Your ornament and now your trophy for the kill.

Never enough.
This love is prison. Stockholm Syndrome-galore.
In this life sentence, I await on my deathbed.

The secret, being: "break your heart-before they get the satisfaction."
It's all you've had, but they'll never have you.
Amore-ridden-Helter Skelter.
Dragging knives to kill another.
It's all you've had, but they'll never have you.
                                                         
And it was washed away...                  
With the waves...                                     
With the waves...                                      
Taking anything and everything...                         
Ever to mean anything...
They say, I've been told, I "have a fascination with drowning."
Idle, beside your side... (I SAID IT WAS OVER)                           
Watching my starving heart devoured.(I BELIEVED ME WHEN I DID)                                    
Binge, binge and purge, some more... (I SAID IT WAS OVER)                  
Just as long as it makes you feel whole. (I BELIEVED ME WHEN I DID)            

Hold me down.
This is not the price that's been given.

The secret, being: "break your heart-before they get the satisfaction."
It's all you've had, but they'll never have you.
Amore-ridden-Helter Skelter.
Dragging knives to kill another.
It's all you've had, but they'll never have you.

(Oh, my god!)
What will you see when you close your eyes?

My greatest accomplishment was letting you down.
