White knuckled, no one's fool
The exception to the rule
I slipped the coils and the body piles
I am the wise child

I'll find you even when you can't be found
I'll always end up with the higher ground
You can't capture that which is not wild,
For I am the wise child

I always save my greatest trick for last
Watch me closely, 'cause it happens fast
You haven't noticed, something's out of place
You've got it written all over your face

I'll find you even when you can't be found
I'll always end up with the higher ground
You can't capture that which is not wild,
For I am the wise child

White knuckled, no one's fool
The exception to the rule
I slipped the coils and the body piles
I am the wise child

I'm petrified 'neath the stale, fluorescent lights
I've been strapped down to this bed so many nights
Men in white coats hover 'round the room like ghosts
I'm not sure what terrifies me the most

So many things I've been missing
I can't seem to get you to listen
Hanging somewhere between life and death
Wondering if this could be my last breath

Feels like I'll never stop bleeding
Give me something to believe in
Now I can hardly feel the pain
There's nothing left to fill my empty veins

Listening to all the breaths between your words
I think your voice was the last thing I heard
Consciousness dwindles, but returns to me in waves
Submit to darkness, hoping that I'll be saved

So many things I've been missing
I can't seem to get you to listen
Hanging somewhere between life and death
Wondering if this could be my last breath

Feels like I'll never stop bleeding
Give me something to believe in
Now I can hardly feel the pain
There's nothing left to fill my empty veins

Sometimes I feel like my jaw's wired shut (x3)

Jaw Wired Shut

Can't take my eyes off of the road
They're glued,
All my nightmares are coming true

Get that fucking gun out of my face
It's too late,
You gave me no choice

I'm not getting any younger
I am cracking up
Is it any wonder
I've the dumbest luck?

Look what you've gotten into now
Oh Hell,
What have you done?

Didn't think that it would come to this
Asleep
At the wheel

I'm not getting any younger
I am cracking up
Is it any wonder
I have the dumbest luck?

Get the jaws of life
I'm trapped,
Trapped in this vice

I can't stop this twitch
I can't scratch
This internal itch

Can't take my eyes off of the road
They're glued,
All my nightmares are coming true

I can't deny it anymore
The mob is kicking in my door
My head is filled with memories
Left behind in a deep freeze

If I could pull these clouds apart,
I would clear a path to the moon
It's all I can think about
In these fleeting moments of youth

Like I'm falling out of bed for the last time
And I've crashed right into a land mine

You sit there, looking through the bars of your cage
And then you realize, you're on the outside

When I start swimming out to sea
Expect that I'll begin to bleed
But, I promise that I won't go numb
I'm just waiting for the sharks to come

The sun is coming up on a little screen
I thought it all was just a dream (x3)
I thought it all was just a dream (x3)

Demystified

I'll bite my tongue off before I've said too much
Before I have said...
Losing grip with double helix fingers

I'm slipping through the jagged teeth,
How they cut through me
Like an eraser

I'm paralyzed from the neck up,
But my body moves (x3)

Laughing as you're
Cutting me off
You're wrong if you
Think I've gone soft

But, you couldn't wait
You still took the bait
When life turns stranger than dreams
I could blow it all to smithereens

I could blow it all to smithereens...

I will fight this
Tooth and nail
Turn me into
Your worst nightmare

But you couldn't wait
You still took the bait
When life turns stranger than dreams
I could blow it all to smithereens

I could blow it all to smithereens...

Keep one eye out for yourself, the other out for me
I've been whinging and whining and whining and winding through reality
Are you watching closely? 'Cause in seconds it could be...
Changing hands

Smithereens

Lyrics:

Dip your fingers in the sea
Let me slip right in between
Every movement that you feel
Is a piece of what I used to be

Because...
You make me feel like a million fishes (x4)

Grow some fins with which to swim
And some gills with which to breathe
Let the scales replace your skin
Submit to multiplicity

Because...
You make me feel like a million fishes (x4)
