"The Quiet Shakes" lyrics

"The Quiet Shakes"

Your snake-like cross is getting a bit too close
Your stained-glass eyes shatter through my bones

Go on, rip my pictures off the wall
Nail my wrap sheet bible in their place

Call it what you want, don't look me in the face
Couldn't hear a thing you said when the fits coming on

Say you only want the best for us
Then you turn around and steal my trust right off my tongue
Yeah, I only want the best for us
Tell me why you won't believe me, need me, cut and run

Good God, you never leave
I fear I am not alone
Terminal apathy
Don't go

Disappearing
And I can't help it 'cause I
Don't know how this ends (But it won't end well again)
The room is spinning
Stay out of this 'cause I
Don't know how this ends

I said I wanted nothing, nothing from you
I feel like I am spilling out all over the room

Go on, pull me back into your arms
Hang my crooked smile back on the wall

Say you only want the best for us
Then you turn around and steal my trust right off my tongue
Yeah, I only want the best for us
Tell me why you won't believe me, need me, cut and run

Ride embers down to empty corners in my mind
Hurts to settle in
Oh, I'm heavy and in the way

Disappearing
And I can't help it 'cause I
Don't know how this ends (But it won't end well again)
The room is spinning
Stay out of this 'cause I
Don't know how this ends
