Look Alive

Look Alive

Killing Tree (The)
(album: The Romance Of Helen Trent)

I hold you and I am fearless
I touch you and I´m not afraid
I see you and I´m overcome
With feeling I cant explain

Come say that to my face
And I´ll rip out your fucking tongue
I reckon you you don´t know my name
Take it for granted while the blind
still dream in colors they´ve not yet seen

You are a deadline I can´t make
Better late then never I always say
The last of the romantic
Take this for granted while the blind
Still dream in colors they´ve not yet seen
And scrawl their thoughts
On pens that ran out of ink

no one to blame but myself

I see your face in the sky
Someday I´ll put this behind
I´m getting on with my life

I tried to tell you everything
But my voice is too loud
I tried to hold you close to me
But my claws are too sharp

I´ve seen that dead look before
To paralyzed to move
Don´t try to hold me back
´Cuz you´re so afraid to move

The same thing that keeps me alive
is the same one I´ll gladly bite
(tell me) That your sorry
(tell me) That you love me
(tell me) That you´ll be here now
While I go blind
Still dream in colors they´ve not yet seen
And scrawl their thoughts
on pens that ran out of ink

I see your face in the sky
Someday I´ll put this behind
I´m getting on with my life

I tried to tell you everything
But my voice is too loud
I tried to hold you close to me
But my claws are too sharp
But I tried

I see your face in the sky
Someday I´ll put this behind
I´m getting on with my life
And they tell me to look alive
