linoleum

Pain Of Salvation

LINOLEUM

She keeps the world at bay
With walls built to stand come-what-may
And where the corners on this pave they held on till today
She would hold her own
Running all alone
Ridding her off of every grain
To stay in control

But now
She cries
Alive

Suddenly she is down on all four
And the walls will support her no more
Cries her eyes out like never before
Untill this linoleum got bottled up and stored

She?s won every war
And when she?s out that door
She will push ahead of you
Frowning at the poor
She would move so fast not to end up last
Aiming for the finish line
To smile at those she passed

But now
She cries
Alive

Suddenly she is down on all four
And the walls will support her no more
Cries her eyes out like never before
Untill this linoleum got bottled up and stored

And sometimes
Just sometimes
That?s really all it takes
A hand on her shoulder
Then she breaks

Sometimes that's really all it takes
A word of kindness and she breaks
To see the sum of damage done
This ?young? and stale linoleum
(...she breaks!)

Sometimes that's really all it takes
A gentle touch and then she breaks
To see the sum of damage done
In this linoleum
(...she breaks)

Sometimes that's really all it takes
A word or touch and then we break
And all this bruised linoleum
Can't hold the sum of damage
DONE!


Itsy bitsy spider
Climbed the water spout
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Now she stays on the ground
So she'll never fall
See, she would rather drown
Than lose control

(She's becoming her last casualty
If she waits ?? she'll be free
But she keeps ?? once more
???)
