lyrics

I need you should be a simple thing to feel
And holding you against me should bring a calm
But there's a burning beneath my skin
Like a stab at my fingertips
I slip and pulsing comes pushing through
That sting of all the insecurities I feel.
That one day you would find somebody's touch to tear away those years
To take away the burdens I've become accustomed to
To shake away the years of rot that clouded my view of you
To sweep off the dust on a torn open chest
And breath in a fresh air into a seldom trusted lung
Tell me something simple some sense of truth to pass the time
To trade away this silence for a whisper
To breath my air in for me as the pounding hits my head
You are the song in the back of my head
You are the words that I wrote but never read
You are the song in the back of my head
You are my worst.

one of the best and most excellent midwest emo record there is! amazingly well mixed for midwest emo. waterbed from this record compared to their mv version proves how important a good mix is, because suddenly this song sounds a lot more raw yet well produced in here. singaporecentralemo
