Paroles de Flowermouth (The Leech)

I have never felt as empty as I feel today Even when the moment's beauty fades in and away That's all it is, a moment And the images creep back into the forefront of my brain From picking up the pieces of unearthing devotion Re-energizing dead feelings I can see the flowers growing out of your mouth While the cancer in your brain begs to get out And I'll try to understand (your) pain again By laying my body on the fire By accepting myself as the enemy It doesn't take much to recognize that these leeches aren't my friends And it gets harder when everything goes through a formula filter (your head) Erase the ones I love the most so I can bleed in peace Relieve the poison from my tongue Embrace a reverie
