talk to me
can you listen to me now
do you understand
can you identify? but it's as if you seem to make a small effort
but you bend, you're bending my mind, and you try to suffocate, and
smother me
covered so i can't breathe
we collapse our weakened hands fall together at once abandoned
they'll fore you down and strap you in, now we agree and understand

speak slowly
you gotta get it all out now
what are you saying?
just remember we will always be herejust in case you have been
waiting, waiting to show us something or give us some sign
as if you're gonna suffocate, smothering
covered so you can't breathe

chorus

gently lure your submission
all the while suspicion grows
so be sick of listening
to senile old and staggering naive youth
pick us up when we fall down
