walk down the street
i see your angels fall like diamonds
pale in the light
that keeps me moving through time
and i tell myself that all i want is all i'll ever need
and all i need is something
you will not believe in

in the air hangs the disease
of your mind and of your knees
fear grips and pulls you down to this

(wake up) flip the switch
to see what's right in front of me
staring at myself through eyes of days gone by
and i tell myself these things are only what you make them
but it's hard to build
when what you taught me was a lie

in the air hangs the disease
of your mind and of your knees
fear grips and pulls you down to this

it's come to this
you never know the question
eats in the skin
fore-eye is open
and i've said for days
"i'm over this"
you've taken revival
hit or miss
but i'll give you this:
woman to call sire
to save your sorry ass
from your "eternal fire"
