There's something in the water

There's something in the water

There's something in the water

There's something in the water

Are you so secure in being everything you know?

Don't you fear that god is watching?

Am I really worthy to be chasing any dream?

When I'll always be my worst mistakes

"Smile for the cameras (Smile for the cameras)

Aren't you contented In attention?"

"Everyone loves you (Everyone loves you)"

Yet they've never Seen my fangs

—

Could you still love me?

They sic me through the curtain

How did I make it?

How did I make it?

How did I make it out alive?

Driven by self preservation

When I could be your prey

How am I different?

How am I different?

Different from the wounds I pried

—

'Cuz saying anything is trying too hard

But silence is a bastard

Out on the edge of the knife, oh my!

Letting the audience fester

Can anybody be a saint these days?

Each breath congeals and rasters

Out on the edge of my mind, oh my!

Become undone in ashes

—

[Wolf howls]

Moving in slow motion 'cuz there is no other way

Any sudden move could scatter them

Lonely are the stars void of silent observers

Bursting into dust and questions

"Aren't you happy? (Aren't you happy?)

They all look up at you"

"Shining star girl (Shining star girl)"

Remove this fowl her foul coop

—

Could I lay right down

At the crossing of penance

Let it come over

Let it come over

Let it come all over me

Some part of my useless meat

Must satisfy your mercy

Take whatever pleases

Take whatever pleases

But you won't find a purity

—

'Cuz saying anything is trying too hard

But silence is a bastard

Out on the edge of the knife, oh my!

Letting the audience fester

Can anybody be a saint these days?

Each breath congeals and rasters

Out on the edge of my mind, oh my!

Become undone in ashes

—

It's just too much to come clean

Too little to just breathe

"I forgive you, I forgive you"

But I still can't sleep
