Apnea Songtext

von Aftertaste

When conversation is candid, a minimum of panic
And adjectives add color to it all
Rumors run amok like redneck pickup trucks
They're lifted up and rippin' up my yard (lawn)
Think you'll find a crowd and get real drunk and loud
You turn around and everyone('s) on guard (is gone)
Make your idle threats and pretend you lost a bet
You shave yourself like Geldof in ³The Wall²
When conversation is static the minimum is havoc
And adjectives can't cover it at all
so save your breath cause you have sucked the last one from my chest
and say your prayers and hope there's something out there
You can try to scream a thousand different things
But you know you never will be heard
And you can turn a phrase a dozen different ways
But in the end they're still just words
(to tell you it's okay)
(so you know you're not alone)
Please let me out (is anybody there?)
Something ain't right down here (anyone at all?)
Please get me out ( does anybody care...)
There's something alive down here (...at all?)
so save your breath cause you have sucked the last one from my chest
and say your prayers and hope there's something out there, and it cares
are you there, and tell me have you ever been so scared?
cause I never, ever have been so scared
