Cradle Your World

from Smithcrawler (unmastered) by The Flaks

/

lyrics

Plastic bastard.
Hollow mannequin drag show.
Sick of being yourself, an individual.
Always tired from being alone.
A ringing in your ears from screaming at the wall.
Mirrored top velvet casket. 
Another squick, a social straight-jacket.
The malice in your eyes sees only out of spite for those who are blind.  Don’t come too close or try to see inside.
Like the river, drowning all your pride.
Watching the rain fall on your face won’t clear the blackened sky.  And one day you won’t believe your truth that everything’s a lie.
So full of hot air I can see your breath.
Too good to clean up after wallowing in your mess.
But I guess it’s better to be safe than to risk
everyone knowing you expect to fail, so you don’t get disappointed. 
And you’re falling down, right down to your knees.
Feel the systemic-toss and the cold breeze.
It seems you’d buy anything, everything, just to escape your thoughts in your mind race.
Well have you ever wanted just to feel secure,
to feel the cold, cold pride, or maybe just the warm.
‘Hold your head in your hands, and cradle it in your lap, or feel the touch of a friend on your back. 
Don’t try to pretend you feel so secure.
Anything they could say you’ve told yourself 1,000 times before.
