Smothering Me

Where lies the reason for us to get up again after each fall Why is there a sting behind our backs forcing us to carry on And we carry on One by one we all decay We are your puppets and just can't get away One by one we all decay We or our loved ones aren't here to stay Can't all these weeping people see how we blindly bow before thee? Cut me loose from this family tree Melancholic You are smothering me You are smothering me Smothering me Your arms are ticking away every moment that I wanted to last Stretched out bitter ones that should have passed I, I, I, I'm stuttering It's unsurpassed Too afraid of the candle burning out too fast Can not really breathe without feeling harassed One by one we all decay We are your puppets and just can't get away One by one we all decay We or our loved ones aren't here to stay Can't all these weeping people see how we blindly bow before thee? Cut me loose from this family tree Melancholic You are smothering me You are smothering me You are smothering me You are smothering me You are smothering me You are smothering me
