A Looking In View [German translation]

Hear foot steps creek the floor

The shadows give away

Someone outside the door

Won't let em in

Life damaged gives to crime

A run down broke machine

That steals your piece of mind

Before you know it's gone

Lay

Down

Wait

Silence burning on your tongue

Keep us separate, sullen, dumb

Hiding in the darkness under

Boiling to the surface, something

A looking in view too long on the outside

Desperate plans make sense in a low life

A looking in view too long on the outside

Desperate plans make sense in a low life

These things I hate in you

Also reflect it seems

Distortion laced with spite

Teach you outta me

Lay

Now

Lay

Hiding in the darkness under

Boiling to the surface, something

Crawling on your skin discomfort

Makes you break, run, stumble, fall

A looking in view too long on the outside

Desperate plans make sense in a low life

A looking in view too long on the outside

Desperate plans make sense in a low life

It's why you never tell me (what's on your mind)

It's why you never tell me (what's on your mind)

It's why you never tell me (what's on your mind)

It's why you never tell me (what's on your mind)

A looking in view too long on the outside

Desperate plans make sense in a low life

A looking in view too long on the outside

Desperate plans make sense in a low life

It's why you never tell me (what's on your mind)
