At The Drive In - Speechless lyrics

mother nature never smelled so good

can i taste the flower that you carry

brilliant minds with pretty faces never cry

pedastal is crumbling down

now you're on the ground

selfless days are way too many

lay back, spread your legs, and don't make a sound

hiding bruises he brings you roses

says "i'm sorry" now it's okay

no hard feelings, no deep meanings

you were once special

but just for a day

he hook and baits you

to break you in two

now no one is saying

that it'll be all right

promises when he says "i love you"

face first to the floor

now you just don't know

speak up!

because no one's listening

all those lonely nights

you stayed up and cried

sick to your stomach with butterflies

he says "come here and hold me close

you never really seem to smile when i touch you"

saccharine sweet flavored drinks

taste so old

this burning in your mind

makes you feel so cold

no recollection of affection

we're only safe from harm when nothing

matters only 20 years have passed

and you're already feeling old

bell jar is ringing

and no one understands the feeling of

kicking a dead cow

and hoping that i will come alive

when everything is wrong

you just say..

"i'm doing fine."

she's reaching for something right
