Wake Up 
Can You Hear Me? 
You're so clever 
Did you find me? 
In the backroom 
In your closet 
In your suitcase 
don't Go running 
I will find you 
Like the glacier 
In the seabed, leaving Canyons 
In your cheekbones 
passing through you 
Like a baby
Getting splinters 

[Chorus]
Cut Your Ribbon 
And It Falls From The Stream 
Everything, Everything 
how can you sleep at night 
As it falls apart 
Anything Anything 
how can you sleep at night 

Wake up
Can you hear me
Your so clever
Did you find me 
In the backroom
In your closet
In your suitcase
don't Go Runnin'
I will find you
Like a glacier
In the seabeds
Leaving canyons
In your cheekbones
Passing through you
Like a baby
Getting splinters

[Chorus] 

Terror,Horror,Suspect,The more it takes to
Kill,suspect,the more it takes to
Kill,suspect,the more it takes to
Kill,suspect,more tears

[Chorus]
