The trickle of torture slides slowly From your cold blue lips. Thoughts and words bob and weave Around fired inquisitions Drip drip drip (Pre-chorus) Twist and turn to build your defenses Carefully crafted and slowly released. --- Drip (Chorus) Tiny morsels of pain chipping, peeling, rubbing, chafing, eroding imperceptible portions of light… dimming to dusk when truth tricks sight. magnify the insignificant casting shadows on the soul Betraying the source; ...a skin covered black hole. Drip drip drip The Trickle of torture collects In a pool of doubt and shame and Inadequacy. Drip drip drip Sitting stagnant and stale birthing bacteria and disease. Growing gradually deeper from the Drip drip drip (Pre-chorus) Twist and turn to build your defenses Carefully crafted and slowly released. Drip (Chorus) Tiny morsels of pain chipping, peeling, rubbing, chafing, eroding imperceptible portions of light… dimming to dusk when truth tricks sight. magnify the insignificant casting shadows on the soul Betraying the source; ...a skin covered black hole. Drip drip drip (Bridge) I see the reflected face in the water staring Into my Eyes as I scramble to collect precious beams of remaining light She watches as I clench the beams In the palm of my hand and shake off the urge to hold your head under the stagnant water of your torture pool. ... Drip, drip, drip... (Spoken) She beckons... ...I deny She pleads... ...I ignore (Pre-chorus) Twist and turn to build your defenses Carefully crafted and slowly released. (Chorus) Tiny morsels of pain chipping, peeling, rubbing, chafing, eroding imperceptible portions of light… dimming to dusk when truth tricks sight. magnify the insignificant casting shadows on the soul Betraying the source; ...a skin covered black hole. I straighten the crooked mask disguising the damage and turn with a frozen forgiving smile offering you a refreshing glass of your filtered torture To sip! sip! sip!
