01:41] No innocent exit when hope dies, And claustrophobia buys my mind, I ran to breathe contagious lies, No reason for just living life. Ripcord opens but my soul is cold, With you I never felt more alone, Skin never sweating dignity, Kept my line beneath ecstacy. [Pre-Chorus - 02:09] This fragile prison of sanity, An ocean wave to death babe, Masochistic love going nowhere, You're nothing, pestilence, a seed.
