SHUDDER

[Verse]

Why do I sense blood on my tongue, waiting

Just to swallow it down?

Do I solve all the jigsaw puzzles

Just to tear them apart?

I inherited my impatience

Please just give me a chance

I can’t help it

I forget the taste of my own ignorance!

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Sing me a song then break me

Witness the creature of your games

Your final words and your breath forsake me

Taking your time with window panes

[Chorus]

I watch the skies go by

Farewell to endless summer

The sun will burn your eyes

But I look up and shudder

The memories will die

But I can hear them mutter

They look me in the eye

But I look down and shudder

[Post Chorus]

Oh I look down and shudder

Oh, oh...

[Rap]

“L-l-l-listen,” he said

With a lisp and stutter. I

Took a snapshot with a lens and a shutter

And a shudder and a shake

And a voice from the gutter said…

“Drink another drop and it won’t stop biting at ya’

Think a different thought and it won’t stop fighting with ya’

Close your eyes again and you won’t see the other side

Take a breath again

You won’t be unified.”

Divides coincide with sides of my brain

A shiver down my spine and the rush of the pain

Took a shot to the heart from behind and was left numb

Bullets come out cameras in the gutter where I left him

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Sing me a song then break me

Witness the creature of your games

Your final words and your breath forsake me

And now I’m

Stop. Start.

Let me go

From this aimless

Endeavor

Start. Stop.

Let me go

Crossfade this life

Forever

(Ever…x6)

[Chorus]

I watch the skies go by

Farewell to endless summer

The sun will burn your eyes

But I look up and shudder

The memories will die

But I can hear them mutter

They look me in the eye

But I look down and shudder

[Bridge]

Can I see it now?

Can I hear it now?

Can I taste it now?

Will I ever?

How do I see all my imperfections when the mirrors are cracked?

Can I hear any affirmation for the way that I act?

Could I have a taste of ambition to give hope to the past?

I can feel it…

I can feel it!

[Chorus]

I watch the skies go by

Farewell to endless summer

The sun will burn your eyes

But I look up and shudder

The memories may die

But I recall everything

They look me in the eye

But I look down and shudder

I see myself and shudder

Oh, I breathe in and shudder

I see you and I shudder

I don’t know why I shudder

[Outro]

Oh, I look down and shudder

I don’t know why I shudder...
