Geneva from Velvet by Autumn & The Afterthoughts

I can feel a new sickness,
Isolation bear witness,
I'm just not in the fitness,
To panic through waking eyes,
You don't know what I need,
And you can't see what I've seen,
And I can hear that heart beating,
Out into the countryside.

I can't move on form this,
Anymore than chasing it,
I've lost the ecstasy,
Haunted in my own image.

Why, oh, why,
Did I try,
Oh I tried,
Why, oh, why,
Can I not rest,
Until you close your eyes.

This is all a distraction,
Shallow satisfaction
Maybe I was just acting
Manipulating myself,
Wretched is the demon,
Given life without reason,
My consciousness it screams,
Atrocity to life itself.

I can't hold on to this,
Anymore than savor it,
I can't relax the stakes,
That only want to watch me break.

Why, oh, why,
Did I try,
Oh I tried,
Why, oh, why,
Did I try,
Oh I tried,
Why, oh, why,
Can't I hide,
Well I tried,
Why, oh, why,
Can I not rest,
Until you close your eyes.

Why, oh, why,
Did I try,
Oh I tried,
Why, oh, why,
Did I try,
Oh I tried,
Why, oh, why,
Can't I hide,
Well I tried,
Why, oh, why,
Can I not rest,
Until you close your eyes.
