You live in a world wrapped in cellophane
(can you break out),
a plastic coating keeping the monsters
from getting to you, honey
(get-get-getting to you)
You can hardly breathe, but it's better than
breathing in distrust
Can you see me among all the ugly faces?
(that were pretty before)
Close your eyes, dear,
I'm alive in your head
But open them and the scene begins to change.
Are you going crazy,
or is this shield failing you,
just like I did?
My protests were muffled
and traveled like lies to your ears
My misshaped mouth formed the words
you imagined you heard
you couldn't believe that you once kissed
such a criminal
(but I broke all the rules)
But you're worth more than that to me
(you're worth more than it seems)
and I keep on fighting for clarity
This plastic wall is keeping you from me,
from being by my side, my real side
(true side)
Sweetie, your need for protection only hurts you more
You're growing dizzy,
but you're holding on to the wrong things
to keep you from falling to the ground
They're pulling you down
(down down down)
I would be your crutch,
if only you would let me
I can't break through your cellophane prison,
you're fading way too fast
One last kiss and I will leave one last sin to
fizzle on your lips
Feel free to dwell on it as you waste away
in your hollow shell
Your eyes droop and your hand goes limp
You're avoiding the monsters
as my meaning slides down your throat
(run and fade away)
It was all your fault
(your fault)
