POISON THE WELL LYRICS:

Distance Only Makes The Heart Grow Fonder (1998)
1. Grain Of Salt
Another day passes by. Another attempt at love. Remains unrequited.
Why do I even bother? I should have learned from the past. I am but a statue.
Impervious to love. This punctured heart is mine. Becomes a handful of dust. Dust.
Hope has now wilted away. Wilted. Along with these dreams. That became emptiness.
A final exit becomes clear. I am self destructive. A product of this solitude.
I am riddled with shards. One simple wish now dies. Was my request so great?
One simple wish now dies [x3].
Was my request so great? Once again I drown in its denial. Was it so complicated?
Once again. I've been. Spit upon. Taken with a grain of salt. My life is gone.
2. Lost In Silence
I've left my mark. I've made my statement. I won't go unnoticed. Past this day.
My person ideals. A building block for this world. Never again. Will I sit in silence.
As many sit by and watch. Our world pass by. I refuse to take my seat.
I refuse to die in silence. [x2]
So many die in silence. Their voices go unheard. They sit unnoticed.
They stand alone. [x3]
Their voices dictate. The way your life is lived. Too afraid to speak.
Too scared to oppose. The fear inside you. Breeds your silence.
So now you live. The live of another.
3. Torn
Feelings non existent. Loss of a tortured soul. So cold and fearful.
Unnoticed and unclaimed. Left as one alone. On the endless road.
To bear on for a lifetime. Of loneliness.
She sits alone and slowly fades away into nothingness.
[chorus]
and as she struggles on. Her mind begins to wander.
Thoughts of endless bliss. The wind her only friend.
Never again to be cared for.
She holds her head up high.
Just a mask to hide the tears behind.
Only wanting to die. [x2]
As they sit by and watch. Another dead existance. Dreams torn apart.
As the spirit dies. Hiding behind the lies. And silent darkness.
[chorus]
4. Obstacle
As the weakend. Attempt to stand. The cold wind of progression. Causes their downfall.
Taken what was theirs. Now you call it yours. Your thievery justified.
By legislation and might. The control of majority. Never ceases to overpower.
The wounded and unfortunate. Left for dead without a second thought.
[chorus]
looking deep into a mirror. The image frightens you.
What you've become. Your own obstacle.
The burden placed. On your shoulders.
Causes guilt to flow. Through a once deadend soul. Which took so much. From so many others.
One choice is left. To take from yourself. What they worked. So hard to achieve.
Taken by your hand of disdain.
[chorus]
And as you realize. That the mirror doesn't lie.
And the self you imagined. Is yet another fantasy.
And as realization takes it's toll.
A cold feeling overwhelms you. And you've become. Your own obstacle.
5. Material Christ
Your so called meager life. Is plagued with riches. Born by the strong beliefs.
Of your many victims. The task that they enthrusted. Within your powers.
Yet they remain unchanged. Your god is non existent. You speak of your god.
Does he condemn your life. You're nothing but a hypocrite. Actions speak over words.
The many sins you've lived. The many lies you've told. Your defaming existence.
Hidden by a power tie. Where's your god. Who do you answer to. How do you live with yourself.
Where's your conscience. Where's your conscience. Do you think. This is just.
Such an excess of assets. While they hope to eat. Your golden spoon. Their hand to mouth.
After your final days. Where will you go. Your sins direct you. Not your words.
Your god is nothing. Your god is non existant. He's nothing.
The Opposite Of December... A Season Of Seperation (1999)
1. 12/23/93
Gouge out my eyes / pestilence
lack of love binds / propagate / the strife you desire
keep me from forced self depiction / abhorate
self assured I am no more / take this away from me once more /
thirsted for something that never existed /
Complacent / I am abomination / I replace
absence of malice / sew my mouth shut
the silent sound of the end / I drown in tears
Sinking in dreams / Of what I once owned
I avoid the setting of the sun [x2]
Memories fade as you did once before
Stole hope from right under my eyes
Accomplice of my death
2. A Wish For Wings That Work
Could I end my life with a knife shaped of problems
sweet satisfaction of a night sky with horns
a papercut bleeds like a cut vein
could this sky open up and accept this tortured soul
but my wings have yet to work
but my wings have yet to work
change means nothing
when nothing wants to change
save your strength for the first disappointment
change means nothing
when nothing wants to change
save your strength for the first, for the first
forever is such an unpleasant word
it begins to eat you / from the inside out / beg for sleep
as this noose is tied around around your neck
a papercut bleeds like a cut vein
could this sky open up and accept this tortured soul
but my wings have yet to work
but my wings have yet to work
forever is such an unpleasant word
it begins to eat you
from the inside out
beg for sleep
as this noose is tied around your neck
as its tied around your neck
Could I end my life with a knife shaped of problems
shaped of problems
3. Artists Rendering Of Me
With all my said unsaids / Never swallow
The idea of a happy ending
Another days memory dies
As I'm made to smile / these lifeless days
have left me with an empty heart
another wounded memory dies
I could / never / swallow your false ideals
of a lifeless / happy ending
how could words slit wrists and doors close
present day heart felt moments / killed by a slap
to the hand / another wounded memory dries
poisonous screams with messages
not thought of when released
another day here / another memory dies
4. Slice Paper Wrists
When you read this / I will not be the same
I have let my true form show
this is my last / lost in all my guilt
for letting you fall / understand it wasn't me
but I can't dream without showing intentions
as I ask these questions / where were you
now I can't see through your eyes
I remember the day the sun went out
It halted all progression with all its beauty
it just sacrificed / we fell apart
Sincerely yours I've disowned you [x3]
Sincerely yours I've disowned us
5. Nerdy
Why do your eyes paralyze me
What makes me feel this way
Just carry me away with silence and heartbeats
As rapid thinking about your embrace
and how it makes me feel
I just want to feel this way forever
Sleep on portraits painted as perfect as you
Why have I been given the chance to fly
When I'm not with you I feel lesser alone
I remember your face / imprinted on angels
Your voice as beautiful / as the sounds of waves
crashing against my heart
Time slows down when you look at me
I'm infatuated with this / infatuated with you
It's so hard for me to understand why
I hadn't found you before don't dull away
hold my hand
6. To Mandate Heaven
I know very well the rain falls in drops [x2]
Winds call me
As rain falls in drops I drop my head
I'm ashamed and tempted to say
My heart has caught up to me
but still these words hold my hand
Please stay a while longer
I don't want to be alone
To see in your eyes is to stare in clear skies.
Clouds don't trail me anymore
7. Not Within Arms Length
Not within arms length
I'd sever the stars from the sky
and place them in your hands
if I thought another wish / they'd see the light of day
but you stand beyond the sun
Beyond the reach of just a friend
maybe if i grew wings / maybe if you lost yours
these words would flow like water
if you'd let them scrape your heart
Not with in arms length
embedded within my concise effort
a silent cry / I receive no comfort
and as I collapse we remain nothing more than friends
As I hold my breath / a throat full of cement
I'm disgusted by repetition I accept this curse
of friendship / your friend / friendship
8. Mid Air Love Message
Kisses are never safe when residue of old love is left
how could I feel lesser when someone better
walks around / waiting for you to call out
As your cold hand grasps mine I feel unright
and privileged to be able to look
in your eyes / same chemical as stars
Deformed fingers leave trails of hearts in writing
could three words be the end to births only meaning
Crying to sleep is my remedy
urgently trying to stand on broken / confused legs
Am I looking for reasons not to be happy
emotions catch up with me / I'm too fast for them
9. My Mirror No Longer
Choke on your forked tongue as you lie to me again
Say it's too early to show how we feel
just shove me away / but what can be said
to someone who can't hear
or comprehend your actions
I've lost faith in what I've been told / it's all a lie
I show true feelings always feeling the pain
Smash me to the ground a thousand times as before
But I can't rationalize anymore / carry me away
on concrete pillows incinerate me once more
Love means nothing to you anymore
blood stains on the wall with disfigured forms / end me
