Pain of Salvation - Linoleum Lyrics | FAST DOWNLOAD
Linoleum
She keeps the world at bay
With walls built to stand come-what-may
And with that coldness on display they held until today
She would hold her own
Running all alone
Ridding her road of every grain to stay in control
But now she cries, alive
Suddenly she is down on all four
And the walls will support her no more
Cries her eyes out like never before
Onto this linoleum
The bottled up and stored
She's won every war
And when she's out that door
She will push ahead of you, frowning at the poor
She would move so fast
Not to end up last
Aiming for the finish line to smile at those she'd passed
But now she cries, alive
Suddenly she is down on all four
And the walls will support her no more
Cries her eyes out like never before
Onto this linoleum
The bottled up and stored
And sometimes, oh just sometimes
That's really all it takes
A hand on her shoulder, and then she breaks
Sometimes that's really all it takes
A word of kindness and she breaks
And then the sum of damage done spills out on stale linoleum
Sometimes that's really all it takes
A gentle touch and then she breaks
To see the sum of damage done stain this linoleum
Sometimes that's really all it takes
A word or touch and then we break
And all this world's linoleum can't hold the sum of damage done
She's becoming her last casualty
If she breaks then at last she'll be free
But she keeps it together once more
And runs another day to fight another war
Itsy bitsy spider, climbed the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Now she stays on the ground, so she'll never fall
See, she would rather drown than lose control
!
