I've been holding my breath and I've been waitin' so long
This subtle pain in my head can't find the words to a song
And when the telephone rings, just let it ring till the end
If I could get there by spring, if I could just stand my friends
And it frames the past, but I can't tie it with a bow
But it starts so fast and moves silent and slow
See it through Melinda
All we offer up to you Melinda
To know you have a thousand shoulders to cry on
And hands to help you from the bed that you lie on
White noise dreams, white noise lies, white noise alibis
And word travels fast, in this dog-tired town
And those fingers that tap, the most unbearable sound
Water still drips from the tap (A poison potion of sorts)
Though it's been idle for days (It drips with remorse)
Track 4 of "Do the Collapse" (I lost my grip on hope)
Has been on constant replay
I found the sound of hell pushed from an angel's lungs
Savours the taste of blood on the back of your tongue
See it through Melinda
All we offer up to you Melinda
To know you have a thousand shoulders to cry on
And hands to help you from the bed that you lie on
White noise dreams, white noise lies, white noise alibis
May sound funny but it's the only way
I get through every day and back to do it again
It rained on Monday in a focus game
Like I could write my name on the head of a pin
On the head of a pin
Through Melinda, through Melinda, through Melinda
See it through Melinda
All we offer up to you Melinda
To know you have a thousand shoulders to cry on
And hands to help you from the bed that you lie on
White noise dreams, white noise lies, white noise alibis
Don't even let them see you cry
Don't even let them as you why
Don't even let them... No
