lyrics

Windowpane
(Kerwell/Nelson/Taugner)

You cover me up with your windowpane,
You cover me up with ice.
The touch of your twisted tongue on mine,
Was nothing but death disguised.
I move across your crawling floor,
You sand the boards with time.
Nowhere can I find a smile,
They're buried and left behind.

I don’t know what I'm doing here.
The world of yours is filled with fear.

You hold me back with your windowpane,
I cannot break away.
What keeps me moving toward your face,
Is the fear that I will fade.
You lay me down in a lie of love,
And twist me up in hate.
Coming around with you ashtray eyes,
Your gifts are false and late.

I don’t know what I'm doing here.
The world of yours is filled with fear.
I'd like to take a walk outside,
And leave your petty lie.

Kiss it goodbye.

You blind all, you wreak all, you tear it in half.
You tear it in half.

The glamour and lights wreck the walls,
With pounding sounds of hell.
The bottle you hold is a worthless prize,
I fell for an empty shell.
I crawl right out of your shabby house,
The windows barred from light.
Burn the drape, it's a clear outside,
Your pain was a false disguise.

I step outside to clear my mind.
And now I breathe the clean sky.
I shut the window to turn away.
I know I left nothing behind.

Nothing behind.
