Left Behind Lyrics

ive known faces that hav disappeared in time
find me wrapped in glass and slowly soaked in lime
all my friends have pictures meant to make you cry
ive seen this and what ive what i've done done to calcify

(i ignore you)
as i close my eyes, i feel it all slipping away
(i contort you)
we all got left behind, we let it all slip away

i cant stand to see your thalidomide robot face
dont even try it! you had to be a liar just to
infiltrate me- im still drowning

(i ignore you)
as i close my eyes, i feel it all slipping away
(i contort you)
we all got let behind, we let it all slip away

take...this...away / take..this..away..
i can feel it on my mouth
i can taste you on my fingers
i can hear you like the holy ghost
and kill you if you get too close
(i ignore you) / as i close my eyes, i feel it all slipping away
(i contort you)
we all got left behind, we let it all slip away

This is a song about Corey when he was homeless. He made so many friends and trusted them with life.. he shared space and everything. And now when he have a house and everything the old faces just dissapears.

In my view,(do not take this litterally, this is a personal view, and is only to be read with an open mind) this song is about how we all just watch life go by. Some people who may be part of our lives probably bring us to the point where life is no longer a thrill, but a kill.

This songs about the rapture? Well FUCK GOD. FUCK the rapture. And fuck anyone thinking they are going to scare me with their childish fairy tale of END TIMES because everyone has an END TIMES so no one can say they TOLD YOU SO when you do EVENTUALLY die. I hate you religious mother fuckers. Fuck you.

@Necronic its not about the rapture you idiot. its about homlessness

Just wanted to make a note on thalidomide. It's a fucked up drug. Anyway, the song talks about "thalidomide robot face." Thalidomide can cause nerver damage. Some side effects can eventually cause defects in the face and eyes. A face will look emotionless and numb . . . lazy eyes too. Basically look like a robot.
