[00:00.64](Premeditate!) [00:04.24]I can't see far past the present [00:06.88]And fortune-telling's not my profession but I can see the crystal ball, [00:12.99]formed out of the water. [00:15.66]Through it, I can see it all. [00:19.26]When they ask you, what are you hiding from: [00:24.27]All of the others in the way! [00:27.94]And on this wall: a different reflection, [00:32.69]I can recall it's not the same face. [00:38.90]Quick! Pull this rope. [00:43.41]Wash your hands of this. [00:48.20]It's the dark reflecting. [00:52.62]Images reflecting, and you're full of it. [00:58.96]When all our thoughts are dirty, can we get them clean? [01:06.08]Hold our heads under the water, let our eyes roll back and look deep. [01:11.50]Deep into our skulls. [01:13.48]Is there anything worth keeping? [01:16.83]When they ask you, what are you hiding from: [01:21.48]All of the others in the way! [01:24.85](The sink is full, the bubbles rise and stare at me like spider eyes.) [01:25.77]And on this wall: a different reflection, [01:30.21]I can recall it's not the same face. [01:43.68]When nothing else will hold me up, broken tiles on the bathroom floor will have to do. [01:50.52]If nothing else can pull me through. [01:52.18]I just can't remember! Why can't I remember? [01:56.51]When's the first time I looked in the mirror and said "I hope I die"? [02:05.68]I know you keep pretending. [02:15.84]Let me be the same! Let me be this way! [02:27.38]I know you keep pretending. [02:38.07]Let me be the same! Let me be this way!
