Severity - Lyrics - Idiot Stare

I am the only one Who knows exactly what you've done Descending far below The darkest places that I'd ever go And now most every night A voice in pain that finds me alone And in so many ways We both hide weapons of our own The books are burning Per this severity The snake is coiling Why should I have to lie? My life is haunted by your secret How you said it's the only one you regret There's something scary, what you want me to do When they come looking for you Writhing, God, it's like a bee sting In the eardrum, then you start screaming There's something scary, I know you're feeling it too When they come looking for you Were you always scared? Licking the sharp blade of death Either way, it's changed I'm no longer one of the trusted You never had to run very far And now it seems like you're almost bragging It's you, it's me, publicity makes three We've all seen it on TV The books are burning Per this severity The snake is coiling Why should I have to lie? My life is haunted by your secret How you said it's the only one you regret There's something scary, what you want me to do When they come looking for you Writhing, God, it's like a bee sting In the mirror, then you start screaming There's something scary, I know you're feeling it too When they come looking for you And they'll come looking for you One day, when you're much older Locked away, hidden from everyone You'll be forgotten, oh, you know that it's true I'll still be thinking of you
