Unconscious Choices - SCAN

Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh why can't you Breathe harder And try to live Cause I don't know what I'd do without you Oh why can't you Breathe clearer And try to live Cause I don't know what I'd do my dear I've woken up a thousand times And everyday I've lived my life Stupid to think that words don't mean what they do anymore Cause what they say does not describe you And now she lays in her bed unconscious And now you talk about how she had problems Can't you see that you're the ones who caused them And she doesn't see the world like it sees her And she doesn't see the world like it sees her Ooh Oh-oh Ooh Oh why can't you breathe harder And try to live Cause I don't know what I'd do without you Oh why can't you breathe clearer And try to live Cause I don't know what I'd do my dear And now she lays in her bed unconscious And now you talk about how she had problems Can't you see that we're the ones who caused them And she doesn't see the world like it sees her And she doesn't see the world like it sees her We say we're strong But strong's impossible When the world's on top of you I'd have been glad To help if you needed it But I should've seen it from a mile away From a mile away From a mile away From a mile away And now she lays in her bed unconscious And now you talk about how she had problems You know we could've been the ones who solved them And she doesn't see the world like it sees her And she'll never see the world like it saw her

No matter what I do No matter how I move I'm caught in your clutches Second fiddle to your tune I'm told you're protection In the name of good health But if your big idea Is to drive that spear in my spine I can protect myself (Unconscious, unconscious...) No time in the unconscious No rhythms, whys, or wherefores The symptom's imperative Daemons knocking on my core You're a chile' of the voodoo You put a spell on me Made me wear that skin of ambivalence Dropping logic bombs like it's World War 3 You weigh me down You weigh me down You do You weigh me down As if there's nothing I can do No evidence of anger No evidence of rage Am I a serial emotion killer Well schooled from a young age? Is it a reservoir of sadness Or a mountain of pain I'm gonna mine this mind Dive inside Terrified but I'm starting again You weigh me down You weigh me down You do You weigh me down And now I'm really on to you "Back sprain or strain, tennis elbow One leg shorter than the other, weak abdominal muscles Shooting pains, spinal disorders Muscle pull, even sciatica..." I'm watching you Steering my attention Don't expect me to be good And let the games begin! (Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes) "I can use my imagination and Think of the unconscious as the basement of my mind" No matter what it takes No more for goodist sake I'm done with perfection And the mess it makes Gonna weigh me down Gonna weigh me down No more No longer physical This shit's psychological So I'm learning your logic Wish I'd learned it at school Woh-oh-oh-oh, Going way down Going way down For good For good For good For good For good "Lose my mind and come to my senses" "Lose my mind and come to my senses" "Lose my mind and come to my senses" "Lose my mind and come to my senses" (Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes) "I can use my imagination and Think of the unconscious as the basement of my mind"

Where does the border lie Separating this life from the next It's in the angels cries Where you find all the lies to contest (release) I try but I can't breathe Unconscious thoughts I see are suffocating me (release) This pain is all I know And while it eats me away I just can't let it go It's been so long I've known that something wrong has grown inside you Has right been wrong Because I'm left here just like you Devil in disguise He deceives as we try to relate 'Cause in our tortured minds Are the prisons that we can't escape (release) I try but I can't breathe Unconscious thoughts I see are suffocating me (release) This pain is all I know And while it eats me away I just can't let it go All hope is gone Because my indiscretions can't deny you My life is wronged By damage only you can do I walk the line That somebody has made for me The sands of time Still shift beneath my feet I've been awaiting a sign That somebody will rescue me I'll glorify Anybody that sets me free It's been so long I've known that something wrong has grown inside you Has right been wrong Because I'm left here like you All hope is gone Because my indiscretions can't deny you My life is wronged By damage only you can do
