Cannon Fodder Songtext
von 156/Silence

You said enough to seal me off.
I′m piling up the negatives approaching in.
When you're out on your own inside, dancing in the dead of night,
will you honor your offer like I would
have honored the way you breathe me in?

You never fail to find the flaws in me.
You′re right.
No one said I'd sing songs of solace and so what?
I'm better off with less in front of me.
So long as I can keep the past inside this cage for now.

The chemicals releasing.
These chemicals don′t fucking release me now.

And it′s excessive how I keep you above them all.
As if the rest were all lesser versions bound to flaw.
Lesser words have entered thoughts.
Call me an ingrate.
I could be the worst of all.
I could be dead weight.


You never fail to find the flaws in me.
You're right.
No one said I′d sing songs of solace and so what?
I'm better off with less in front of me.
So long as I can keep the past inside this cage for now.

For now I wonder without you beneath my wing.
I wear your weathered emotions within me.
Bring every opposed entry.
Exit across the way.
For now my friends don′t believe me that I'm okay.
My friends don′t believe me that I'm okay.
My friends don't believe me that I′m okay.
My friends don′t believe me that I'm okay.
I don′t believe myself.

But I blame myself.
The chemicals release.
I blame myself for this.
I'll blame myself again.


I′ll wipe you out of my memories.
Your face, I can't forget or flee.
You follow me.
Your haunting gaze.
It tears at the fabric of my being.
Happiness, I won′t attain at all.
(I blame myself now)
I burned my bridges as if I intended their fall.
