lyrics

• Verse 1
I’m trapped here lying in my bed. I can not breathe these chains are so tight. I’ll never escape until the end. A prisoner of self screaming into the night.

• Verse 2
Did you pick her up when she fell down? Did you hold her close enough? Is that why she slit her wrists in the dead of night, without you? Now she haunts your mind and your dreams and your, every thought.

• Chorus
No escape, no remorse, these voices have set me on my course. No air to breathe, no light to see, these walls are closing in on me.
Once you play the game, you’ll never be the same. When you turn to blame, you’ll feel not but shame.

• Verse 3
The knife is cutting through me, my life is flowing away. The dark reaches out to heal me, as my mind is slipping away.

• Verse 4
Crucifixion is the name of the game and there’s no one left here but you to blame. You didn’t hold her close enough. You didn’t pick her up when she fell down and now she haunts your mind and your dreams and your every thought.

Transmissions
by SN-A

This is a new side project of X Marks the Pedwalk, called SN-A. It is a departure from a lot of the dance floor electronic industrial that I enjoy, but sometimes you need to relax. Great album! [U-D-R]
