Linoleum Songtext / Lyric

She keeps the world at bay

With walls built to stand come what may

And with that coldness on display they held until today

She would hold her own

Running all alone

Ridding her road of every grain to stay in control



But now

She cries

ALIVE



Suddenly she is down on all four

And the walls will support her no more

Cries her eyes out like never before

Onto this LINOLEUM

The bottled up and stored






She's won every war

And when she's out that door

She will push ahead of you

Frowning at the poor

She would move so fast

Not to end up last

Aiming for the finish line

To smile at those she passed



But now

She cries

ALIVE



Suddenly she is down on all four

And the walls will support her no more

Cries her eyes out like never before

Onto this LINOLEUM

The bottled up and stored



And sometimes

Oh, just sometimes

That's really all it takes:

A hand on her shoulder

And then

She breaks



Sometimes that's really all it takes:

A word of kindness and she breaks

And then the sum of damage done

Spills out on stale LINOLEUM



Sometimes that's really all it takes:

A gentle touch and then she breaks

To see the sum of damage done

Stain this LINOLEUM



Sometimes hat's really all it takes:

A word or touch and then we break

And all this world's LINOLEUM can't hold the sum of damage



Done



She's becoming her last casualty

If she breaks then at least she'll be free

But she keeps it together once more

And runs another day

To fight another war



Itsy bitsy spider

Climbed the water spout

Down came the rain and washed the spider out

Now she stays on the ground

So she'll never fall

See, she would rather drown than lose CONTROL
