IAMX - Quiet the Mind

There was light before the rain began
And there was hope behind the suffering joke
Lies come, lies they go, even the sun is tired
Under the surfaces there is a benevolent drone
Do you feel it?

So brutal when the words are on the tip of your tongue
So strange when your tired eyes won’t shut your brain down

Hold back the melancholy
Hold back the fear
Darling, it’s a crime
Hold back the fear
Hold back the melancholy
It’s a crime

Quiet the mind

Sometimes I can taste my death like a candy bar
So sweet and complete as infinity takes me
(before that)
I create to keep that dog at my bearable door
I’m a hologram in my egocentric universum

You’re alive but you know that the wire under you is bending
And the truth is only tending to be immune to everything

Hold back the melancholy
Hold back the fear
Darling, that’s a crime
Hold back the fear
Hold back the melancholy
It’s a crime

Quiet the mind

Hold back the fear
Hold back the darkness
Hold back the melancholy
Hold back the melancholy
It’s a crime

Quiet the mind
