The Helix Song | Why Carry On? | Heaven or Hell | Twisting Through Windows | Pit of Love
The Helix Song
Spiralling downwards with no relent,
Tighten the coil, to slow the descent.
What's the point? Still reach the ground,
Still pass on through, go further down...
Right down deep, deepest depression,
People say 'smile' - Inappropriate expression.
Down through the land, come up into sea,
"There's plenty more fish", but no fish for me...
There must be a fish that could carry me up,
But I'll never meet her, 'cos I've got my luck.
Right down deep, deepest depression,
Being this way is not my intention.
I'd love to stop
I'd love to stop
I'd need love to stop.

Together for a while now, coming up on two years,
Now all my hopes are dashed, and all my fears...
are realised...
She left me for no reason, as far as I can see,
I don't think there is all that much wrong with me...
I feel I...
Have got no reason left to live,
But no real reasons to die,
But living is just pain,
And maybe death is just a lie...
I...
Loved her with my heart, my mind,
Now my core is gone, I'm just an empty rind...
You know...
Life is like a bowl of cherries - is it?
Seems like a toilet bowl - full of shit...
And so... I...
Have got no reason left to live,
But no real reasons to die,
And living is just pain,
And no-one really cares, so I...
I just carry on...

Look at me you used to see me,
Lying in the ashes, in the dust,
Now look at me 'cos only you can free me,
If I jump out you will catch me, I trust?
I look down at where I could land,
A long way down to flames I've had,
If you let me slip through your hands,
Perhaps dust and ashes aren't so bad?
Looking up, see where you'd take me,
It's outta sight, I'm sure it's great.
The trust inside me somehow makes me,
Shyly say, "How 'bout a date?"
A time of fear, go up or down?
I watch your face for any sorta sign.
My heart sinks as I watch you slowly frown,
A painful while, I slow down time...
Until..
(Fem voice): "No."
*crackle of flames*

I know a girl, I think she's really beautiful.
She disagrees and says she's not that pretty.
I know a girl, the way she is is wonderful.
She shakes her head, and says she'd treat me sh*tty.
But I don't believe her and I don't care,
'cos I'd be so happy if she'd just be there,
for me-eeee.
We've never met, I've never even heard her voice,
But she knows me, and I know the words she'd use.
I think meeting wouldn't much affect my choice,
She says she's bad, and that I would only lose.
But I don't believe her and I don't care,
'cos I'd be so happy if she'd just be there,
for me-eeee.

I think it's worth trying...
It's no worse than dying...
Dying...
Dying...

Oh, I'm scrabbling at the edges of the pit of love,
It's deep and there ain't no safety net.
You reach out to lend me a hand (in a glove),
But I slide down faster, the closer you get.
You can pull me with your beauty, but it only pulls me down,
You can stamp upon my fingers, I'll slide away without a sound.
I don't think that there is any way to get me out at all,
But if you jump in with me, you could catch me when I fall...
Catch me when I fall...
Catch me when I fa-all...
'cos I won't bounce.
Oh, there used to be spikes at the base of the pit,
You've filed them down but they're still there.
If you jump down, the spikes retract into their slits,
And a landing that's so easy is so rare.
Catch me...
Catch me...
Please...?
