lyrics

Should we let this slip
While it's easier to stop?
Should we lay this down
With nothing more on top?

So nothing is moving
Moving beneath your fingertips

Would you leave this to dust?
Throw it out with the waste
Would you lay you down?
Lose the memory of this taste
With another's full embrace

So nothing is moving, moving
Moving beneath your feet
Nothing is moving, moving
Moving beneath your skin

Well it's simple enough to tease
When you've got nothing to give
But the taking over
Brings down heavy boulders
The weight of simple things
Where you can keep me pinned

Under your satisfaction
Under your satisfaction
Am I your satisfaction?

Well you can love and kiss your papier-mâché
She can be your fool, your sickness, your spirits, your razor blade
I could lose it all, I could give it up,
But you don't want me to change
So I will walk away
If you could just loosen these chains
Would you please loosen these chains?

Let me out
Out of your satisfaction

So nothing is moving, moving
Moving beneath our feet
Nothing is moving, moving
Moving beneath your kiss
