Lyrics
Acrylic
It could take a lifetime in the right mind to sing a sad, sad song
While it only takes a moment for something to go wrong...deadly wrong
And it?s not enough to notice, not enough to care.
If you never put your arms out, in truth you?ll never share.
So beware, if you hold that face it?ll freeze and you?ll stare...forever.
?Cause you don?t see through:
I can?t believe it.
Won?t you come see through the acrylic?
You can break a disc into pieces but the pieces still belong.
A stereo plastic will be missed but in the end we?ll provide the song.
?Cause you don?t see through:
I can?t believe it.
Won?t you come see through the acrylic?
And you don?t see, won?t breathe, can?t bleed.
Won?t you come and free me from the acrylic?
