Quiet the Mind - IAMX

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

Sometimes I can taste my death

Like a candy bar

So sweet and complete

As infinity takes me

This fool’s end

I create to keep that dog in my bearable door

I made hologram

In my egocentric universe of…

You’re alive

But you know that the wire

Under you is bending

And the truth is always telling you to be

Immune to everything

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

Hold back the fear

Hold back the darkness

Hold back the melancholy

Hold back the melancholy

It’s a crime
