Linoleum lyrics Pain Of Salvation

Linoleum

She keeps the world at bay
With walls built to stand come what may
And when the corners on this bay, they held on 'til today
She would hold her own
Running all alone
Ridding her of every grain
To stay in control

But now
She cries
Alive

Suddenly she is down on all four
And the walls will support her no more
Cries her eyes out like never before
Onto this linoleum
You're bottled up and stored

She's won every war
And when she's out that door
She will push ahead of you
Frowning at the poor
She would move so fast not to end up last
Aiming for the finish line
To smile at those she passed

But now
She cries
Alive

Suddenly she is down on all four
And the walls will support her no more
Cries her eyes out like never before
Onto this linoleum
You're bottled up.. And stored

And sometimes
Ooh, just sometimes
That's really all it takes
A hand on your shoulder
Then she breaks

(Sometimes that's really all it takes)
Yes then
(A word of kindness and she breaks)
She breaks
(And then the sum of damage done)
Well she breaks
(Is out on stained linoleum)
She breaks

(Sometimes that's really all it takes)
She breaks
(A gentle touch and then she breaks)
She breaks
(to see the sum of damage done)
She breaks
(In this linoleum)
Oh, she breaks

(Sometimes that's really all it takes)
Oh, she breaks
(A word, a touch and then we break)
Ooh, she breaks
(And all this world's linoleum)
She breaks
(Can hold the sum of damage done)
Done
Done
Done
Done

Itsy bitsy Spider
Climbed the water spout
(She's becoming her last casualty)
Down came the rain
And it wash the spider out
(If she weeps then at last she'll be free)

Now she stays on the ground
So she'll never fall
See she would rather drown
Than lose control
