Dismemberment Plan Superpowers Lyrics

Superpowers Lyrics

I have seen the world's most beautiful women undress in ordinary solitude 

I have fallen asleep in the shift of distant satin 

I have watched the rich risk it all for 15 minutes in a Heathrow bathroom 

I have shuddered as an unseen mouth slid down my spine every night 



I have seized with the ice cold rage of a lover betrayed, half a million miles
away 

I have cried so hard for hours and not known why, I never do 

I've been knocked down flat by joy that makes my face pulse like a sugar high


I've been cornered by the screams of a body as it freed itself of its mind 



I guess you could call it superpowers 

but no one is going to save the world with what I've got 

an indigo light from silvery towers 

surrounded by rocks and stones as far as the eye can see 



I've been lost in a cold white space as an arrogant dream storms in from
another life 

I have felt the snaps of lines that bind us all to this world 

I have felt such unreal pain and not known what to do, it isn't mine 

I have stayed awake for weeks and slept for days... not one dream 



under low grey skies 

and a razored wind that tears at the walls
