LYRICS to STINKFIST
Something had to change
An un-deniable dilemma
Boredom's not a burden anyone should bear
Constant over-stimulation numbs yeah
And I wouldn't have it any other way

It's not enough
I need more
Nothing seems to satisfy, I said
I don't want it
I just need it
To breathe to feel to know I'm alive...

Finger deep within the borderline
Show me that you love me and
That we belong together
Relax, turn around and take my___

I can help you change
Tired moments into pleasure
Say the word and we'll be well upon our way
Bend and balance
Pain and comfort deep within you
Till you will not want me any other way

It's not enough
I need more
Nothing seems to satisfy, I said
I don't want it
I just need it
To breathe to feel to know I'm alive

Knuckle deep inside the borderline
This may hurt a little
But it's something you'll get used to
Relax, slip away

Something kinda sad about
The way things come out to be
Insensitive to everything
What became of subtlety

How can this mean anything to me
When I really don't feel a thing at all

I'll keep digging
Till I feel somthing

Elbow deep inside the borderline
Show me that you love me and
That we we belong together
Shoulder deep inside the borderline
Relax, turn around and take my hand.
