Don't know what‘s the matter with me now i haven't eaten in a week, find myself unable to manage past the killspeak of social cues and conventions that i used to step over with such ease For the first time For the first time i feel the weight of this disease this paralysis that seeps into my bones leaves me helpless and alone left to purchase my comfort from a billboard or a payphone cant find my way home now don’t know what i belive anymore, don’t know what, i believe i need to remember how to breathe need to steep my soul in something more than suicide maybe I'm crazy maybe i'm dead maybe i’m just grossly underfed yeah maybe its all inside my head but Most of all i think i'm terrified that you might that you might that you might be right right right right right right now don't feel like lifting my weary head lifting this heavy pen to (w)right(e) now don't feel much like pouring more empty breath from my skull think i'll kill the rest of this day in bed but tomorrow i am sure to think how lucky i am that i can't control my brain-stem as deftly as my pen cause if i had my way i wouldn't have woken up today but as i’m still here yeah I might as well greet fear with a sm - -i'll(e) tell you that i've forgotten how to feel tell you nothing seems real anymore still cant force down a meal but i think Most of all i'm simply terrified that you might that you might that you might be right

Welcome to the Waiting room, the Waiting life. Entertained away inside an hourglass, and our skulls are seen so clearly through the puddles of flesh, that evaporate so very fast (rest in my distraction and the journey will be over, we'll be there before you even know your traveling). Laugh hard, you're only here for a moment Live hard, you're gonna die today Laugh hard before the curtain closes, and this is all we're left to say... It's over It's over.

You will never see me only who I've been and tomorrow I will wash that all away I'll wash it down the drain.

Ride this train of the pounding hours as the day consumes and the light devours my soul before my eyes and won’t you ride with me a while longer as your light my friend is a little stronger than mine will ever be And I wonder if I can pour my soul out of this pen And still hold on (and still hold on) cause if I cannot keep my place on this train or make its pace It keeps movin’ on (keeps movin’ on) Watch the day as it bleeds the light as the severed sky drip the ink black night into my open and willing veins I’m feeling good but it’s bound to fade as the edge of the razor blade is never so far -------- (yeah it’s never so far) away And I wonder if I can pour my soul out of this pen And still hold on (and still hold on) cause if I cannot keep my place on this train or make its pace It keeps movin’ on (keeps movin’ on) bleedin’ Lord (we’re) bleedin’ Lord I’m older now but it’s hard to say if I’ve learned anything along the way Or just laid a trail of bodies down Sweat slave driven under beatin’ sun ground into the earth until your course is run and your body melts back into dust But at the end of all these days we all bleedin’ but a different phrase of the same old song we keep bleedin’ on bleedin’ Lord (we’re) bleedin’ Lord (x4) (repeat until you die)

L'Amour Fou 04:24
When god was a boy, and everything was boring he never dreamed that his love would get so big, but it leaped out of his heart like a dancer before the moon had time to wink Now it spreads across the world like a cancer, it's crawling up the walls and his love has the chances of a blind man spinning on a high-wire with his fingers in his ears! But as long as the moon is just a powdered balloon, I'll be a fool in the name of music and we can party in the name of love!

Come Never 06:24
It seems that I have grown far too fond of you and flowered far too soon For a heart that could never contain mine and will surely break it in two And I know it’s been said many times that a heart cannot change Still I’m chasing the sun down But when you kiss me, (and) so clearly say that you never could fall in love with me I ’ m s t i l l h o p i n g That tomorrow brings never around. I fear that my life’s but a series of fantasies That I’ve fooled even myself into believing And I’ve done it so well That I can no longer tell what’s real And what I simply wish That I could really feel for you ‘cause I don’t know that I have ever really even been in love when push comes out to shove my self toward the truth of this dream built for two this silly dream that I’ve fashioned ‘round you I worry that I may be incapable of loving at all Though I let that weight fall on you I know that a heart that wants something (as mine does) May fashion it from air Though nothing ever really w a s t h e r e Hoping blindly for never To grow into forever Hoping someday that never will come
