My name is Humpty
Everyone just dumpes on me
I know a secret most won't tell
I was cracked before I fell
There are monsters all around my dear
Let me make myself perfectly clear

They live on the land, they live on the sea
There's two for you, three for me

There's no escape, no place to hide
It's a slippery *****, you can feel the slide

If your not careful they'll get inside
That's when you'll wish you would of died

She makes everyone feel a whole spectrum of colors, too bad he's color blind.
The spiral staircase I chose to take,
I thought I was climbing out.
But every step I go up,
The air seems to grow heavier
And instead of clear night skies,
I see an unending vacuum of darkness.

I want someone to push and pull and climb by my side
But I cannot ask that sacrifice
I cannot need that
For these stairs are a bitter place
And no one wants to talk or taste

I will sew my lips together
And whisper my thoughts only to my needle
My heart will cry silver tears
But no one will know, no one will hear

I climb my stairs alone
She hated me because I loved her
*& I loved her because she hated me.

she opened the door
for everybody who knocked
just to see them go

You've got so much passion, I see it in your eyes. You just don't know where to place it.

You've been looking for that special place; that place where you belong without even trying to.  You're ready to leave, you've mustered all the courage you need, you just don't know where that place is.

***** to stay stuck, huh?
