Oh, woe is me!
Oh, woe is me!
No one showed for up the pity party
How awful it is to feel this lonely
When your tongue is a twist
And your body is so heavy
Oh, woe is me!
Oh, woe is me!
No one showed up for the pity party
Your lungs are weak
It's too hard to breathe
Oh, woe is me!
Oh, woe is me!
No one showed up for the pity party
Slowly caving in
With no light for you to see
Oh, woe is me!
Oh, woe is me!
No one showed up the for the pity party

Broken bones and thoughts unleading
Definitions hold no true meaning
Wasted promise and hearts left bleeding
Weary eyes as it slows its beating

A turn of phrase in a darkened room
Hot tears rain down like a monsoon
Poisoned kisses leave lips in ruin
And a helpless body in a blanket cacoon

I am strong
So strong and free
I am fast
Watch my feet carry me
Through woods and roads
Black paved dreams
As I push myself further
And as my lungs scream
But my legs keep moving
And it's all I need
To prove that I'm the best
The best that I can be
I'm pushing my boundaries
I'm breaking my walls
I've learned to pick myself up
Whenever I fall

I weep and weep
My heart, it cries
A long and sullen lullaby
That puts to sleep all happiness
And leaves my world a broken mess

I was told it can't rain all the time
But thurderstorms ravage my mind
Wind whips sweet memories
Into such dismal scenes
And lightening strikes at optimistic ideas
Leaving burnt tree stumps of thoughts
But I was told that it can't rain all the time

I watched as the son and mother walked up to the gastation
Dressed in goodwill clothing
The mother pulls out a bag and shows the boy what to look for
Cigarette butts in the trash can ashtrays

He was only three or four
Not old enough to know any better
But I'm sure that will be the first real memory of his mother
And he will loathe it as he will loathe her

I swayed to the sound of nostalgia
As it sank into my bones
Then washed away my worries
And brought me memories of home

I’ve been gone for far to long
And I know I’ve missed it there
But in the morning, when I wake
I’ll be lost again somewhere

And it happens far too often
That I’m lost and gone
But I know I’m stuck to live a life
That plays to the same sad song

However, I do not seek your pity
Please send it far from me
I do what I do strictly for you
To live life happily

Time and time again I fear you'll leave
That what I try so hard to have was never meant to be
And though you say you love me
There's times I cannot not see
That what I feel for you, is what you feel for me

Fly to me and kiss my painted lips
And taste the dry red wine
Then stare into my hazel eyes
That in the moonlight shine

It seems far too long that you’ve been gone
And, my dear, I’ve needed you here
So sit and rest your weary feet
And sip gently at your beer

Tell me of your troubled days
That start from troubled nights
And I’ll listen to your problems
And I’ll try to kiss them right

I’ll pull you ever closer
As your hand trails down my spine
And whisper softly into your neck
That for tonight, again, you’re mine

And after the talk and drink are through
We’ll find ourselves in bed
Passionately tangled in each other
Showing words we’ve never said

Happiness is a dream
Of which I have not slept
There are only flashes of terror
When I lay down my head
My pulse begins to quicken
My heart slams in my chest
The nightmares tear me open
And rip me from my rest

First there comes the cold sweats
Followed by the screaming
I then choke on hysteria
With it’s invisible meaning
I claw from the back of my mind
Into the darkness of my room
But no one is there to numb the pain
That comes out with the moon

So even after my eyes open
The nightmares do not leave
The demons become more vivid
And they feast off of me
Sipping first at my black tar blood
For dessert, they save my soul
And with my tears I beg to them
If you take me, take me whole

Her stilettos stomp the concrete
Her eyes shine so bright
She's ready once again
She's is a lover of the night

As Lou Reed plays her hips swing
While holding her purse so tight
But she's not afraid of a single thing
She is a lover of the night

Pink lipstick stains on Marlboro cigarettes
She breathes in her Light
And lets the smoke out into the air
She is a lover of the night

Her red dress is her favorite
It shapes her body just right
No one would ever dare to believe
He is a lover of the night
