One need only look to the four winds to find four frowns; eight sad eyes straining to see through stained glass tears. The man said "I die daily" but he didn't have a constant stream of status updates to maintain. I define myself daily. Being special has thus far not protected me from the unbearable weight of today. All of the analog cigarettes and old fashioned daydreams in the world cannot save me now. If I'm not seen am I really here? Heavy hearts and weary heads reside respectively in the chests and on the necks of everyone I encounter. The gas station attendant feels empty and is bereft of a sense of irony. The world ends not with bang OR whimper, but with a deep and baleful sigh... with a deep and baleful sigh... with a deep and baleful...
I feel like I'm breaking, No, I've been broken, I feel like I'm slipping, No, I've already fallen, I feel like I'm dying, No, I'm already dead inside, I feel like crying, No, These tears are already dry.
Even though it has been ages since we've talked I know I got to you I seeped under your skin And I still reside there Quietly waiting... For you to feel that itch again If you would just scratch You could still feel me
