The years have gone by, one by one
So much has been said, has been done
So much has hurt and so much has glowed
There's so much I've felt for you and told
So much has shifted, so much has changed
So many times, in love then estranged
But here we are, here I sit still
Looking to find more holes to fill

All the faces in the trees
They talk to me
They tell me things
I already know
But they won't tell me
Won't tell me
Won't tell me where to go

And, oh, I know
It's worse before it's better
It's worse than ever
And I don't know where to go
And so, and so, and so,

I'll try to pull this together
But I'm ****** if I do,
I'm ****** if I don't
You can chase me through these years
But I won't let you take me
I won't, I won't, I won't

My direction is lost, my focus is gone
This is going all so very wrong
I am blind, I am mute
I've got the gun, but no one to shoot
Hand me my noose
The screws are getting loose

And when loneliness steals
All I've ever known
When I've forgotten it all
When I've never grown
I stand there, stand there
I stand there, I'm all alone

And, oh, I know
It's worse before it's better
It's worse than ever
And I don't know where to go
And so, and so, and so,

Into the dark, into the ground
That is where I want to be found
Hand me my noose
And I'll look for an excuse
To lay myself down
For this is the season
Of my own worst treason
I need you….to say

"Oh, darling, I know
It's worse before it's better
It's worse than ever
But one day you'll know
On day I'll show you
Where to go
And so, and so, and so

Hand me your noose
And we'll call this a truce
Step back from the edge
Step down from that ledge
Drop the shovel, drop the gun
I promise you, I'll be the one.

And so, and so, and so
Don't leave me, don't go
I'll always love, you,
This you know."
And so…

Hand me my pen
Hand me my brush
I'll put this all out on paper
I'll go slow, I won't rush
I'll find my way through this maze
I'll find my way through this haze
It's been worse, worse than ever
But I'm finally ready to get better.

I wear such a pretty mask
But I'm a monster deep inside
If you only, only ask
I'll lift, lift, set it aside

I trust you, dear,
With all my heart
Hold my darkness near
This is where we start

Dig your fingers deep,
Dig into my soul
What you find, you can keep
I don't want to be whole

So, when you depart
Leave nothing behind
But my empty heart
And tears I can't find

Like a scar from the past
You're beautiful when healed
Skin knitting fast
Once blood has congealed
Is this what you wanted to reveal?
How you think, who you are, what you feel?
And do you love me still?

I am we
Our name is me
Time and again
He laughs and we sin
She cries and we bleed
They beg and I plead
"Look at me!"
Look at we.
We hurt and I seethe
Drown in jealousy
He loves, we hate
She twitches, I'm too late
We're long gone, he's on the line
She's broken, we're fine, we're fine
I am me
Our name is we

An invisible man sits on the corner street
Where busy shoes meet and greet
Soundless words fall from his lips,
Cold wind bites blistered fingertips
There is no story, he has no face
Eyes averted, quickened pace
He's not like you, this grimy man
He's got no future, got no plan
He's got no past, he's got no home
Just rests his head on brick and stone

Oh, how I love you, Insomnia, my sweet
How I sit and listen to every beat
Of my hollow heart in this darkest night
Waiting to be kissed by morning's light

Oh, how I love you, Paranoia, dear
How you make every noise so crystal clear
Until sleep is most assuredly out of reach
Not a wink, not a moment will it ever breach

Oh, how I love you, my ****** up mind
How you taunt me, torture me, love to remind
Of years gone past, of days ill spent
Of sorrow, of loss, of this slow descent
