Tragedy

Somewhere you hadn't been
might be where you could waste away,
consciously take the same
time for needed deep regret,
Make way for incoming
vehicles and cross to victory,
.. . So, no one keeps time
with the clock, remember that
you saw it coming, its only
necessary... to get away from those
**** cars 'ya know,
Whiskey for the road is right
there and the bag is under
the table.... you'd only know
how to get them if you were human,
This town will burn down
and all around will be torn apart,
it's probably not good to
drink and drive... 'ya know?

Quit

Quit, this is not for you,
hurry and do the other thing,
Oh? That didn't go so well?
Well, quit... while you still can,
I can't remember the number
of times this has been said to me,
Quit, quit, quit!
But why, though....

You

I want to see the end,
but I'm affraid to walk the road,
I feel like something is missing
from within me to keep me afloat,
Disturbances in the air are the
breeze of despair,
This song is stuck in my head - it
cannot be fair,
Have I been judging people by what they
have known and should have I
been judging by what they do not?
The meaning I'm losing, it's hard
to resist,
this simple temptation to merely
exist.

Reaction

Nothing else matters,
you cry in your sleep,
the tears I've collected
I bury them deep,
I haven't denied it's the
feeling I chase,
I feel pins and needles - tomorrow
I'll waste,
Who cares if the sun is a
light year away,
or hovering over too close -
you could say,
I mustn't aspire to every desire,
sarcastic reaction to
self-satisfaction.

School

I need time to see,
I've got places to be,
to split is to die
and to die is to split,
I need time for me,
I've got nothing to see,
to bleed is to share
and to share is to bleed,
Focus,
      you've been here before,
        do not resist...
Taste it,
      you've agreed to it already,
        no recess....

Say

Let go of the hate,
in hours so late,
it's evil to know and
pretend it's not so,
The grave has been dug,
the coffin composed,
you don't want to rush
to conclusions just yet,
I bet, I bet, you know
it is wet,
keep eyes on the road
for you are in debt,
The snow will be melted
with a roll of the dice,
keep eyes on the road
and obey the advice.

Sleep

How does it feel, how does it feel,
I'd really want to know
the reasons to kneel,
Is it because you know my fate,
or is it late for second date?
However you answer, I'd want
you to know,
I'm ready to sing you "I told
you so",
'cuz pain is elusive when you
press on the keys,
but it's time to let go
and to sleep with the weeds.
