You're a dark cloud on the horizon
The rain drops on my head
You brighten my day in the darkest way
But the sun will come again

You left before things beginning
And now your gone again

You can say what you'd like
But we both know where it stands
You told me what you wanted
I gave you what I had

Can you tell me with honesty
You lost your faith in man

I don't know why you're doing this
I guess its just got to be done
Now it's time to hit the road
Now that you've had your fun

It was a day like any other
But that quickly changed
You brighten my day in the darkest way
I guess it's all the same

Another day is on the way
The light will come again

If you wanna lose weight, go ahead
You can eat your problems
If you wanna tempt fate, go ahead
You can eat your lies
As bitter as they are
As poison as they come
Whatever it takes to survive.

Tell me what you see
When the lights are out
And it was only you and me
Tell me what did you see
When you looked into my eyes

Keeping above water
But I don't know how to float
Now my worlds flooding
And I don't have a boat

Tell me the truth like you used to
Tell me what's changed since I last knew you
Whats happened to my memories?
They're not mine
I must be someone else
I don't recognize that man
When I face my reflected self

Keep me above water
If you got an extra hand
My worlds freezing
And I don't have a coat

What's happened to my life
It's caught up in these lies
Believe what you want to
What am I gonna say?
We can still have our own lives
Intersecting everyday

Keeping above water
Is the only way around
My worlds growing darker
I'll just take my time to drown

So... I guess I'll just walk away
We obviously aren't going to see eye to eye
So...I guess I'll just smile and say
"Well, **** me then."
Nods all around and that just goes to show
I guess I really don't know
So...******* then?
I think you're ideas are silly
And I could have done everything you've every done much better
I laugh when I think about the time I wasted for you
So...**** who then?
It's my fault but I have to make a living
Even though I'll be written off right away
I'll go and try anyway to make something of my day
I think I always knew I wasn't cut out for this
So...**** this then
It's just too easy to get into a groove
Just scraping by, and by the time it's over I'm way too tired
And that's why we'll rarely progress to anything better
So... **** us then
I don't think you respect yourself
I don't respect myself
I don't respect anything much
Respect is for the sunrising and setting and that's it
So...For God sake

She thought she thinks she knew me
what a joke.
I guess that's
the worst of the worst
of the best.
That's the Best part.
Because it's a game really
always has been, make no mistake.

I know you want to,
but what you got to understand
is I was never like you.
Not in that way. Not the way
You thought, wished
and wanted to believe.

I was I were I am
I felt bad, or so I made you think
For what?
Well God I don't know.
It will be you who feels it too
when we get to the end of the show.

To be honest,
I kind of like this.
Sitting on the bus trying to get home.

The drama burns
like a shot of alcohol,
but just sit back
wait for the soothing
And blurring of the
walls in the halls where you're bound to pass out for now.
If you can't keep up
then keep your eyes closed.
It will all be over soon enough
or so you tell yourself.

In reality we both know how it'll go
Now listen up at the start
or you'll never hear
the part everyone needs
to perceive the theme in full

You say you don't care
I've heard that line before
Knowledge is your stain
a lie to the truth is a lie all the same
So why don't you cave?
Do you got something to prove?
And why do you cry
when you sit alone
with no one to talk to?
Haven't you heard, silence is golden?

The pawn shop doesn't take metaphors
So tonight we both walk home on an empty belly
And an empty bottle
Let me tell you,

I've met so many people
just like us.
Star crossed and lost
that's where you get
when you try to use astronomy to navigate

You circumvent to lose the fact
you can't tell east
from west
from north
from hell

So sit quiet and keep your mouth still
If you can't comply I think we got a pill

So can you blame me?
I'm weak, I'm lost
I know these things

But you never will find me staring so blankly
Into red and blue lines all telling me where to go and where to be
I've burnt down every house that has offered me warmth
I have burnt up everyone who has ever offered me love

And now, here I am
Less then I was before
Drawing circles in the dirt
Dripping with worry
Dying to say one last thing to you

I know it will never be said
I know it will never be heard
But the trials of a man, of a child
Must continue on

I am sorry
I am scared
I have tried so hard
I tried, and I lost

Sick and brutal juvenile contempt
I love you
But that's nothing
I know

Nothing but a matter of life and death

So to anyone out there that still gives a ****
Goodbye
And to you
The only one
For finding what little there was left and draining it

Thank you.

Stay Human.

Shamelessly self-promoting
Only makes me
That much more
To all the people
I don't know

Delusion of grandeur
Help me out
When they don't
Illusions of my life
Just might

Senseless self-entrapment
Entitles me
To one call
On the phone
To hear a voice
That's not my own
