i watch you walk down the sidewalk
and you disappear in the fog
disappeared in the fog

coming to conclusions in my head
you were just laying in my bed
you were in my bed

no one seems to focus much
an eruption from one soft touch
one soft, soft touch

i realize it might be all on me
it was on you but now it's blinding me
now it's blinding me

do you wanna die?
see everyone you've lost,
wash away tears with another good cry?
you walk around
with a monkey on your back
and the chip on your shoulder
has a formed a stubborn crack
that never seems to spread

it makes me cry
and i don't know why
sitting and staring
wishing i was a fly

buzzing around
up, down and down
i can't remember a thing
i can't hear a sound

i just want to take your clothes off
see you lying there in the dim light
i love it when you speak but please
let me just absorb this surreal sight

took you home with no intentions
you drew close, whispering sadness
i told you that i liked you and you were worth it
like nothing i've ever experienced on this earth and
i think i feel something

it's the human dream
the "isn't what it seems"
the bottom, the underneath
the top and the below the beneath

"the future is ******* freaky",
i say to myself as i'm lying and leaking
as the years have gone by
i've done nothing, my oh my
i don't know what i plan on doing
i have no idea where i'm going
so just hold me close
i think i need a stronger rope
but you outwit that thought tonight

my thoughts take me to weird places
weird faces and distorted pictures of distorted places
i've never been and probably won't ever go to
you smile because you know it's the truth
unless we pick up now and forget everything
we're gonna be stuck in this cave with our aching
and that's no way to live, no, not at all
i thought you would be there when i'd fall
but you only ever knew how to play hardball
but please ease up and answer me when i call

feed the beast and straighten the sheets.
feel the beat and wipe the blood with your sleeve.
time drips while you're taking slow sips.
you've got me comfortably sick. no buts, ands or ifs.

my life is flashing on the far wall.
i see all the times i'd get up after i'd fall.
you're still there, but you don't say anything.
i get scared, because i don't know anything.
