Skeptic ~~~ Collaboration with The Amazing Frank Ruland

"Wish in one hand and **** in the other."

Your disappointments leave me smothered!

Wake up tomorrow - why even bother?!

I'm just a drunk like my ******* father!

You say there's hope, but it's a ghost

A dream you wish to see at the most

I guess you can call me, "Skeptic"

Not paranoid - just ******* sick

Hell on Earth seems to be dawning quick!

 

Just a simple wish upon a star

You're abuse has gone too far

I'll just sleep off all the scars

Another shot of whiskey in my glass

Getting tipsy before I kick your ***

I just need to calm myself at long last

My dreams are filled with too many images of you

You're the past and I know that we're through

I guess all these demons will just have to do

 

Keep coming back, because I'm a ***** for more

I must be a ********* at the ******* core

Ptolemy - what's wrong with our souls?!

We look past the stars to gaze at black holes!

I don't believe and I can never be deceived,

for this paranoia permits no bit of reprieve

I guess everything is just as it seems -

idealized, and finalized - know what I mean?!

 

I know returning to you will only cause me pain

I'm no Queen but you're the King that reigns

As a lowly peasant, I know I must refrain

But there is just something that draws me to you

The stars have predicted the truth

And I know there's nothing I can do

You've moved on, I keep thinking about the past

I know the heartache cannot be surpassed

I'm just sorry that I ever asked

 

For my final ******* act the stage has just been set:

Dead man walking, but I don't have one regret

Is it the psychosis in my brain

or the necrosis in my veins?

Either ******* way, I've never been more sane

Head on to heartbreak - let romantics rot

Pardon this dead cat, but out of everything I've taught,

why was reciprocity the one you forgot?

If there's a cure for bad blood, you can keep it

Your shit's been sewn so now it's time to reap it
