-------
I keep falling.../
In & out of lust, and/
My darlings are all demons/
Everyone’s got something to hide/
Except me, and my Monkees/
Eyes see nothing/
She doesn’t need you/
And my heart is a glass onion/
Crack; shard to the artery/
I’m a ****** mess/
I need someone to look after me/
Reopen the past, and get scarred again/
It’s your job to be soft on me/
My job to be hard on me/
Me me me... I am insignificant/
I drown so much that I became amphibious/
Splash; activate my aqualung/
If she was a daytripper, I was a triathlon/
And I can’t even swim yet/
They see me floating facedown/
And naturally assume that I’m dead/
Another day in the life/
The revolution’s at 9:00, & it’s 8:55/
And if I’m still alive when I’m 64/
It’ll be a penalty/
For all the time I spent getting ******
Metaphor? I’m a matador in a china shop/
Eyes see nothing ‘til the writing stops/
And fear is the mind killer/
Ears are the way in/
Blind is the right colour/
They don’t get it/
That’s when it makes the most sense/
I’ll throw a rootbeer in your fridge./
