When you live a lonely life
Even the days prefer the night

Keeping step to the hearts off beat
On the often empty streets

Hate fills the kingdom that's surveyed
The innocent turn their heads away

We've come to expect nothing less
From the King of Bitterness

A chess match using ghetto pawns
As the procession rolls along

Passing by in time to thumb the nose
The Emperor that wears no clothes

Mark it down and save the date
No way is there to escape

A bitter pill adds to the bitter edge
For the King of Bitterness

Spread the wealth and take a bite
Promised anything you like

If they would look they'd clearly see
That you were born of royalty

Click your ruby heals, there's something wrong
No way will you make it home

Remember what your mother said
About the King of Bitterness

You've been stuck and you have bled
To the King of Bitterness

Lay down now you sleepy head
Goodnight King of Bitterness

The coldness, in it creeps
nightmares, disturb my sleep
all is magnified without you

The heaviness, holding me
it's grip so menacing
lost is the sunlight I once knew

The darkness, settling in
fighting before it begins
not sure if I am strong enough

The silence, so loud inside
fearing, there's nowhere to hide
Is this what it's like without love?

I heard my name
upon whispers
within sighs
and wondered
if you'd remembered
the sadness of our
goodbyes

I felt a gentle touch
upon a breeze
within the night
and wondered
if you'd treasured
the love
in my eyes

I tasted a moment
upon your lips
within a kiss
and wondered
if you found pleasure
in us
as much as I

I inhaled a scent
upon a memory
within my mind
and wondered
if you'd surrender
to me
one more time
Did you hear me say that I love you
Did you hear me say until the very end
Well if you heard that I take it all back
You will never hear me say it again

Did you hear me say that you are precious
Did you hear me say you're all I need in life
Well now that I know everything about you girl
Let's just say it was a lie

Did you hear me say it in a moment of passion
Did you hear me say it out of ignorance
Well if it is I did you can believe on this
It will never again pass these lips

Did you hear me say we'd stay together
Did you hear me say until the bitter end
Well the bitter taste in my mouth I'm spitting out
And will never taste of it again
leave the lights on she said
i need to find a path wide open
see where my dreams are going

as she crawled into bed
folded the sheets into a kite
for a later flight

want you join me she said
holding out her hand
i took it on command

no way of knowing what comes next
as we both closed our eyes
and opened the sky
Uh Oh
I use quite frequently

Uh Oh
Words made just for me

I use them everyday
In all of my mistakes

Uh Oh
Proudly leads the way

Uh?
If you have no idea

Oh?
When your questioning

Whether put together
Or whether pulled apart

Uh Oh
Shows the moment where you are

I have a mathematical mind
everything is cause, effect,
close-all-loopholes
find the data, analyze, program
I have a mathematical mind that sees in angles
in the relationships between people
I see the lines and points of contact,
the widening of the eyes and the glancing touch,
how short someone's fingernails are
the marks around their mouth
I have a mathematical mind that sees in positive space
because negative space is a pointless area
and I do not need to exercise
extrapolational thinking, not in this school,
I have to give the answer that is expected
in order to get the reward I desire
there is no reward for a creative but wrong answer
and therefore being rebellious is illogical
I have a mathematical mind that knows how to please people
how to find their strong spots and praise them
how to find their weak spots and support and exploit
I know how to solve the problems of someone's heart
like a scalpel of pain
who can find a rational solution to an emotional problem
because in order to be happy,
you must follow certain steps
and take the logical course of action
that will lead you to your goal.
I have a mathematical mind,
and I know how to use it to find and
give rein to
emotional and philosophical reality-
because my mathematical mind has a preference
for **** subjects like psychology
and my mathematical mind
likes other people so much
that it is willing and able to manipulate them
in the best way possible-
all for the pleasure and enjoyment
of my mathematical mind.
I can’t

I accidentally injured myself

I fractured my motivation

You lie
You lie
That's all you do.

You lie
You lie
So I will never believe you.

You lie
You lie
The whole town knows.

You lie
You lie
At least you put on a good show.

You lie
You lie
So I don't want to see you.

If you lie
If you lie
I will break you in two.

Just wait
Just wait
The day will come.

When I,
Yes I,
Will finally be done.

Goodbye
Goodbye
You deserve this now.

Goodbye
Goodbye
Maybe, we can all be happier now.
