Life.
Yeah, it gets me down.
It fucking knocks me ‘round till I’m left on the ground
Screaming out your name as if the gods themselves could bring you to me.
Like a child locked outta the house wandering the town
Too small to find their own way home but they can’t sit down
Or they’re done for.
I’m lost goddamnit.

Yeah I don’t know where I wanna go
I don’t know what I wanna do
At the end of the night I just wanna be with you
Feeling your skin under my fingers
Feeling your thoughts tear through my brain
Like the surgeon’s scalpel:
It’s sharp and cold
Though I know you’re the only thing that’s gunna save me
In the end

In the end this’s all I got
Ten fingers
Crooked glasses
And a tickin’ watch.
There’s no magic fix for my so called “life path”
They want me to perform the tricks – pullin’ responsibility outta a hat
Like its something they deserve from me.
Applaud now, mutha fuckers. You got what you paid for.
A circus freak in a tie selling you life lessons on the street corner for a dime bag.
Spendin’ twenty days in the constant hum of society’s collective thought:
What’s the point?

What’s the point?

Three simple words that leave me speechless
Knowing that no one can take this
From me and rescue me from myself. Help.
I can’t ask you. I can’t reach for your arms and tell you I need you.
The ticking is louder like growing thunder it’s coming for me and I’m scared.
I’m horrified of the night cuz that’s when it’s at its strongest
That’s when I need you near me but you’re too far away to hear my shallow breathing
And I’m not strong enough to make it there to say good bye.

And it’s a lie if I tell you that I’m not afraid every night of letting you down.

But I’ve promised you forever.
I’ve promised pancakes and books and beautiful babies.
Days of absolute bliss and moments of intensity.
Like the sun eclipsing the moon you shed light into
Every ounce of me and my fear, my fear, my fear it flees in the
Face of true love which cannot be taken from me by any man or god or thought.
