You've been making great progress
and I remain ever insolent
As I stave off my own obsolence
Starving all our innocence
Your hand in my hand.
We need not look before we leap
As we fall into today from yesterday
In those shady secrets you keep
that is where she lived, you say
Can't you hear her weep?
dreamy eyes stay sleeping
what pictures locked within
Breathe deep little bobby
From this exit bag of nitrogen
And they say there is a light
at the end of this tunnel
May we find glory in purgatory
The great filter, the final funnel
Only a few pass those white gates
Is it just too much to ask you
that we resign ourselves to fate?
Decided on a whim my dear
before you even were born
Based on a book called Bible
with a dead saviour to mourn
Well I wasn't born in a manger I fear,
No gift-giving to occur, No angels to sing
No frankincense nor myrhh
that wise men would bring
Lets get loud- we will scream until it stings
"THESE ARE MY FAVORITE! MY FAVORITE THINGS"
Burning with the rest of it, matter turned to dust
God gave me fire so I could spontaneously combust
Your hands in my hands your plans are my plans
I believe in you baby, I know that you can
Make the first step towards the end of that ledge
Taunted by shadows and haunted by spectres
At night they prevent you from sleep
Hi, I cant take your call right now
But please leave me a message
at the sound of the beep
That giving tree has given it all
There's nothing left to give
Selfishly sapped from it was
Any reason it had to exist
but place your hands in my hands
as we run as fast as we can
Into the middle of the street
Diving deep into tragedy
landing on both feet
im not ready to die
i want to live more!
its so easy to please me
since im rotten to the core
and i love you like i love my drugs baby
inside of me, turning me inside then out
I love you like I love certainty baby
an uncertain me shrugs in doubt
detox is d a n g e r o u s
my mind is on the fritz
milkshake for a brain
amygdala banana split
poison is a good reason-
an excuse to be close
oh romeo oh romeo!
save me the last dose
prick my soft skin
push with all your might
oh thank you
and thank you , too
goodbye and goodnight
There's a man on the moon
and a woman in my attic
You're too much too soon
how typical of an addict.
eat me and drink me
for this is the blood and body
whip me, then stab me
Endulge in your new hobby
staving off my obsolence
with mandatory gratuity
could ya toss me a towel
now that you're through with me
