I've watched you all succeed with the highest marks in greed from my cave, where you're displayed like photographs that bleed
and my teeth grind names into their ivory membranes.
I am hate everlasting with each sickly spell I'm casting.
I discard all my feelings. The stars scar my ceiling.
Sun, I won't spare you. Moon, I won't spare you.
My pain is mine. It's become my friend iwth time. Chia-like, it grows.
Watch it fester for my foes.
One day, I'm going to get up get right back into the city with my flamethrower mouth.
You bet your life it won't be pretty.
I discard all my feelings. The stars still scar my ceiling.
I won't spare you. I won't spare you.

Why'd you have to go and take a picture of a life like that? You aren't new enough.I give up I give up I give up on you. Look at you,look at you,look at you. Pretty boy floating face down in a pond of glue. You aren't new enough. we give up, we give up, we give up on all those like you. I discard all feelings. The stars scar my ceiling. I won't spare you. I won't spare you. won't spare you won't spare you won't spare you i won't spare you. i shall grow and grow. i'll grow
Walk, just walk away
And throw old things away
Things don't last too long
But when they do
They last too long
Walk, just walk away
And throw old things away
I, I thought I tried
But what, what does that mean?
Walk, just walk away
And throw old things away
Nothing sticks to you
Not even what you WANT to
I've met that point in my life. Want came to need.
Burn
these fields of corn, that surround. My harvest
gone at the price of
maturity. But these remains
I've left to rot will be resurrected again and
again
by the next generation of children who want to change
minds with the
stain on hand. But, it's deeper than
this, I'm not the only one who sees, it
lies in
diversity; acceptance to a degree, only to a degree.
The fire that
once occupied my eyes has spread to
destroy this world I have grown. You have
nothing
new to scream beyond your fields and not a second of
patience to
learn from me the same. This time I
harvest the crops of my past. As far as
the demigods
are concerned, I've sold myself out just the same.
I've burned
bridges to feign brothers. Brothers of
nothing more than a simple label. So
now, I'm in
control after all, for myself I prove I still am. But
within these fields, they'll say I never was.
candle is blue could see me through but I'm color blind
they tell me it's blue and I'm a believer that's why I'm blind
live on the freeway listen to signs and we drive by feel
be a believer believe everything you'll be right
half the time
candle is waxing takes my apartment I bask in its magic
all of the firefighters put out my fires took all my matches
staying up later waking up old and I'm leaving her never
ordering in all friends and lovers and we're making our weather with a lone light bulb
I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting, so I'm demolished - that's the way
some make exhaustion a mode of expression and that's their way
I'm just a question knowing my answer I hope I'm wrong
but I know the answer it's four in the morning I'm right again and I'm chinatown
now in a hurry, rubbing up urgent to get home to dot
was my missed mistress messed up my mattress I missed the catch
last of the pitchers catfish done hunting harry lundt
most of the killers never get famous and it's hard on everyone
I'm tired of fighting
Walked beyond the fence,
played outside our yard.
You took it hard.
Through a one-way door
hinged high on doubt.
No ins, no outs.
I like my clothes.
Don't want to grow.
I'll wait around
'til you say go.
The lights were off
when I got home.
Black room, blue phone.
Don't I know your name?
Weren't we almost friends?
Guess that depends.
Take some benefit
with all your doubt.
If this is principle,
I'm dropping out.
You demonize
so you don't look so bad.
You wouldn't take
what you couldn't have.
My back is warm
with your friendly fire.
I know you're trying.
Could you please aim it higher?
So alone I wrote,
I wrote this will.
I will decline.
This fish ain't big.
This pond is small.
So small of mind.
I like my clothes.
Don't want to grow.
I'll wait around
'til you say go.
You demonize
so you don't look so bad.
You wouldn't take
what you couldn't have.
My back is warm
with your friendly fire.
I know you're trying.
Could you please aim it higher?
Our mistakes are scrawled upon the chalkboard
They're scribed across stained glass
They're posted on the billboards
A lackluster charade
And are we so naive to concede these forefathers?
Apparently we are
Well, apparently it's true
There's no slot machines past the pearly gates
Why do we kid ourselves?
We grow old and wise
We just lose our minds
The dinner is a hit
The guests are full of spirits
They gather around the husband
He's versed in party tricks
The wife is in the bedroom
Smearing her makeup, makeup, make it up
But she's got a lover on the side
Motels, cheap wine
She says "You can't base love off the pity fuck,
unless they've got a lot of money."
'Cause it's the games that we play
'Cause we need to exist
We're not humans, we're citizens
It's the one on the ground
With his hands on his heart
It's the cleavage of division
It's all jagged and jaded
But it suits us
We just fake it through
