"I left the only person who made me happy on Mars..."(oh the Tragedy!) Mach 1
Wooden blocks fallin' from the sky
Blocking the words, formin' in my mind
Three winters ago, they'd never show
When I was younger, on fire
Never wantin' to waste my ink
The pen would drip and I would sing
My fingers plucking and hitting chords
While I spilled them out all over the floor
I would strum out some shit about Halloween
And how I never felt so inbetween
Well three years passed by so fast
Wearin' them out till they became the past
And now I'm sorry
You'll never know about those times
I'd play the scenarios in my mind
Those dramas onstage where I pulled the strings
And let myself fall again and again
The dialogue written but poorly improvised
A group of three but tangled by lies
I never once pulled the golden rope
To close the curtain and end the show
Because never did I find that perfect script
Like I did on that cold winter trip
Dressed in black, head to toe
You hair was longer than before
But that was all part of the magic act
Midnight came and you'd turn back
I never figured out what you were to me
(I cut my head open)
pulled out my brain and now I see
You were everything.
The gravel under the swing layered the earth
Nails diggin', causin' my feet to hurt
And I'm no expert when it comes to pain
But time has taught me, again and again
Everything in space I hold to you
Couldn't see what you'd grow into
But now I know, and I want it back
Don't need God to tell me what I can't have
Because I already know.
My words like stones will fall when thrown
They give me ammunition, I've been shown
But I'm not asking for war or something to fight
I'm not asking for the horses to ride on by
With guns firing and a soldier's blood on my hands
I'm trapped as an executioner on foreign lands
(I know the life I took was the one I shared)
I sent her to heaven while I took care of hell
And I'm still there, on fire.
Just read the lines until you're through
Everything's spelled out in front of you
Nothing my pen can't scribble out
Nothing but a simple sowing of my mouth
Another open and shut case
(Another open and shut case, on Mars.)
The aliens come and take me away.
