this sucks
it seems to hurt more not knowing
and I don't know why
i am normally ok
with being in the dark
but my search for comfort and relaxation come up empty in this hourglass
cause its time i am waiting for
when will it become my time
i miss the smell
and i don't NEED it
i really don't NEEd
its just nice to have around something that brings out the best in me
or maybe its the worse i can't tell anymore
i really don't know what my deal is i just can't snap out of it
help me get through this fog just another day
her guitar soothes me and i thank her so much for the comfort she always brings me
she makes me feel ok just a little for right now
i want to sing a million of her songs
that remind me
her words are poetic just like
the way it walks
the way it crys
the way it gets stubborn
when its faced with difficulty
i just wish i could shake it out
and see that everything is perfect
and its perfect
but than that would defeat the purpose
and i love just the way
but wish second could be closer than this
and i don't understand it
and i don't get it
i just want to scream
at the closest i have and i thought i was
but i believe i am just thinking to much don't worry i don't mean any of this
cause this doesn't care
and like i said i am thinking just a bit to much maybe there isn't anything wrong and its just me
letting the telephone ring
i am letting the telephone ring
cause i don't want to know why
i don't want to hear you explain
i don't want to hear you cry
i have written so much about you
so much i thought i knew
words like water used to flow
now what could i possibly have to say?
she is someone i don't even know
and all the things that you've given to me
i see now were simply reparations
they were gifts of your guilt
they were my preparation
i know i should be mature
keep my feet on the floor
but for some reason,
i just don't want them anymore
i know this shouldn't be important
compared to you and i
but i can still hear my questions
and i can still hear you
i can still hear you
lie
now vicariously i have her in me
i want to peel off my skin
let the water wash in
you always said that i was hiding
that i was hiding from you
but you are capable of things i could not do
you are capable of things i could not do
i remember how you pretended
how you pretended to touch me
i remember how i couldn't bring myself to believe
i remember wondering,
what was wrong
what was wrong
how could i be so naive
how could i be so naive?
seeing eye dog
you're my seeing eye dog and i am blind
you take me there every time
with that winning combination of loyal and kind
your eyes like wells to the water of your mind
i want to take a long, cool drink from your bucket
to every thought i could think now, i say fuck it
i just want to go with how i feel
like my only job here
is to care for and covet you, dear
i love the way your stories seem to fall from your lips
with just enough slobber so it sparkles and drips
the way you hang the whole room on a word
like a little stick in the beak of a bird
first we touched fingers and then we touched toes
then my army surrendered
my government overthrown
i threw myself a little role reversal and followed you home
just dying to be chewed
the dog was chosen by the bone
be my seeing eye dog
cuz i am blind
just take me there
one more time
with that winning combination of loyal and kind
your eyes like wells to the water of your mind
i want to take a long, cool drink from your bucket
to every thought i could think now, i say fuck it
i just want to go with how i feel
like my only job here is to care for and covet you, dear
