So much to say with nowhere to start Broken-hearted ballads of your salad days are so bizarre And taking photographs like modern art To substitute the absolutely futile ways you fall apart Finally feel like myself again Containing what mainly is relevant I tend to move in a groove less than vacant Why do I act so evasive? Seeking to serve, but it's safe to say "No I got to much on plate" Begging your comrades and making fake promises Oddly you often confide in a grave I no longer fight all urges to cry it keeps me alive Taking it by, day by day in the fire I can lie Oh God, I'd like to think I've left that all behind But days go by and I don't like the void I see inside my eyes Someday you'll find these words about me Oh look, the pulse here is dead and gone Let's straighten out our brain and body Let's suffer straight down the narrow line What would it take to cover my face Leave it to fate, take it straight through my aching body? Sorry I fake it I was insane I'll save the date cuz I had it made all along And I reserve the right to never air it out My conscious conjures mantras much to sickening to say out loud Trust me when I say I have no hit box or a need for help There are no words more evil than the ones that I say to myself Met me halfway to the light Break me down cuz I don't mind Impressing people I don't like These circles break lord by and by I've only been here thirty years Landlocked on this dry earth Tied down to mind that finds its safe place in those "yes sirs" And I wanna think I've left that in the past But days go by and I'm still hauling up that hill with all my bags Someday you'll find these words about me Oh look the pulse here is dead and gone Let's straighten out our brain and body Let's suffer straight down the narrow line What would it take to cover my face Leave it to fate, take it straight through my aching body? Sorry I fake it I was insane I'll save the date cuz I had it made all along Cuz I had it made all along Cuz I had it made all along Cuz I had it made all along
