To Explain Why We're Over
-
"Some kind of thing
Eating inside of me"
I love you lots
You "love me not"
But as each night takes over the present
I can rest myself not knowing thee answers
To the dilemmas that trap me in bondage
Unwilling to find an escaping method
Because it's too hard
Locked up in a dungeon of pain
The dreariness takes over the day
And the anguish swallows me in the night
Where I feel like I have died
And don't even know why
The peddles I walk on
Lead me to a world where nothing's going on
Like a ping-pong
I just go off
And a spark of lies splatter like dust
To the point where I lose the trust
Of ev'ry one
Wealthy
Or poor
Big
Fat
Or tall
With all bridges burned to rubble
Dependent on all my pills
Unworthy, I have become
Defiant
And lost
"Calm, cool, and collective"?
My ass!
I'll be perfect in my next life
In this life I cannot progress
Can't even get things off my chest
How do you, when you don't kick it with anybody?
Out of all the bullshit in this world
The biggest bullshit is in my head
Spinning around until I'm dead
Walking around a funny world
Knowing no way to stomach being alone
So I shatter in my own fears
No longer wanting to be here
I fall from the likes of myself
Nothing is changing? oh well!
I could bring my own self to tears
Lose every one of my peers
Eat Cheetos
And wipe my own nose
Land in my own funniness
And watch all the birdies get murdered in their nests
As, like a dog, I am forced to fetch
A pail of water for the rich
You mean noting to me
So you can go
If I explained myself any further
It would have nothing to do with you any longer
So here's your pants
And there's the door
Don't even call me anymore
You stupid whore
You mean nothing
Even if you mean well
It's over between us
Now "go to Hell"
