I'm going to bed
live others instead
imagine i was dead
paint the chaos red
sometimes it's just there
i know all effects
wish I was like the rest
when you close your eyes and don't feel a sting under your skin does that mean you have had a decent night?
when they tried to tune you all the strings inside you snapped and now all that's left are tear ducts in your eyes
useless images
of stars inside your eyes
useless dead romance
to keep me up at night
when you spend all your time hiding in public bathrooms does that mean that you have had a decent life?
because you can't keep eye contact or hold a conversation like a freak who only lives at night
you sit in a remote corner collecting dust and growing old and nodding til you're all worn out
you've only got a few years of your life left and more than half will be spent working from nine to five
so pull yourself together, you're a man and not a feather with your face stone cold you'll stay alive
(i'm not gonna die but if i roll the dice just right
i'll be a butterfly and live my only life in one night
i'm not gonna die, i wish i could for just a second
be a butterfly or all the mice out on city streets)
[excerpt from "the five people you meet in heaven"]

Rain in the morning
fog in your vision
wind melting our eyes
incoherent
dead man down the stairs
dead man down the stairs
wait until my head
blankets me again
blankets me again
cross the finish line
why'd we jump the gun?
why'd we jump the gun?
wash ashore
pictures of a clown
pictures of a clown
endless days
this layer won't burn
this layer won't burn
something's going wrong
headlights burning out
headlights burning out
some things never change
this isn't my room
this isn't my room
something's going wrong
i lost track of the moon
i lost track of the moon
i lost track of the moon
