i see the eyes
they stab right through me
i see the whispers
and know the lies
that's what kills me...
i KNOW the lies..
i see the colors
and feel the burn
i speak the truth
and hear the voices in the eyes
i slip away
into dreams
and never wake up
take a gun to your head
and pull the trigger
cut your veins
see the cliff, jump
overdose on drugs
drop the toaster in the bathtub
tie the noose, step off the chair
i just want to bleed
i just want to cry
in the end we all lose
in the end we are all alone
i wish everybody would stop lying
i wish somebody could be relyable
the greatest thing you'll ever learn
is just to trust
and be trusted
shiver
shake
wait
may our release pardon all errors
and gravity punished her
and multiplied down on her
paralized
total confidence
doesn't exist...
beneath a waterfall
thoughts wash through me
clogging my veins
making my heart unsteady
filling me with static
i'm not sure i can make it
to the next time
the sun will shine
