I've spent enough time caring about you.
This is an old time apology for being me
no matter what I try to do.
You got the worst and I can't believe that you
cut into something deep in me
and made me believe that I could be
something more
than I was before.
Well, I hate being me,
but I believe
this situation calls for something that I lost,
you found in a clipping from a magazine;
you beat it into clay and you pretend to be
surprised.
Cut out my eyes
and call the ambulance.
The ambulance.
I've spent enough time
sleeping with my cigarettes
and drinking whiskey in my bed;
it was a good enough time
half the times I did it.
The evidence has shown
that I mostly like to be alone;
so cut out my eyes
and call the ambulance.
Walking through meadows the picture goes to show
nothing's real when you live inside your head.
And the piece of me I gave to you is dead,
but there are so many things I still need to know.
There's just one thing I need to know before you go:
Was there anything you loved about me?
The star's red light destroys my eyes
and I can't cry anymore without you here.
My knuckles turn black from all the blood in them;
beating on the stucco wall with all my might.
But there's just one thing I need to know before you go:
Was there anything you loved about me?
The wind's getting colder now, but it's okay,
because I have forgotten how to be warm in this place
I chiseled into the hardpacked ground;
where I can be silently away.
You're messing with your hands.
You're staring at the ground.
You're suspicious.
You can't look at me.
You can't say a thing.
You're suspicious.
The funny things you said to me;
filled with lies you let me believe.
You're suspicious.
This hurting in my bones isn't easy to explain,
but I guess that dying feels different every time.
So I don't pay it any mind.
I'm taking back and keeping to myself
whatever I've got left-
it's easy.
Too easy.
You're messing with your hands.
You're staring at the ground.
You're suspicious.
You can't look at me.
You can't say a thing.
You're suspicious.
The funny things you said to me;
filled with lies you let me believe.
You're suspicious.
I'm sorry for nothing
because it's all that I've got.
You drag me by my feet-
I'm bleeding from every pore.
It's raining on me, but I can't feel a thing.
My body betrays. My mind vacates.
Thus am I complete; house holy and empty.
My emptiness builds me a wall.
If you run, count me in;
I'll be behind you.
Walls may fall but I will not be crushed
as long as there's an us.
It's raining on me, but I can't feel a thing.
My body betrays. My mind vacates.
Thus am I complete; house holy and empty.
My emptiness builds me a wall.
I'm sorry for nothing
because it's all that I've got.
You drag me by my feet-
I'm bleeding from every pore.
I'm counting the seams I've snapped inside.
I've no blood to bleed; I only breathe in my sleep.
I say a name both foreign and vain.
I see my face as it fades.
If you run, count me in;
I'll be behind you.
Walls may fall but I will not be crushed
as long as there's an us.
It's raining on me, but I can't feel a thing.
My body betrays. My mind vacates.
Thus am I complete; house holy and empty.
My emptiness builds me a wall.
I'm sorry for nothing
because it's all that I've got.
You drag me by my feet-
I'm bleeding from every pore.
