I don't know if it's worth it
I don't know if I should keep trying when most signs point to giving up if there were someone to take advice from would he say give up Am I losing what should be mine I don't know if I really mind or am I misusing what's not mine what's really never mine Everything moves too fast that's why there's so much still left in the past I know I don't want to be overlooked but am I sure how long this should last I went out to look for you I wasn't sure what you might do but mostly I just wanted to save you to do something you wouldn't expect me to |

I had to wake up my head first
my body had a few more minutes and my throat was dying of thirst of course I should have known the morning would be this way but there was no use ignoring the rest of the day Since people are dying in almost every possible place I'd rather not leave the bed here with you since there's a dead black cat scattered on my street I'd rather stay here under the sheets There was a parade outside the window with no cars just dead cats being pulled by horses with blinds over their eyes I'm sure we could see ourselves rolling in the cats when the carts moved back and forth hitting the holes in the street |

I'm leaving what I made behind
I'll have to let it speak for itself Just make sure that I'm remembered Not for good or bad just not forgotten If I could lift my arm I'd grab yours If I could open my eyes I wouldn't do it I'll never know what it's like to feel safe again How can you not see me lying here? How can you not respond? If you could hear me you'd do something At least give me a reason to let go |

From where I am I can smell the smoke
They're burning something - I don't want to know Should I really sit here and wait and hope it blows the other way I wish I could see and turn off my lungs when I run into poisoned air which may finally be everywhere I don't want to go to sleep I don't even think I need it Keep every light turned on because it seems darker than ever All the murderous greed ignored by the ones with too many reasons for keeping things running If I blame them for anything it's nothing more than I blame on myself |

The light burned out
I couldn't see how to change it I couldn't move at all and thought I might slip and fall so I decided to stand there and wait until morning In the dark do things make a difference in the emptiness do things ever change |

With a short fuse and Chinese directions
I think you'll light yourself on fire because a Roman Candle's got no direction it just waits to expire And I know it takes a new addiction to keep you from what you're addicted to which is why I wish I could find a distraction whose efficacy is tried and true This person who thinks this is what I look like well it's as though you were drunk for years and if I didn't know better I'd say I'd never seen better from you |

We try to laugh a lot
thinking there's nothing more when nothing feels like living just waiting for something more There's blood on the table cloth it's there on the pillow case Leave it all here leave this place it's not the same When there's nothing to do but try to act like nothing's changed Just relax just stop thinking Put it out if you know it's too much I don't know that's all I can say and it means nothing because I'm not in your place |

I left thinking that I would be back
but I never did return if you would forgive me I'd forgive myself but forgiveness never has these terms the sky was as dark as the thoughts I was thinking it was ignored by the moon if you would believe me I'd believe myself but believing never comes this soon The streets made a sound only my ears could hear I was alone with the rats and raccoons and your memory keeping me alive as the clouds moved away from the moon then silence it hit me is a way to speak clearly a way to never say what you don't mean but silence is useless in cases of torture it just says God won't intervene And this night like others is a sign for the way that the gray air speaks for the dead the air is as vague as the thoughts I have now that these memories are just in your head so I kept walking through the clouds that were lifting to reveal what I'd thought there was more fog behind the mist that seemed was the only thing keeping me from what I sought I turned around to walk back to the place I had left thinking I would find answers to the questions that I shouldn't ask but the questions can't find a way to leave me behind |

Looking at this empty room
Hearing these sounds Whose distance I can't measure Through these walls I heard, this is someone's expression It's no use I tried to look at this I know I can't hide it The specters are rabid And it's this room that they inhabit |
