i can bullshit my way through repetitive conversations about
school, work, and girls i've lost interest in
but thats to imply this disdain isn't mutual
in fact, if you liked me thatd be more unusual and historically speaking
i've always preferred that illusion
see, i've a book at home
filled to the brim of my self doubt, my failures, and personal sins
laying bare on my nightstand
begging for eyes not my own
so if you'd prefer to have a less pampered conversation
id have to take you there cause, well,
that book it never really leaves home
unless i sing
with that being said
its getting late
and i didnt see your car out there
oh, no? no... no really its... its my mistake
see i should've known you'd have your ride prepared
i just wasnt sure of your situation
i saw your stare; it looked similarly vacant and I must admit
you just look so pretty when they sun goes down~ :)
i just figured that we could discuss that feeling of
never being quite good enough
but keeping my head high for the sake of the loved ones I
choose to keep around
went to the doctor
said im depressed
he said go to the circus, boy
its got a week left in town.
and while you're there keep your eyes out for pagliacci
he'll have you in stitches.
i turned and said
"doctor, I am pagliacci the clown"

so strange
04:38

I dreamt I was a dog, living life in cool colors and shades of gray
then I chased down a cat in my yard and they mistook me for a stray.
I yelled “No I’ve got a home, sir, you’ve got me all wrong.
It was her; trespassing and defiling my lawn.
My collars back at home, master’s worried about me,”
but they locked me in a cage on cold concrete.
2 days later I had made my escape and ran home with such speed,
but what I found hurt me worse than that knife through my tail. Master bought a newer, younger me
and I thought “How strange..” Shook off the rain; my paws were soaked.
I felt so plain, unlovable, like a big joke.
I spent that whole night under my neighbors porch and whimpered myself to sleep
then the cat marched on up, saw me sleeping in her spot, and nestled up right next to me.
She said not a word and we watched the rain fall
I thought “better to have loved and lost than never loved at all.”
I embraced her warm fur overlapping my wet coat
then I woke up to remember I was still all alone.
It’s so bitter outside. The morning breeze feels so cold.
Yesterday the sun shout out warm rays of gold,
but today the snow falls and when it falls, it falls slow
but I’ve got work soon so I should really go.
You know it’s so strange the way life moves on.
Things that take years to build in a bad day could all be gone.
I am afraid of everything especially your calls
but if you called, I’d pick up and you’d talk and I’d say nothing at all.
You love like you live and I live strong, persistent, and true.
No sense harboring hate, from gray skies come the brightest of blues.
I’m the most positive pessimist that you’ve ever met,
and our hearts pump these gorgeous shades of velvet and red,
and I’ve thought about what they’d look like on my bathroom floor,
but if I’m not a fan of life, I can’t imagine I’d enjoy death anymore.
It’s so strange, now that I’ve awoke.
I’ve felt so changed since morning broke.
Yeah I’ve felt so strange since the last time we spoke.
I can’t shake the shame, these lumps in my throat.
Yeah I’ve felt so strange since the last time we spoke.
Rather than place the blame, I’ll swallow my pride until I choke.
There’s different routes and rates at which we all seem to grow,
and if I must, I supposed I’ll find my route on my own.

i think id rather burn out than slowly fade with the rest
starting to think lifes a little too short to not smoke any cigarettes
as it turns out i'm a little more than depressed
i'm a small and creeky stretcher in a speeding ambulette
im the tires 2000 miles from bursting im the broken passenger seat
i'm the possum now lying dead in the road now cooking in the summer heat
im the crushed pack of newports in the dying mans bloody coat
i was once damp with pain, but now im soaked
pyramus come out to play
i'm the lion you think ate your wife
but im also the crack that first taught you her name
thisbe dont be foolish my dear
if I wanted you dead, if i craved your flesh
you'd have no chance to run
no time to shed your tears
but eyes lie and ears turn deaf
the mulberry fruit is dark
and its leaves spread to absorb the light
the mulberry tree is smart
and my veins are stained and send out my pain
the mulberry's in my heart
but i can feel it in my lungs
so i'll need a cigarette and a spark
