I can't explain
what has changed
with my brainwaves
I can't campaign
what has gotten into me
I'm not afraid
or fearing the day
I'm not complaining
I'm not sure of the date
I'll light a cannonball to save them
e k g f u c k y o u
e e g f u c k y o u
cannot breathe another day
if I don't save me
can opener head
and see in like a TV
watch the free ride to hell
I'll put off your thanking
and I'll be broke as a joke
like a skinks kids
e k g f u c k y o u

I know it's late in the morning
but I can't understand you well
won't you just sleep a little longer
I'm not going nowhere
if this is the way that its gotta be
then this is the way that its gonna be
if this is the way that its gotta be
let it be
now she's hanging up notes on something
because I'm missing like a kid milk carton
grabbing fistfuls of hair with follicles
not calling me any longer
if this is the way that its gotta be
then this is the way that its gonna be
if this is the way that its gotta be
let it be
now they're hanging up notes on something
because we're missing like a kid milk carton
grabbing fistfuls of hair with follicles
not calling in any longer
this is the way that its gotta be
then this is the way that its gonna be
and this is the way that its gotta be
let it be
thought that I lost
everything went to pot
time wasted loosely tying knots
a lot of pain with a little head ache
breaking heart and dying off
as I'm slowly salted with V8
in a paisley shower curtain
I'm wrapped up in
not unlike a new born baby
you won't acknowledge

drink as much as I might
drink as much as I do
I can quit it even if
I never wanted to
I don't drink anymore
anymore than I do
that's what I'm gonna do
about a hundred proof
drink as much as I might
think as much as I do
I can't quit you soon enough
and I never really thought I could
ever want so much to
fucking just forget you
fucking just forget you
fucking just forget you
I don't drink anymore
anymore than I do
that's what I'm gonna do
about a hundred proof

Hollow Cry For Help
03:38
|
|||
|
can you hear my hollow cry for help
I don't really want it
as I reach my hand right down to the water
cannot be anything but despondent
can you hear my hollow cry for help
I don't really want it
can you hear my hollow cry for help
I don't want it
as I reach my hand right down to the water
cannot be anything but despondent
can you hear my hollow cry for help
I don't really want it

some wounds and broken hearts
are thought to heal like glue when I'm with you
who knew
you might be disappointed
when all is said
when all is said
now all is said
its not much
but all I need is you
sort through these broken words and thoughts
I've mended up for you with glue
who knew
you might be disappointed
when all is said
not always sad
not all is said
its not much
but all I need is you
and I'll stay awake as long as it takes
to make all the mistakes I've made go away
you might be disappointed
when all is said
when all is said
now all is said
its not much
but all I need is you
do you want to hit me in the face
do you want to have a child
do you want to help me find a new place
do you want to get it filed
I don't know why you don't like me
I don't know why you won't let me
like you
just like you
you can have it both ways
burnt cake and eat it too
we all lose it
wish we didn't have it
and it's probably not worth finding again
I don't know why you don't like me
I don't know why you won't let me
like you
just like you
I don't know why you don't like me
I don't know why you won't let me
like you
I liked you

move to the city of darkness
