Poetic Tragedy
The cup is not half empty as pessimists say
As far as he sees nothing's left in the cup
A whole cup full of nothing for him to indulge
Since the voice of ambition has long since been shut up
A singer, a writer,
He's not dreaming now of going no where
He gave heed to nothing
And all that he was is just a tragedy
So he voyages in circles succeeds getting nowhere
And submits to the substance that first got him there, there, there, there
Violent frustration
He cries out to God or just no one
Is there a point to this madness
And all that he was is just a tragedy
He feels alone
His heart in his hand
He's alone
He feels like
I feel
Then on that last day he breaks
and he stood tall
then he yelled, then he yelled
Violent frustration
(Why world? Why world?)
He cries out to God or just no one
(Hate you! Hate you!)
is there a point to this madness
(and then he takes...)
(Bye world!)
And all that he was is just a tragedy
Talk About from Dear And The Headlights
You're like a constant crowding consonant I'm a claustrophobic I, I said
We're as comfortable as wool warming naked indifference
Thank god your words have come to rescue me from my sentence
You're like a two stepping tongue on a flesh dance floor your the eulogy I can't avoid anymore
That tumor in my side celebrating malignance
"Surprise I'm moving in I think I've grown on your parents"
You want to talk about all the feeling I'm feeling I'm a passed out priest in an AA meeting
And they're checking my pulse trying to make a decision
I've got those rolled back eyes but nothing's clouding my vision
You're like a knock at the door in the middle of dinner from the friendly registered sex offender
All equipped with a mustache and a windowless van you're telling me how much you've changed
I'm trying to hide the crayons and no you can't come in
I'm like your neighbor's hand on your father's throat "Sweetie go back inside, see this is just for adults"
So adult is what we'll be, domestic violence in denim
Each tumble down the stairs appeals your puff paint addendum
You say I'm like your backpack caught on a chain link fence
But dear I'm a thank you card in the future tense
I'm jumping out of cakes serving divorce papers I'd say I love you too but I'm all out of favors
You want to talk about all the feelings I'm feeling like your chalkboard wrists but I don't tally the meaning
You keep forgetting the plot, let alone the long sleeps
My eyes they only know three words and each is pronounced "Please!?"
And I would walk you home if I could find my crutches
Probably listen more if you didn't talk so much
Why don't you show yourself out how can you cry now, this whole things been such a drought
You want to talk about all the feelings I'm feeling You're like a phone call home after eight long seasons
There's a mail order bride and a baby that's teething
Said the smog it hurts your eyes so on the next tain you're leaving
I'm not certain it's the smog more than the constant grieving
But first you're dropping off the kid and sticking me with the feeding I said Oh god damn it you're so mean
You say I'll loose the Christian crowd if I say things like these
But I've already lost them, I couldn't care less
I guess my path it just got wide so I'll just with you all my narrow best
Liar In The Glass
Dance with me below crystal knives
Chandeliers ablaze
We'll dance in fear of our own lives
That our eyes contain
Behind these masks we renegade against the sound
We'll let our voices slowly fade and ring out
Crystal chandeliers hang
Crystal chandeliers hang
Gently swaying with our bodies, fall down
Race upon us, hammer into the ground
Crystal chandeliers hang
Crystal chandeliers hang
We dance among our shadows,
Our enemies connected feet to feet
We dance among our shadows (we dance among our shadows)
Our enemies connected feet to feet
I'll take the lead
I won't run, I won't hide from this
I'll dance into the night (dance into the night)
Gently swaying with our bodies fall down
Race upon us hammer into the ground
Crystal chandeliers hang (crystal chandeliers hang)
Crystal chandeliers hang (crystal chandeliers hang)
Hiding (hiding) behind a mask (only lasts til)
Till you see the reflection of a liar in the glass
Hiding (hiding) behind a mask (only lasts til)
Till you see the reflection of a liar in the glass
Hiding (hiding) behind a mask (only lasts til)
Till you see the reflection of a liar in the glass
Okay lol.
