Freaks

Brighter souls have stripped me of my worth. Tangible, yes but only at first. Broken nails, tear mere holes in my earth. Bottomless, and strange visions they birth. Waking dream, a mirage of what was. Fooled to think that it won't end in blood. Hold on tight to someone. It all flows away. Don't fear how I'll die someday. My life's been a fruitless waste, and I long to see you again. The ebb and flow of the waves in the sea... Paints her picture, only to mock me. I await... her return at the shore, Know in my heart... This realm holds her no more. I long for the other side. Hold on tight to someone. It all flows away. Don't fear how I'll die someday. My life's been a fruitless waste, and I long to feel you again.

What keeps you propped up like a man? Is it the way you talk 'round friends? Boys who laugh with hidden hands You hear it when you climb in bed The voices echo in your head Know what you did, know what you said I know the truth You'll get what's due There'll be no mercy here for you Karma knows not sympathy Bring me the head of the clown Stuck on a pike o'er town Crows nest in his crooked crown I know the truth You'll get what's due There'll be no mercy here for you Karma knows not sympathy

I feel dark clouds approaching Their clang rings a vengeful omen And I know why they speak in frantic whispers They don't want me to know So take the storm pill You don't have to feel anything real Just close those grey eyes ...and I was falling asleep Just as soon as my head hit the ground There's something happening to me But I think I'll keep it down And I was lost in a dream I had no will to be found My jaw clicks My skull, it drips I need someone to save me from myself Stepping over black snakes in coitus I stop to stare, they don't seem to notice And I know why they chose to let me watch them They want me to know... So take the storm pill You don't have to feel anything real It's just your time to die ...and I was falling asleep Just as soon as my head hit the ground There's something happening to me But I think I'll keep it down And I was lost in a dream I had no will to be found My jaw clicks My skull, it drips I need someone to save me from myself

She drove me home after the fire went out And showed me her silver gallows We talked until our moon came out And reflected in the shallows I'll sway in the breeze long after the crows pick me clean You'll watch my body twist and turn with eyes of light I never gave you in life and All of the mournful gather 'round This silver noose I hang from still And when you finally cut me down Don't bury me in the garden We both know nothing will grow there And I need old dirt to roll in I'll sway in the breeze long after the crows pick me clean You'll watch my body twist and turn with eyes of light I never gave you in life and All of the mournful gather 'round This silver noose I hang from still And I'll swing for the rest of my days It's okay, I found rhythm to sway
