Poison the Well
Album • 2003
Sit across from you Why are we even here? There is no way to make up for the 20 years I love trying to make conversation When I couldn’t care less of what you're doing What are you doing? And I know you never cared 'til now Cared 'til now All my days go back to when you would scream And it froze me And it froze me Guess the screaming It runs in the family You look tired and run-down Are you even excited to see your baby boy? Put a razor to the skin Until we don't resemble each other anymore Sit across from you Why are we even here? There is no way to make up for the 20 years So now I see the tears welling up Finally you care I've waited, I've waited I've waited for this It's always been over It's always been over It's always been over for us A single tear, a last resort for all who've never felt You look tired and run-down Are you even excited to see your baby boy? Put a razor to the skin Until we don't resemble each other anymore Sit across from you Why are we even here? There is no way to make up for these 20 years If I could flip this table I'd stab you, I'd stab you With every word that lied its way out of your head

I know we've never met And you'll probably never read this There are certain things your voice does to me It makes me feel the ground and sky again How sad it is when you spill your guts on the paper It only neglects you and never relieves In every corner and space I search for you I've only found your vocal cords Hate that I'm never certain of what needs what most All day your songs spin me Into a romance repeatedly to the sky (Scream over and over again) Over and over again Repeatedly to the sky In every corner and space I search for you I've only found your vocal cords Hate that I'm never certain of what needs what most And nothing has affected me so And nothing has affected me so In every corner and space I search for you I've only found your vocal cords Hate that I'm never certain of what needs what most

Barely able to keep the lids open At times I might think I need the rest But who would want to go back there? It's already hard enough to say I need it Bad memories and good times Keep me from believing that I can still jump off No longer, no longer the same You grow accustomed to seeing the sun in a different location Standing still becomes a chore Anxious to get the pavement moving The easy solution to this and everything else is to move on It comes equipped with the last word They find ways to drag you along And dismantle what you created It's already hard enough to say I need it Bad memories and good times Keep me from believing that I can still jump off No longer, no longer the same You grow accustomed to seeing the sun in a different location Standing still becomes a chore Anxious to get the pavement moving Happiness is not having to lie on the floor dead alone Happiness is not having to...

Covered from head to toe in lighting It's constantly changing when I'm around Days left before this is over and over and over and done with The sheets keep whispering "Will you make it through this day?" I'll practice making scenarios that aren't really there The corner hasn't helped in so long It speeds everything up now Back and forth, walking every piece of baggage off of me Hope when it hits they ground They turn to ash Sing the words even though they don't make sense at all I believe letters keep me warm I believe letters keep me company Tonight and forever in this room with mood lighting Even though it doesn't make sense

This morning when I awoke from the cushioned coils Eyes pouring their little hearts It didn't feel normal Waking here religiously Thinking the same black thoughts As always you weren't lying next to me With that smirk on your face right then Were you giving me the images constantly flickering I'll take the advice passed down I see you on your side, bad luck I see you on your side, bad luck Starlit nights when I awoke from the cushioned coils Eyes pouring their little hearts It didn't feel normal Nightmares fuck reality Thinking the same black thoughts This is the last time I'll be confused Or compromise my emotions

Sir you've opened your eyes too late in the day They wait for you in the room You know they are having conversations of punishment Last night you lost control Broke all their blood pumping mechanisms So you stand in front of the polished sand Wondering what will become of you and them They are scared Burn them like you did the rest They are dead Burn them like you did the rest One step in front of the other The other You make your way to them You rehearsed these words so many times Say it like you mean it You always yell You always yell You always yell You

I've woken up everyday With my eyebrows pointing at my mouth Making all who care for me Go through all my worst times with me And I give them no choice I give them no choice All my worst times with me I need to be unhappy to smile But I haven't quite got the hang of it yet I need to figure out Why this room has blinds that never open It's so hard to be these days I wasted all my time Trying to remember The word content was There isn't much to open eyes for I want to be excited just haven't been educated yet Wonder how long it will take before they leave me behind Questions in and questions out They always ask me It's so hard to be these days I wasted all my time Trying to remember The word content was Trying to remember The word content was I just want to be fucking happy

"Never allowed to point that finger Never allowed to point that finger Never allowed to point that finger Never allowed to point that finger" Overheard your conversation Tonight I'm not satisfied Sitting here I realize that I always think I'm right So it's over for all of you So it's over for all of you My scenery is lakes and trees I just can't keep all concrete I've fallen for this metal And I love this handle So it's over for all of you So it's over for all of you now Two round holes cut into this fabric And I will slide it over my head I'll chase you for all hours I never see you make the effort to chase me Now your final place is this lake Stare at me now on your way down Stare at me now on your way down Stare at me now on your way down Stare at me
