people want answers
where there are none
stuck at a standstill?
try to have some fun
how did you find out?
how did you know?
riddled with self-doubt
taking off your clothes
starlight through windows
kisses your cheek
old-fashioned hymnals and robes
blessed are the meek
now that the moon's full
it lights outer space
hot burning candle
pouring waxy waves
any other way
i don't know where to find you
any other place than here
what you want with me anymore?
i don't know who you are
i enjoy the view from afar

bitter attention
i know that kids can be so vile
vicious conditions
never forget it's just a child
when the balance holds the tension
it's the right type of control
back when i thought i was normal
white hole
when you ask yourself a question
when you're talking through clenched teeth
hope your light shines ever brighter
good deeds, clean seed
i smell that hate from a mile away
sometimes it's the things you don't say
i knew burt benson
i sensed the pain would last a while
purest intentions
heaping the pity up in piles
when the balance holds the tension
it's the right type of control
back when i thought i was normal
black soul
any advice?
how does time flow?
where's the light glow?
any advice for life?
where's the line?
i smell that hate from a mile away
sometimes it's the things you don't say
bitter attention
i know that kids can be so vile
vicious conditions
never forget it's just a child
when you ask yourself a question
when you're talking through clenched teeth
hope your light shines ever brighter
good deeds, clean seed
as i stare at my filthy shoes
perpendicular points of view
mathematics gets misconstrued
you follow through
as you stare at a slew of tubes
no particular time will do
methodology's tried and true
we acted like we knew
wait by the door
you've been through so much
what keeps you up at night?
it's like you like to try
i've been meaning to tell you
i've been meaning to try
i've been meaning to tell you i forgot

i've got to see you
we're all in the gutter
but some of us are staring so intently at the stars
i'd swear you were my mother
but you just don't have those kinda arms
i've got to see you
we're all in the gutter
but some of us are staring so intently at the stars
pretend my bones are rubber
i'll bend towards you but i'll break if it's too far
i've got to see you
and i'm worn
to the bone
will you ever love my body
like my soul?
take control
of this constant degradation
i'm bored
with my phone
so let's live our lives again
and write love poems
free to roam
like the disenfranchised cat people
at home
so alone
i've got to see you
we're all in the gutter
but some of us are staring so intently at the stars
i'd be a better lover
but i just don't have that strong a heart
we're all in the gutter
but some of us are staring so intently at the stars
i hear the things you mutter
i just sit around all day and play guitar

every night i forget
lands that are bleak and so desolate
and far away and cold
fragments remain in my mind
i'm afraid of hostile things i'd find
and can't control and own
yeah, i try to get far away
yes, i've tried, yeah, i've tried
to get far away
food from the trash
tasty meals
forage for cash
dirty garbage pails
and slimy snails and flies
claim in your name perfect holes
well aware that this receiver broke
its time since disappeared
yeah, i try to get far away
yes, i've tried, yeah, i've tried
to get far away
staring at the sunlight
through the bitter cold
wish i was at the source, the surface
telling all i know
i've peered inside the mind of God
and all i found was freedom
