you wake up lost and follow a stranger home
It’s four a.m. and the lights are still on
we’re living in the cracks you caused
you make your own
the part that is borrowed
and you pass it out so everybody knows what your about to do
what made her real was the way her hands would have burned had she touched the light
twist it out of the ceiling
And toss it onto the floor
searching for some feeling
i don’t have anymore
All the tortured are reading lines
It’s easier to make up your face
than to make up your mind
maybe if you ran a little bit faster you wouldn’t have to hide
just peel back the plaster and let me see inside
there are a million holes in your own life
and you’re buying disease
and you’re laughing
and you’re so sure
twist around and they’re selling you the cure
i’ve walked miles between these walls
i’ve breathed the air between these walls
You're breaking up
And I don’t know if I care

faces almost become familiar in their beauty
then become brutally ugly in their strangeness
then become brutally ugly in their familiarity
listen, i’ve been thinking and i think you’d better cool it
you know, straighten up
i used to like to pretend I was you
but now I scared
you have a good heart don’t you?
i’m gonna call the cops
i can’t cry because I don’t care
It hurts me too
to care so little about you
wow, you’re so compassionate
with tears and everything
you are also very good at being yourself
you are a champion of many things
you move so fast I feel as though I’m standing still
where are you going?
can I come along?
i can’t die because I’m made of steel
i am not a robot
i have a heart
are you crying?

i keep thinking someone’s going to burst through that door
and give me an award
i feel like I should be bleeding but I can’t find any holes
or any proof to show
i must really be callous
i didn’t even wince when they showed the photos
attack like the crocodile
from the dark riverbanks
with vacant eyes
and armored skin
they will be drinking
and then they will be underwater with teeth
rolling and rolling with nowhere to go
but down
i keep thinking someone’s going to raise their hand and say they understand
come on and give me just one more shot
all I’m asking for is just one more little try
come on, I promise to impress you this time
walking corpse with me
and you
i move into the heat
and you do too
(you are lost now and you have no home)
crowded rooms stay warm (moving forward and sinking downward)
(never sleeping and never waking)
(always passing and never meeting)
but you need more
