I can't stay
Promises call me away
You're feeling off I'm feeling normal
Need one more hit just to calm your
Angst
I know it's a pendulum
Swing low just to cut me off
You think it's so
Easy just to turn it on
I swear I won't feel sorry for
Me anymore
It's my fault, my fault
She screams
She says, "it's for a lifetime"
Close your eyes surprised to find what you've become
Pictures that you thought were photographs for one
Now they found out what you were in secrecy
You're the raw ripped blister of indecency

Wish she would
Come alive
When he's done
sexual, durable, rubber, synthetic
he can almost feel the goose bumps
customized, financed outside your door
she left him still wanting more
Hours to
prepare to wear
almost nothing at all
Primed for the spot light
when she's way beyond the buzz
frequently intimate
with boys behind the dumpster
Won't you take my picture
Like attention, like attention
Photograph me fucking strangers
Like attention, like attention
It's okay, it's alright
I don't think you could do better
I don't think that we could ever be happy together
So sweet and simple
But you're bored
You left him begging for more
I wish you
would dare to care
about anything at all
I propose
your perceptions become
my fantastic desire
Wish she would
Come alive
When he's done
I'm a thief
I'm a liar
I am numb
Won't you take my fucking picture
Like attention, like attention
Photograph me fucking strangers
Like attention, like a ten

They started this project
Taking over for the default
Save the writhing for their raw thighs
Hide your laughter from the breadline
Memories mesmerize
Build a fortress, dodge the seed pods
Let’s play pretend, war with cap guns
We go flying through the back yard
Time made you cry
Couldn't change your whole life
I'm decomposing in code
A trick to comfort the sane
Your lab maze
I'm rat one
Far too smart to cause harm
So let the rabble persuade
My best days
Are long gone
Nothing has happened yet
It's just a coincidence
Thanks for calling it off
Nothing has happened yet
You just don't remember it
Thanks for calling it off
Grim Reaper, that old man,
Guards the Eden, will defend all.
See the writing miss the punchline.
We can't blast off without hindsight.
In the streets, in the skies,
Bill to: "Progress." God, were we wrong!
In the deep end whirls the black cud,
Children dying, creatures keep on.
