lyrics

"hang on me, hang on me" you said
I laughed up at the nothingness
"don't blame me, don't blame me" I sighed
you were gone and I was dead

you said, "I can't see nowhere but down
& it's all I see is
everything I've gone without
& the beautiful cigarette hangs from my mouth,
does someone have a light?"

"blow me out, blow me out" you burned
"aren't we all just taking turns?"
"carry on, carry on" I lied
"time delivers pleasures earned"

you said, "I don't believe you my friend
my misery cannot tell time & does not depend
on the good I do
& no matter how much I spend,
time's eating me alive"

"Help me someone, help me" you screamed
"let me out, I want to leave"
"Stay here please, I beg you, don't go
think of all you could achieve"

you said, "I can't see nowhere but down
& it's all I see is everything I've gone without
& the beautiful cigarette hangs from my mouth
I never got to light."

it's only recycled & dead renditions
of formality gone to hell
we hope for the best, pretend we're immortal
& call it living well
I was broken apart like a bottle exploding
& shattered like the stars in the sky
but now all I want is the sun to come up
I'll be gone & you'll be fine
