Hogwash

Hogwash


I'm sitting at the table while my friends 
Are talkin' and I'm 
Wasting my ninth life and stealing ideas from a book 
So they can believe I'm strong 

The giggling schoolgirls 
Who speak loudly about sex 
Are nymphs who grin when I bleed 
And it seems they enjoy watching me 
But I know someday I'll laugh about this 

Nowhere, and nowhere 
And all points 'tween... 
I'm but a cloud in the breeze 

Seeing her stepping out from my blood 
Hurts me so much 
Distant wind chimes bring me back to my pains 
I'm no longer young enough to escape 

Her lies, 
She suspects nobody makes bets on 
Oh she'll never understand 
That wishing won't make it true 
Well now I'm sure I'm not bleeding alone
