Everything I try to say Turns to dust and blows away It's stupid but I'll say it anyway While I swim against the tide Misery my gloating bride Sickening sweet comfort tells me At least I tried Yea! Buried is that book of rhymes Deep within my mind Can't cut the cord I live between the lines And I never compromise So I bleed it through my eyes Think they're taking me home What a sick surprise Yea! And she watches from the sky As I fade away and die Unkept promises still brimming at her lips I'll bet she smiles to herself Keeps her secrets on a shelf She's relieved at keeping time With no one else Hey! Yeah~ Yeah~ Yea!
