everyone tells you they know what to do they know what to do they know how to get through everyone just tells you they know what to do they know how to move on and to move through they know how to get through what you have they know that the pain's not that bad and everyone's told you, it's old news man everyone tells you they know what to do they know what to do they know how to get through everyone tells you they know what to do that your pain is old news it's shit they've already been through they know how to get through what you have they've had it much worse and still moved past and they're getting quite bored, well since you asked there's a point of value, i hate to say where they're here for their take and you're given away it wasn't about you, i hate to say they only take what fits up the staircase i don't have the value, i've found through the years no one wants to hear it's become quite clear i don't have the value to deserve the care but there's my grandfather's chair at the foot of the stairs in the clair de lune where i sing in tune and the flowers can choose not bloom

i don't think we were meant to stay this may not be the one we're after maybe we're better off this way a product of the great disaster the ghost within required too much he took the green out of my pastures i'll only reach for what i'll touch the lines reveal who is your master
3.
from the first time we met you went straight to my heart scars from your kiss burned with each fix why are you killing me? how come you're killing me? times get real bad you run out real fast i'm lying here aching with a cold sweat and shaking why are you killing me? how come you're killing me? i know it's late ain't nobody else around just you and me just hanging around why are you killing me? how come you're killing me?
