FIGURES OF YOU HAVE FINALLY GRASP ME. HUNDREDS OF FINGERS SEEM TO SLAP ME, DO IT RASHLY. TAKE WHAT YOU WILL BUT DON'T ASK ME. HUNDREDS OF RATS SEEM TO HAVE FOUND ME. CREEP ON THE PAGE NOW I'M A TRASH HEAP, TEARS AND NOSEBLEEDS. YOU'RE IN MY SKIN, PROACTIVE ACTIVELY. AND YOU SIFTED THROUGH ALL THE BODIES. PITY LOVE MUST BE YOUR SPECIALTY, YOU DO SO NICELY. HOW IS YOUR DAY? IT'S A FUCKING TRAGEDY. SO I KNOW I'M NOT ALWAYS EASY. STIFF IN THE MOUTH, NOT EMOTIONALLY. KEEP IT FROM YOU. BUT AFTER ALL YOU'RE MY ONLY TRAGEDY.

TABLES TURN. TIME TO END THIS LOVELY RUSH AND ALL THE THINGS WE PROMISED WERE ALL BATHED IN LUST AND SOON IT'LL ALL WITHER AWAY. PROMISED ME YOU WOULD BE SORRY FOR YOUR ACTING UP. YOU'RE ALWAYS GETTING CARRIED AWAY. DEPENDENCY. YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE WITH ME. I'M USUALLY RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE ALWAYS. I SAID PEACE OF MIND. LEARN YOUR ACCUSATIONS ARE MADE UP IN YOUR MIND. I'M REALLY GETTING FED UP. I'M REALLY GETTING FED UP. I CAN'T EAT IT ANYMORE, ALL THIS BULLSHIT. CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE. I DON'T EAT. I DON'T SLEEP ANYMORE CAUSE THIS BULLSHIT, FUCK THIS BULLSHIT. DON'T YOU SEE? IT'S TIME TO END THIS PUPPY LOVE AND EVERYTHING YOU'VE SAID. JUST TO GET IN MY HEAD TO GET AT ME TO PROVOKE SOME FEELING LEFT INSIDE ME BUT YOU KNOW, ONCE I WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN, IT'S CLEAN BUT THAT'S ME. CAN YOU SAY THE SAME? I DON'T THINK SO CAUSE YOU STILL TRY TO BE IN MY LIFE. IN MY LIFE. YOU BETTER LEARN HOW TO BE CONTENT WITH YOURSELF BEFORE YOU EVER LOOK AT ME AGAIN. I CAN'T EAT IT ANYMORE, ALL THIS BULLSHIT. CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE. I DON'T EAT. I DON'T SLEEP ANYMORE CAUSE THIS BULLSHIT, FUCK THIS BULLSHIT. I'M REALLY GETTING FED UP. I CAN'T EAT IT ANYMORE, ALL THIS BULLSHIT. CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE.

ONE CAN SEEM LIVELY WHILE THEY ARE RUINED. BUT THE RUSE IS UP. YOU'RE NOT WHAT YOU PORTRAY IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM. NO REFORMING, ALWAYS MOLDING THOSE PIGMENTED LIES ALL THE TIME. PAPER LANTERN EYES. YOU ONLY PATRONIZE ME, TRY TO DEFY IN HOPES I OVERHEAR ABOUT YOUR DIVE OFF THE DEEP END. BUT FRANKLY MY MIND WANDERS TO MORE CONCERNING MATTERS, YEAH YA-HOO YA-HOO YA-HOO YA-HOO ALL ONE CAN ASK FOR IN LIFE IS TO BE UNDERSTOOD. THE AGE OLD FIGHT BETWEEN THE WAS AND WHAT COULD. YET WHAT WE SEARCH FOR IS WITHIN ONE ANOTHER. WHETHER IT'S IN OUR FATHERS WITHIN OUR MOTHERS OR LOVERS. DOES ONE EVER REALIZE CONTENTMENT BLINDS THE EYE? YA-HOO YA-HOO YA-HOO YA-HOO YA-HOO YA-HOO YA-HOO YA-HOO WHATEVER'S IN FRONT OF ME WILL SLOWLY CONTRAST NEGATIVELY. PAPER LANTERN EYES. PAPER LANTERN EYES. PAPER LANTERN EYES. PAPER LANTERN EYES. PAPER LANTERN EYES. PAPER LANTERN EYES.

I TELL MYSELF, "CAST AWAY WHAT YOU'VE BEEN. WASH ALL ALL YOUR SINS. TAKE YOURSELF OFF THE GROUND. LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE FOUND." "AND I'VE SEEN TOWERS FALL AND I'VE BEEN WITHIN A MINUTE'S CALL. WITH A CHANGE COMES A BREAK BUT WILL THIS CHANGE BE SWALLOWED IN WAKE?" "NO ONE KNOWS WHERE I'VE BEEN AND NO ONE KNOWS WHO I AM. CHANGE CAN BRING A NEW FACE BUT WILL THIS CHANGE REVERSE MY FATE?" MORE. I WANT NOTHING MORE. I WANT NOTHING MORE THAN TO BE LEFT TO BE. MORE. I WANT NOTHING MORE. I WANT NOTHING MORE THAN TO BE LEFT TO BE. I'VE COME TO TERMS WITH THE FACT ALL OF THIS WAS FORCED TO BE. THIS IDEA OF YOU AND ME PUZZLES PIECES NOT MEANT TO BE. MORE. I WANT NOTHING MORE. I WANT NOTHING MORE THAN TO BE LEFT TO BE. MORE. I WANT NOTHING MORE. I WANT NOTHING MORE THAN TO BE LEFT TO BE. I TELL MYSELF, "CAST AWAY WHAT YOU'VE BEEN. WASH ALL ALL YOUR SINS. TAKE YOURSELF OFF THE GROUND. LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE FOUND." "AND I'VE SEEN TOWERS FALL AND I'VE BEEN WITHIN A MINUTE'S CALL. WITH A CHANGE COMES A BREAK BUT WILL THIS CHANGE BE SWALLOWED IN WAKE?"

INNOCENTLY CAUGHT STARING IN MY DIRECTION EVERY TIME I GLANCE OVER YOU MY SOON-TO-BE-NEXT-TO-ME-POSSIBLY, HOPEFULLY. WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE. WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS USUALLY. TRUST ME. SEEN IT BEFORE. A GORGEOUS GIRL UNRAVEL AT THE CREASE, PIECE BY PIECE. EVERYTHING I GREW TO LOVE WASHED AWAY, DAY BY DAY. WHAT TO SAY WHEN SOMEONE YOU LOVE WAS NOT WHO THEY SAID THEY WERE. WHAT'S TO SAY YOU'RE NOT LIKE HER? WHEN WILL THIS ALL FADE AWAY? IN A YEAR? IN A MONTH? IN A WEEK? POSSIBLY. I COULDN'T TELL YOU. I COULDN'T TELL BEFORE. OH. EVERYTHING IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS. EVERYTHING IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS. EVERYTHING IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS. EVERYTHING IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS.

I TRIED MY BEST WITH THIS GIRL, WITH HER. BESIDES ALL THE PAIN I ENDURED, I ENDURED. BUT I MIGHT HAVE LOST SOME OF MY PIECES OF ME. AND I MIGHT NEED SOME TIME TO FIX UP MYSELF TO FIX ME UP. I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE. I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO FEEL USELESS. I CAN TRY TO LET YOU IN BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENED. PLEASE, PLEASE CONSIDER WHAT'S HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE, BEFORE YOU TRY AND KICK THINGS OFF WITH ME.

WHEN MY LIFE'S NOT GREAT I KNOW SOMEONE ELSE'S IS MISERABLE. SO CAN I REALLY COMPLAIN? AND WHAT'S THE POINT IN GETTING TIED UP IN ALL THESE THINGS THAT WON'T MEAN SHIT TOMORROW? I'VE LEARNED TO GO WITH THE FLOW. I WON'T RETAIN. I DON'T SEE THE POINT. I'VE MOVED ON WITH LIFE. I'M NO LONGER CYNICAL. AND I'M FEELING GREAT. CAUSE I'M AT THE POINT. WHERE IT'S LOOKING UP. AND EVERYTHING I WANT IS NOW IN FRONT OF ME. AND I'M GONNA CHASE IT.
