Within this edifice I built for myself,
And in this past tense…it didn’t want to die young.
A hole in anything that it peers through,
A hole in everything…I gave to you…
I’m not whole… (I’m not whole…)
And I’m not here… (And I’m not here…)
Yet I’m not alone… Yet I’m not alone…)
Bright as I yearn… (Bright as I yearn…)
King of the listless and lord of the vain,
Feeding the sickness, perpetuates the lie.
Towering infernos that reach to the sky…
Divide and isolate…Shock and awe…
I was 8…
On the outside it may seem a bit like a joke,
but it’s million ways to show how I broke.
And you buckled and bent and ate ash like a pro,
Out of the ‘pitched black’ (GROW!) the seeds you sow…
I ain’t looking for peace…
I ain’t looking for relief…
But I find it in every neat bottle I meet.
I ain’t looking for excuses,
This is the choice because I am weak.
And I find I feel so much better by sinking deep…
And I mean now!
I’m not whole… (I’m not whole…)
And I’m not here… (And I’m not here…)
Yet I’m not alone… Yet I’m not alone…)
Bright as I yearn… (Bright as I yearn…)
I…ACHE…
