if i tear out my hair in the middle of the country where no one's around would you hear it from where you are? or are you even listening? yr hand surely slipped while lighting my incense set my body ablaze all up to my eyelids and i watched you again your smoked silhouetted body did sway and i soon had forgotten the burning; the bridges; the shame now i'm as weak as the thunder in yr step

Goodbye Cat (free) 02:10
I once saw a cat sleeping in the grass but I when I got up close, it was nothin but a ghost I thought I saw its muscles move but a fly jumped from its eye to its tooth Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye cat I once knew a girl, anxious and young Her delicate frame would get burnt by the sun I tried to give her shade but my grip was too strong I felt her bones snap like the shot from a gun Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye cat I spent so much time alone that my brain has gone numb nothing left to think of, nothing left to be done I hear the floor creak as I wait for my death Groaning with every inch of life in my breath Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye cat Lord, hear my cry, I'm dying too young Not in my brain or my heart or my lungs My soul is a cradle for nurturing war A war with my mind, destroying my core

Lately my mind is always somewhere else A sickly ache pulses behind my boney prison cell Walking circles round a room, putting faith in wishing wells I don't understand these things I do, but it makes me want to yell What is happening to my brain? I feel like such a fool You haunt me every day And there's nothing I can do Because it's not you that makes me feel this way It's really just the absence of you And that's not something singing will change No matter how badly I want it to The escalator pulls me towards such a lonely place My stomach does a fumbling dance as I see your distant face Trapped inside a leather cup, rolling miles down the road I'm surrounded by the tide that's supposed to be my home What is happening to my brain? I feel like such a fool You haunt me every day And there's nothing I can do Because it's not you that makes me feel this way It's really just the absence of you And that's something singing can't change No matter how badly I want it to

i'm not afraid of anything demons come and fight me i'll simply ask politely that you go away i'm not afraid of anything the wolves in the forest i'll stroll through the blackened wood i will make you my pet i'm not afraid of anything i'm not really sure why i'm not afraid of anything death will come whether you're afraid or not i'm not afraid of anything but the ocean is so large currents caused by massive creatures merely opening their mouths i'm not afraid of anything but floating through space alone with my thoughts for eternity loneliness can be eternal don't be afraid

for once i'm doin somethin right how come i still can't sleep at night? i feel just like a million bucks sitting in the can, waiting to be flushed i'm glad i got these feelings but i'd like to pick and choose so what? when you're around i feel like i'm a kid i hated my childhood, i didn't want to live every time i eat now i wanna throw it up hope this isn't what it means to be in love i'm glad i got these feelings but i'd like to pick and choose so what? gotta trust in Him, i don't know anything gotta trust in Him, no i don't know anything "follow your heart" well look where it got me gotta trust in Him, we don't know anything i'm glad i got these feelings but they don't mean anything so what?
