sweep my ideals in a pile.
everything's for naught when i defeat myself.
and i keep falling under.
passing out.
and sleeping, it steals my breath away.
leaves me praying for escape,
worn out and stricken mute.
i was conceived with hope to be a hero.
instead, i waste myself away.
and the truth is, i may never find my way.
it's always been the same:
i keep giving in.
i'm giving up.
i'm passing out.
and i keep slipping back into an undertow of silent, formless dream.
somber, undulating swimmer in a black, polluted sea;
no color flashes here.
perhaps sometimes it's best if i forget.
sometimes i think i'd best be moving on.
and you can't save me. never could.
and no one owes me anything. how sad.
no excuse for my behavior.
think i need some sleep now.
and i'm dreaming up a desert.
and i'm searching for those crafty weasels,
roaming all around.
oh, where'd those motherfuckers go?
wake me up and i'll be all alone.
will i never have a place to call my own?
am i always doomed and forced to play this white trash rock and roll?
and the truth is, i'm such a fucking mess.
and i'm breaking, but it's no one's job to pick me up,
or help me when i fall apart, and i keep falling under.
now i'm passing out again because i've lost my only friend.
oh, and it kills me in the name of what?
