[00:06.78]My body's made of cells
[00:07.75]
[00:08.50]and cells are made to keep you caged
[00:09.94]
[00:10.46]I keep awake to celebrate
[00:12.42]my sweet escape
[00:13.71]I've seen the flames of this hell
[00:15.18]and made it either way
[00:16.76]So why be afraid, It's okay
[00:18.82]
[00:19.77]It's just fire it's just love it's just us
[00:22.81]
[00:23.46]It's just trust it's just this once
[00:25.46]
[00:26.88]When these small talk graces
[00:28.20]keep me warm
[00:29.38]Like a small-pox blanket in a storm
[00:31.81]When the rainfalls and entrenches
[00:33.98]all that gets touched
[00:35.23]Making evergreens to defend
[00:36.60]
[00:37.15]against the next one
[00:38.62]I'll take a Redrum neat or on the rocks
[00:41.06]
[00:41.64]One of these cocktails will be a molotov
[00:44.01]If I keep it up eyes shut
[00:46.80]and my feet are stuck
[00:48.13]Icarus wings adjust just
[00:49.59]so I can reach the sun
[00:51.52]So I can sing with such ardor
[00:53.35]I deplete my lungs
[00:54.35]And my heart beats so much
[00:56.27]that it starts seizing up
[00:57.73]
[00:58.51]These are the symptoms of an optimist
[01:01.11]Melancholia kissed him
[01:02.79]on his bottom lip
[01:04.17]And here I am, a picture
[01:05.83]of accomplishment
[01:06.85]Mixture of the opposites
[01:07.66]
[01:08.58]insecure and confident
[01:10.26]
[01:11.18]So is this a path of glory
[01:13.01]Or a dead end to a lonely
[01:15.09]saddened story
[01:16.06]Where I buried my confession
[01:17.80]I married my depression
[01:19.31]Now the holy matrimony's
[01:20.48]grown to owing alimony
[01:21.62]Show me what I hide beneath
[01:23.69]my grin under my deceitful skin's
[01:25.53]Another guy I'd like to meet
[01:27.26]I wonder why he seems so grim
[01:28.85]
[01:29.54]Every piece of him
[01:30.46]they subdivide to equal bits
[01:32.13]To pitch into the ocean told 'em
[01:33.78]love is blind so sink or swim
[01:35.16]
[01:35.89]And so I oblige breast
[01:37.19]stroking side to side
[01:38.61]Till the stroke inside
[01:39.54]my breast gets hold and I abide
[01:41.89]And so by and by I try to
[01:43.70]fight a tide that’s tidal sized
[01:45.43]Until my vital signs subside
[01:46.71]and I write my goodbyes
[01:48.32]To my friends that
[01:49.30]are dropping like flies
[01:50.76]
[01:51.68]It's a trend that I'll follow in time
[01:53.63]
[01:54.74]I pretend that I ought to be fine
[01:56.64]
[01:57.21]Getting dizzy once again from
[01:58.61]these wandering eyes of mine
[02:00.86]I need some R & R I think
[02:02.61]I'll drink some R & R
[02:04.17]Sip spirits lift spirits then
[02:05.40]I'll raise the bar at bars
[02:06.66]
[02:07.34]I bring the darkest part of
[02:08.75]myself door to door
[02:10.29]Let's press our chests together
[02:11.54]then we'll have a heart to heart
[02:13.39]I saw a fallen star
[02:14.71]and didn't wish upon it
[02:16.31]If you're not that superstitious
[02:17.91]you don't get that disappointed
[02:19.74]I'll never say I'm different,
[02:21.13]cause I've never made a difference
[02:22.54]And I've yet to pay attention
[02:24.19]to the debt that I've avoided
[02:25.82]I set to write a portrait
[02:27.23]not emotional confessions
[02:29.15]This is spring cleaning for a
[02:30.65]closet full of bone collections
[02:32.38]I'm not alone the
[02:33.31]
[02:33.89]monochrome is so infectious
[02:35.57]But I won't regret it if
[02:37.02]I follow all my own directions
[02:39.20]
