| [00:25.41] | I'm used to apartments with walls that are weak |
| [00:27.91] | Sometimes I'd hear it all if my neighbours would speak |
| [00:30.58] | But this recent apartment and bedroom that I got |
| [00:33.11] | Started out seeming decent, more boring than not |
| [00:35.77] | For two or three years nothing happened at all |
| [00:38.20] | There was an old man next door that I would see in the hall |
| [00:40.96] | He shuffled politely and wears an old suit |
| [00:43.32] | You know, a standard old geezer, a quiet old coot |
| [00:46.09] | He used to seem normal but then all at once |
| [00:48.60] | He started these nocturnal groanings and grunts |
| [00:51.16] | It's hard to get used to, it gives me the creeps |
| [00:53.60] | Pretty much every night now, he screams when he sleeps |
| [00:56.44] | Dark night of our souls |
| [00:59.02] | Dark night of our hearts |
| [01:01.64] | Dropping down the bottomless hole |
| [01:04.17] | I just need to get some sleep |
| [01:05.30] | I don't know when I might begin |
| [01:06.55] | But I don't want another minute |
| [01:08.02] | In this same-old story purgatory |
| [01:09.68] | Stop the torture old man |
| [01:10.71] | And please don't be myself from the future! |
| [01:14.82] | If it was a dog bark or a screaming infant |
| [01:17.40] | I'd probably be fine, back asleep in an instant |
| [01:19.88] | But picture me lying there alone in my bed |
| [01:22.36] | When this old man just lets out these shrieks near my head |
| [01:24.97] | And now every night at like 3 in the A.M |
| [01:27.64] | I get woken up by this miserable mayhem |
| [01:30.32] | Who's being dismembered? What the hell is wrong? |
| [01:32.72] | I'm scared that he'll send me insane before long |
| [01:35.39] | And it makes me afraid just to be me like I am |
| [01:37.81] | Cause it could be my fatal moment, screaming old man |
| [01:40.49] | Tell me what did he do, in his youth for this torture |
| [01:43.27] | And what if I'm him and it's true that he's me in the future? |
| [01:46.00] | Dark night of our souls |
| [01:48.68] | Dark night of our hearts |
| [01:51.35] | Dropping down the bottomless hole |
| [01:53.68] | I just need to get some sleep |
| [01:54.84] | I don't know when I might begin |
| [01:56.19] | But I don't want another minute |
| [01:57.65] | In this same-old story purgatory |
| [01:59.32] | Stop the torture old man |
| [02:00.40] | And please don't be myself from the future! |
| [02:04.27] | I'm used to apartments with walls that are weak |
| [02:06.77] | Sometimes I'd hear it all if my neighbours would speak |
| [02:09.34] | But this recent apartment and bedroom that I got |
| [02:12.00] | Started out seeming decent, more boring than not |
| [02:14.58] | But now it's like trying to sleep in a Guantanamo cellblock |
| [02:17.33] | Or a hospital hellhole for some horrible shell shock |
| [02:19.97] | Or a medieval dungeon with sadistic conditions |
| [02:22.57] | Where some pitiful someone is getting whipped while you listen |
| [02:25.06] | And you know in the dark when your mind is just spinning |
| [02:27.70] | And you get visions of weird things with no ends or beginnings |
| [02:30.31] | I drift off for a bit and then he's screaming some more |
| [02:32.89] | And I'm scared that he's me and I'm the him from before |
| [02:35.43] | I get some paranoid fantasy sci-fi scenarios |
| [02:38.20] | They seem dumb in the daylight but for now again there he goes! |
| [02:41.15] | Dark night of our souls (dark night soul!) |
| [02:43.91] | Dark night of our hearts (dark night heart!) |
| [02:46.56] | Dropping down the bottomless hole |
| [02:48.95] | I just need to get some sleep |
| [02:50.07] | I don't know when I might begin |
| [02:51.42] | But I don't want another minute |
| [02:52.89] | In this same-old story purgatory |
| [02:54.58] | Stop the torture old man |
| [02:55.60] | And please don't be myself from the future! |
| [02:59.63] | Well you know Jeffrey, it's true what you say |
| [03:02.39] | I once was like you but then I turned out this way |
| [03:04.99] | I lived my own life complaining love wasn't there |
| [03:07.42] | It was never enough to sacrifice for, or care |
| [03:10.13] | And I once had a cat and I had one or two pals |
| [03:12.47] | And I would go and hang out, sorta like that way you do now |
| [03:15.32] | But now all I can do is just scream in the darkness |
| [03:17.97] | For pain inside ninety years, empty and heartless |
| [03:20.51] | If you grow seeking freedom, you're a rose, breathe and bloom |
| [03:22.97] | So you know it's already leading you down the road to this room |
| [03:25.62] | Thought I'd get glory from war, in the dark in a trench |
| [03:28.03] | Then I spent forty years more just in a park, on a bench |
| [03:30.75] | And it's all existentially hopeless eventually |
| [03:33.41] | You're just dementedly shrieking like me, like you were meant to be |
| [03:36.30] | I am sent not as a warning |
| [03:38.58] | But as an acceptance |
| [03:40.42] | So accept it! |
| [03:42.08] | It is already written! |
| [03:43.90] | It is already happening! |
| [03:45.96] | You are already here! |
