lyrics

I sit on my bed
every night and sing songs about death
thinking about the point
of why I even try at all instead
keeping quiet hurts
so I put my coffin before the hearse
but this heart's still beating,
bleeding while my hands and neck rehearse

something is missing
no one is even listening
fucking pathetic singers
with rusting fingers

the words I sing
they must only cling to me
when they carry my voice
they must lose all meaning
they do nothing for my anguish
just the tune of isolation from the rest

I must be kidding
I feel so empty

bits of sleep and concrete sheets
surgical dreams to the infirmary
bitter pills sink into bitter drinks
the actor is reading but the esteem is fleeting

there is no regret for the sunset
this drink is to forget
so I'll wash my hands of their demands
and drink until I'm dead

fight the good fight
and live on the dark side
or turn a blind eye
think on the bright side
