One From None
People get lost
It's funny |
I am weak |
|
Wrap your skeleton around me |
I've been gone a long time So long that I forgot I had a face Forgot that I had a voice that you could hear When you tell me how much I mean to you And you want to know how I feel I see my silence spit in your face I didn't mean to throw a rock into your reflection Maybe some things are better left broken and scattered Veiled in darkness, secret bitterness and self doubt I should have known better Than to start something that I couldn't finish That I couldn't care about That I couldn't remember starting in the first place I don't want to know you You went years without me You might as well keep on going

I am a slave to my parents I am a slave to my horror I mutilate myself without their help You can see it in major cities everywhere . . . I didn't blow it I did good can't you see I took the punishment out on the road I don't need them to fuck me up I can do it to myself real well now I have it down to a science I don't know how I'll end up I don't want to know anymore I'm afraid of the nightmare I've become I live it slickly and darkly My saliva is black |
I'll get the wrong idea |

Beautiful stranger I see you looking at me Come here please I want to meet you Are you alone like me? Displaced dislocated Soul's back broken? No one has looked at me like that for weeks Blond hair, blue eyes, cautious smile I see the mad crowd swirling around you We held hands through that song Until they tore us apart I hope they didn't hurt you like they hurt me Like I hurt myself After the show I could hardly move Tired, sweat pouring off me I tried to get up to find you It took too long to get through the people at the back I knew it was futile, I knew you had gone I went into the hall It was so empty Floor littered with plastic cups and trash You were gone 10 million miles away I never learned your name I thought about you as I did two interviews I kept seeing your face Now I'm in a hotel room A dungeon several layers beneath civilisation's crust I can't sleep I keep seeing your face They way you looked at me, so real I watched you dancing with yourself It looked like you were in your own world Hallooed in honeyed hair Your eyes are glued to mine Solitude hurts right now The room is small and getting smaller Maybe someday I'll meet you I'll be back if I am not destroyed in the mean time I'll be back, look for me I want to know how you taste How it feels when your body is pressed against mine P.S. When that guy threw the cigarette That landed on my back, stuck and burned You were the only one that noticed I could live for years in the way your eyes looked at me |
1992 is a couple of hours away I'm staying in someone's house I am almost 31 All my stuff is in storage I am single and plan on staying that way To appeal to the more tender nature of a woman Is a total waste of my time What a joke Meanest damn people I ever met I am alone in the world and there's no changing that My loneliness burns deep within I don't mind because I am one from none My line has never been so clean cut Death has stripped most of the words from my speech Talk is a disease Action is its cure Death has been walking with me all year Talking to me in the night I answer with my insomnia Paranoia has put a hard shine in my eyes I mix humour with my fury Efficiency with my alienation Beauty with my rage the rising sun is my silent battle cry Exhaustion is my victory Death is that which I measure myself by I acknowledge no peer or ally I understand Death as master And the definition of absolute power My path is clear and laid out before me The wind rushes past me I dream of empty desert landscapes And proceed forward . . . . . . |

I want to fall in love with a woman One who loved me One who could show me I could trust her One who showed me That I don't have to be on my guard all the time
Don't touch me |
|
You are the reason I don't want to die all the time When I am with you life is worth living Time away from you in strange and full of pain When I look into your eyes I can see how life has savaged you It's ok if you fall I will be there to catch you Anyone that would want to hurt you Would have to kill me to do it I will never be able to pound words into lines To match the velocity of your presence |
Please come through the door tonight It's so lonely and fucked up here I'm confused and everything's strange I wish I was just on something You were the last woman that meant anything to me I can't stop I have no defence system No attitude that sees me through Sometimes I think I keep getting up everyday Because there's nothing else to do |
She asked me if I ever felt the desire to be held by a woman.
I didn't say anything.
She thought I was making up my mind and asked me again.
I told her that I wasn't going to answer that.
he said that she should keep her distance from me.
She said that one morning I'll wake up one morning
and find myself very alone.
If we were on a cliff I think I would have pushed her off.
There's nothing I hate more than people handing me lofty statements like they're these all knowing beings with supreme wisdom.
Like they really know me,
like they really know you.
She doesn't know the way I come from.
I said I had to leave,
I would have rather spent the evening watching bugs die.
So what happens to you when your dreams have been destroyed?
When you have chased cornered and ripped them limb from limb?
When you walk away to a desert inside yourself
I fell into the vacuum of my room
The darkness tortured me
Sucked the air through the cracks in the floor
Time scars my thoughts
I have thought about calling or writing one of you
Trying to reach out and touch one of you
I never get to it
I can't get out of myself
I couldn't find the right words to show you where I am
It used to be terrifying
Talking myself out of shooting myself in the head
Now it's just conversation
The night brings the silence and lies
With which keep myself alive
I hold myself in fragile arms
I'm not strong
I'm a rat holding on one handed to the screen of the drain
