a pair of lights
shining in the dark
forever we travel
in opposite direction
at the speed of light
loneliness is still
silent.

my beautiful snowflake/lies dying in my arms/we taught her how to hate/so now she's turning back
she tried to write her story/but the ending it fell apart/but in the time that we shared she made me a work of art
she told me once my type shouldn't breed/she told me twice my type shouldn't breath/i believed her gouged out my eyes/blind faith such a tender lie
a notebook filled with dreams/cast aside at night/little did she know what these dreams revealed/i want you to repeal reality/ban the mass hallucination/can you convince me too trust my senses

there is a fighter jet
hidden in a whale
already morphed into
a hammer head shark
this is what happens when you don't stick around
this is what happens when you're fast asleep
there was a bear
he was golden brown
offered up his heart
and now he wears a crown
this is what happens when you don't stick around
this is what happens when you're fast asleep
there is a frog
cherub on its lips
a trio of slugs approaches
from the rear
this is what happens when you don't stick around
this is what happens when you're fast asleep

come a little closer/slide that way you slide/trace your figners around lips that hypnotize/try and suck in enough air to satisfy/for there will be no more breathing/now
if your dead/count to ten/continue till you hear us again/these lungs have/they have plans/oh boy do these lungs have plans
in this moment/in this space/every song has been sung/you wrote a book of lies/sold it to me as a book of love

a hollowness has taken me
it will not let me be
i wish that i could figure out
how i could become free
leave the shadows behind
scrub everything out
but even if i start anew
there will still be doubt
there will still be doubt
how can i move forward
when i can't see clear
might as well call it off
and have another beer
when i need right now
is to not be afraid
this too will pass
i will come of age
there will still be doubt
everything is spiraling
out of control
there will still be doubt

turn this instrumental/into a shot at a glory/or a pathetic attempt to get you to notice me/i try and write/something of meaning/then my libido takes control and sexualizes everything/like
how can you say goodnight/when there's so much left to say/like how can you say goodnight/when there's so much left to say
like i wonder if she can know/how beautiful she really is/all i can do/write down these words/and pray someday that this song will be heard/till then
how can you say goodnight/when there's so much left to say/like how we were never meant to die/only ever fade away/so how can you say goodnight/when there's so much left to say
