i don't think that i exist on this planet and i'm not really sure that i planned it and i won't come down now either split everything just like we agreed to i am such an ugly creature i consume food, it eats me too you came to see the flowers and the caterpillars you want to be a butterfly or anything similar but none of them are up here i don't think that i've been kissed on this planet cause its all just rocks and chilly weather keep digging holes to get better i ruined my lucky sweater but i'm certain things are gonna get better you came to see the flowers and the caterpillars you want to be a butterfly or anything similar but none of them are up here i don't think i'm asleep anymore

soliloquy in a sixty watt lightbulb and smoke from the stovetop covers up the lights my thoughts go dark tonight i saw a man going through the garbage bin amidst eggshells and mold and trash behold he is trying to find some hope sprinkling pills and whiskey like pepper on a soup on a stovetop in a stomach where they mix together in the room later i heard that he was high on sin did he let in? i probably saw a picture in a magazine and it made me think of you i probably heard that one country song and got nervous but i'll dig my heels in and walk down this dirty road that i don't know where goes now i will forever be painted as a violent man

i don't sleep at night i don't think quite right i am feeling ripe i am humming with life i am feeling ripe i am humming with a knife do you wanna be my delight swingin' at the bright light my bark ain't much to my bite i am higher than a kite i am feeling ripe i am humming with a knife i don't sleep at night do you wanna be my delight i don't need no sleep tonight

so i've been counting the calories in my cigarettes living on glycerin, i am starting to make bets if it was all going wrong why didn't we notice? you know i feel on but i still can't focus its so numb in this cage i've trapped myself for days built from bones i still haven't broken everything i breathe still leaves me choking i'm standing on the balcony and my nose bleeds equations and consequences never really got me but what you put in, isn't that what you get? nutrition from chemicals leads to regrets green light til yer head blows broke down with dirty elbows comfortably slipping into what happens next you've got your hooks deeply in my flesh i don't think i deserve to care anymore you get what's in store i'm standing on the balcony and my nose bleeds equations and consequences never really got me you're a nicotine addict, hold your breath, hold your breath so i've been counting the calories in my cigarettes living on glycerin, i am starting to make bets i've never done anything but make bets i'm so very tired of having regrets

in a dream where i had no fear a bee stung me it was late february and i was confused at its early arrival it seems spring pestered winter into giving up so soon and upon this miracle i swatted furiously and let my anger exit through my hand as all who do claim the name of man and i realized my error as it stuck with me through the day til staring at the sky through clouds a silhouette moon which is when i paused and watched myself pass away i've got hives on my skin and all sorts of insects crawling out of them i've got cuts on my lips i'm not getting caught up again and i think i love you baby maybe its just the words you say i paused and watched myself pass away

with my belly full of rocks i saw a snake slithering up against the house all he speaks is nonsense but every word seems to eat at my conscience with my belly full of stones they will catch me traveling alone and their lips move to kiss my feet they are begging to fill my soul with concrete i'm laying in the riverbed with my hands by my side the newspaper said that i drowned alive because i couldn't fight the demon inside all i did was refuse my guide with a belly full of glass i left my footprints in the ash that the water would not wash away i made a plan but have nothing to show i'll make my bed in the river's belly
