I heard the news today, you have a baby on the way. All of our old friends are fucked up, I can't believe how things here changed. Remember all our old spots? Staying out till four or five? Waking up the neighborhood? Man, I miss you a lot.

I want to die I want to live I want to die I want to live I want to die.

My bed whispers that I'll never get a good night's sleep without. Stay clasped, stay cheap; I will love you from an iron keep. I have a lot to say but my words died in the car that day. I unlocked my doors but maybe I deserve to be alone. I'll do anything, just let me get in three more words. I took an aeroplane but they only reached the backs of birds. Maybe you were an instrument still calibrated when you brought me joy. After a while, this shit just starts to get old. I mean I'm only twenty-four but I'm impossibly cold. Now I have amazing things to say but they died inside the car that day.

I've been watching you for years but all this watching you is dragging us both down. Your pretty face has changed from shades of black to grey to red to green to blue. Anyways, anyways, you gave me my best of days, been living in your memories and that's no problem. I hope you know that I don't mind, just find another of your kind, all this cold I drag around I don't want to share. These tumbleweeds are calling me, I don't think I can stay here anymore. Your gravity is powerful so long now it has held me to this floor. We both know there is not much here, at best our love is smoke and mirrors.

If you ever see an empty spot beside your bed, and you think that it could do with the weight of me instead; If you ever wonder if I'll come back to your haunted house, I'll stand outside the gates with all the other dogs and howl ooooooooohhhhhh We could break into the courthouse and we'll forge some legal documents declaring us both dead and we'll drop out from the populace. Spin these dried out tires till we're tired of just you and me alone. I don't think I'll get that way though.

On the night that you left, I asked myself what else could go wrong? You answered me by falling to the floor. And though I thought you had a very strange way of answering my question, I appreciate your abstract mental state and thought it worth mentioning. It's crystal clear in clarity, I understand the comedy, that you would rather die alone than have to live a life with me. It's precision cut like diamond thieves spoiled ripping through intestine sleeves. My bleeding mess is less escape than a way to get my body free. I know now I am not much fun, and I'm not the man I used to be, I was better when you were with me, but you were dead before deceased.

For a while I have been walking around in a daze, pulling on coat strings adding up the threads in my shirt. Sure enough, that kept me busy for weeks. When I awoke there had been a terrible mistake. All my favorite comic books were burning in a pile. Noone was around to attend to the flame. Everything I love was gonna burn to the ground. Now there's this burning and I'm still learning how to accept the fact that everything I love has gone to ash. Now there's this burning and I'm still learning how to accept the fact that there will always be this burn.

I can't tell you what it means, to put my hope in the back of another shattered dream. I don't know where I went wrong, I mean I did like they say and I put my hope in fate and now you're gone, and I don't think I can hold out for too long. I don't have the kind of years, to sit around and wonder if the payout's worth the fears. Besides, it's probably not. I looked down at my laces as your arms broke away. Pretended not to care about the last words you would ever say. The window leaks just right through the heavy drawn shades to draw my eyes on last nights candles and forgotten plates. We spent so long just dreaming of the future we would hold when we got older and stopped dreaming we couldn't let the old dreams go. Remember when we let the speedometer reach alarming speeds? I'm sorry you had unobtainable goals and I had unobtainable needs. I'm sorry I have driven you away, I didn't think...I didn't think. But I always took care of your needs, and I looked past when you lied to me and kept you buried in my heart while you disarmed me with your nimble tongue. I've not always been what I am now, not always one to care about or envy all the little things, but you left this gaping hole in me.

I went down the store to find a pound of flesh for my lover. Though she couldn't breathe under her breath I heard her mutter "Love is borne in the thunderstorms, in the flashes of light that keep me up all night. Without you, I couldn't breathe at all, just a shape the corner, just another doll". I don't have a real reason to live and she doesn't have the means, we're a pair of filled dreams. While I wonder what the price is I'll pay at the end all my crimes will be worth our shared time. I find it hard to care for the girl who gave her skin to my love and her blood to the earth. Soon or later she will live on her own when I figure out her heart and I fill up her skull. Eventually, we will both die alone, but we will be together when the clock strikes twelve.

Pretended not to care about the last words you would ever say. The window leaks just right through the heavy drawn shades to draw my eyes on last nights candles and forgotten plates. We spent so long inside a dream of what the future we would hold that when our faces filled with lines we couldn't let the old dreams go. I'm sorry I have driven you away, I didn't think...I didn't think. But I always took care of your needs, and I looked past when you lied to me and I kept you buried in my heart while you disarmed me with your nimble tongue. Well I've not always been what I am now, not always one to care about or envy all the little things, but you left this gaping hole in me. I don't really know where I'll go now just the tile on the floor is such a little amount. It's more the land my feet have purchased and who I've been - and I'm never gonna be those people again. Well the stars overhead are laughing, and I'm gonna make this happen soon. So come on baby and beg me, I mean my dried up eyes are starving.

Well I was walking on a cloud when I saw you through technology. Now I'm lighting rodded down and bottled up, bottled up. I don't think I could fight against you, I'd rather stand next to you anyway. I burn and turn right over and you appear. On the screen you seem so clear, I'd rather you were actually here. I pray today that I'll roll over and you'll be there, I'll weave my fingers through your hair and in your sleep you'll know I care. Well I know, I know, I've wasted so long sleeping in a dream, I forgot that fairy tales can be realities. Because though days and days, and miles and miles away. Before somehow I never knew.

I know about your secret pain. The one beneath your throat that you kept hidden away. All the torrents of guilt you hastily obtained. Just to keep me on the ground. Now I'm a day old, and I can't fit with you. Try to find me on the ground, but I drifted away. The sky is now my house and that's okay with me. I remember back last fall, I would hang around, just to hang myself and slowly die upon your ground. Listen while you laugh and play, with my whole life in ruins, I thought the universe was magnetized and I am shavings. But I am pencil lead, broken off inside your head.

Voice0207 01:57
I wonder if she recollects my name when she gathers up her thoughts for the day? I wonder if she thinks of me at all while she's pulling on her clothes and she is getting up to walk. I know that I am going to burn, but do I want her to burn with me? I am certain that my heart is going to burst, but she's being so god damn happy. She's found away, she's found it. A way to stay okay even though I'm so far away. I'm learning, sometimes I feel a little poison in my heart, that's just dying. I've discovered, food and shelter only bring health to my body - I'm a mirror and you're llight. I tried to swim to you but the distance grew and grew. I learned to fly but your body cursed the air, and you sank into the water and stayed there. I painted scenery; the scenes were always you and me, dancing through some murdered memory. I've grown tired now of lugging this old heart around I swear it weighs a million pounds and leaves me buried in the ground.

One day, when our figures waste away, and we are in the grave. Our bodies are young and our brains don't take much space. Our spirits are whisked away. One day, once the sun had just let up, we couldn't cum anymore. Later on, we were sleeping pretty good. I was filling up with dreams.
