To wallow in pain

Used to make me feel like I wasn’t the same

I thought I was special cause it hurt so much to be part of the game

Well the earth took me in and he swallowed me whole and made me

Feel warm

He said

‘Man, the cold days are coming and your worry is the uniform’



How I wish I would die

How I wish I would die today



So he showed me a picture of a boy he had known with a beautiful face

And no one had loved him

But the earth took the picture to its hearts secret place

He forgot the boy and he gave up his soul and the image was all

He said

‘Man, this is perfect beauty and it lives on beyond your last fall’



The fear, the fear will keep me alive

The fear in my proud and envious eyes

That I might be the same, I cannot let go of my chair

My lungs push hard against my ribs to keep the truth in the air
