verisimilitude i know i said i'm fine, but i lied. i know i said i was, said i was fine but i lied.
gridlock i can't seem to get myself there. i can't seem to get myself across your threshold and into your room, across your floorboards and into your bed, across your sheets -- like this ocean wide, like this canyon deep, i can't get inside, cannot even see. tunnel visionary i stand here and i stand here, but you don't recognize... (in broad daylight) i guess i must be invisible to your x-ray eyes. (you must be, you must be, you must be blind.) on grade it must pleasure you, must pleasure you to watch me, watch me crawl for you -- please watch me, watch me crawl for you acrost, across the floor, you bastard. watch me crawl. make me crawl. oh, how i want to crawl for you, crawl to you. it must pleasure you something fierce, something deep, something sick, to see me crawl across the floor, you bastard. watch me crawl. make me crawl. oh, how i want to crawl, crawl to you. no auto focus you refuse to give in; i refuse to give up. we are fading -- fading in this stalemate. you refuse to shut the door; i refuse to walk away. we are fading -- fading in this stalemate. compulsion why can't i stop myself? stop myself from this self-destruction? rid myself, rid myself of these painful relations with you? why can't i (why? why can't i?) stop myself? (control myself?) stop myself from this self-destruction? rid myself, (control myself?) rid myself of these painful relations with you? water glass please, please, please, please, please don't break me. please don't break me. please. small unimportant requests oh, have mercy, have mercy, mercy on me. unrequited would your fingers stretch? stretch across the table? or would you leave the room? if if i ask you, if i ask you for your hand? i might be inclined to beg -- but so what. so what, that won't change your mind. airport please, please hold me. hold me near. oh god, please don't let go of me here. i'm drowning, washed away... washed away. take, take me away -- or stay, stay with me. please, please don't, don't let me go, no. please, please don't, don't let me go. don't no, don't let me go. please don't, don't let go of me. seaweed here you will find my broken body, my broken soul, washed on the shore, torn on the rocks of your disaffection and your neglect. here you will find... dirt i am nothing without you. i am nothing when i am with you. standing -- i'm standing, standing alone, i am. i am nothing without you. i am nothing when i am with you. i am nothing. i am nothing. i am nothing. curious foliage why? why can't you see: i'll be the only one left, the only piece of furniture that you could not break, the single solitary leaf that you could not burn, burn off your ugly tree. i'll be the only one left. i'll be barely breathing, but i'll be there. i'll be barely breathing, but i'll still be there -- holding on, holding on, holding on.
strong winds i am a bough who cannot break. i am a bough who cannot return to straight. (maintain, maintain, maintain in this place) habitually strained. perpetually bent in a strange and awkward way. (maintain in this place) court adjournment do you know i've been here a long, long time? holding on with my tired hands? but i haven't got the strength, i haven't the strength to go on... so, this is what is feels like to let go... so, this is what it feels like to let go... so, this is what it feels like to let it all go, to just let it all go...
