I shatter everything when i want to see my
|
mind i'll pick the pieces up when i get the
|
time but there isn't enough glue only this
|
social lubricant between me and you to
|
stop the friction you've got to learn to
|
whisper if you want people to listen gotta
|
learn to laugh through the harshest conditions
|
as we cry while we all get christened
|
out hearts are broken our eyes are smashed in
|
our minds are tired and we come and go alone
|
regret's in the back of my mind
|
i'm too busy wasting time got nothing to do,
|
i'll wince when i think of you
|
regret returns, a wise teacher but i never learn
|
laugh all you want but don't cry,
|
cuz we're
|
too young to know we're old enough to die
|
it's too bloody anyway
|
it took 35 years to kill himself
|
one moment to take control of his life poetryless
|
the angels steal away the gems hoarding them in agonized prose
|
and gaudy catholic clothes so many ghosts
|
can just wisp away i'm still haunted by
|
count the years with rosary beads thank
|
mary for god speed our hearts are broken
|
our eyes are smashed in our minds are tired
|
and we come and go alone
|
