lyrics

Where have I gone wrong?
If I could place, a single point in time

Was it when I fucked the runaway?
Was it when I chased the blue flame?
Was it when I craved to smash the skull
of he who took my love away from me?

Or was it long, long before,
deep in the shadows of the past?

I heard the news,
ten thousand died,
what does it matter? They are just scraps of flesh,
floating on this rock they call earth,
washing on the empty shores of space

I sit in my house all day all night,
or walking aimlessly down the street.
I remember when I used to drink all day, it was fun in its way,
now I don't drink, what's the point?
Oblivion is the same as lucidity,
confusion is the same as the sharpest clarity

My landlord said I have one more week,
after that I'm in the streets.
It doesn't matter, not a little bit.

Sometimes a soft wind blows by,
carrying a song I almost recognize,
a scent, a touch, a piece of string,
and I look around, and my heart grows cold,
and I can almost feel, but it slips away

and yet I live, I must have eaten and drank,
I'm sure I breath, else I would have died.
Or maybe I'm dead, and I'm just a ghost,
it is impossible to tell.
I can ask someone, if they can see me,
but what's the point,
I do not care
