lights go off
cameras on
wave back home:
"hi mom!!"
can't say no
can't move on
wave back home:
--
don't pretend we won't fade away
why act like we're here to stay?
yr transfixed on all the pain
why act like it's here to stay?
yea i kno u i met u once in a bad dream
yea u found us we were playing with razors in the bathroom
yea u can't change what happened -- so what???
but u can change what happens -- rite now
they'll cum knocking - they've been looking 4 us
no u can't stop them they're doing what they love
we're just like animals waiting to get caught
i'm not paranoid but maybe i smoked too much

hi dad -
i'm so happy u never told me
the hardest part of being alive
is pretending that yr interested at all
at not doing what u want
and not doing what u love
i mean that just has 2 suck
how do u even wake up at 7am every day like a machine --
in school the teachers made me tired
my friends they kept me going when i felt like dying -
but now they're strangers to me again
yea i'm better now i don't need to lean on them -
when i'm not awake i find them there
it's like it's where they've always been i see their faces like running paint on a canvas
dad u said comfortably numb was written 4 u
i don't miss my childhood cuz i never needed one
yea we used to be so fucked up
screaming at each other for what?
dad i hope i never have to see u go
dad i pray that death picks me first
dad its hard 4 me to even sing the words
dad i pray that i go first--
hi dad,
i'm so happy i had to learn
that the worst time of our lives
was not doing what we love --

i thot i couldn't breathe
but its just cuz yr w/me
it's okay don't feel bad
it's just the way my mother raised me
you can't even be alone in a room w/yr thoughts
i can't even be with you if u won't shut up
so don't take this the wrong way yr just not one of us
so don't take it the wrong way -- yr just not 1 of us..
u say it's complicated but no no -- yr just dumb
u call the doctor when u have a cough -
i call my bros and then we smoke sum blunts --.

its not the same thank God i grew, thank God im not u, thank God im on my own, been times i hate myself -- those times i loved u too lol - and now i laugh and think: thank God i'm not u :)
i act like i'm dying --
its just a joke: no one cares how u feel, no one cares what u want, it made me cold in my heart, it helped me stand in the room - when God or whoever finds u, i know they're glad they're not u - i know im glad im not u :)
and i act like i'm dying..

i said something but it sounded more like an echo -- reflecting photos in yr phone you scroll thru like i'm even looking / like i really, truly, care..
but i only care that my family's straight - not how yr stomach feels today..wait a sec, here's a WILD guess:
i wish we all could say nothing cuz that would say it all
the reason life's so funny: (heheheh hahahah)
we never found that out :(
the one trick pony that u became:
it used 2 make them laugh but now they see the pain.
does it make u happy to drink once a day?
is that the only thing u look forward to? the only thing u wanna do?
or are u the best at it: being boring and full of shit..?

u say they're make believe
well, i can't tell what's real --
"they're just like a song u kno
just like that song on the radio.."
yea yea yea ! fuck my dreams!!
ill sleep when i'm undead
spend yr life chasing them
ill be up all night again --

sometimes i wonder on the other side do they hear us?
can they see our face can they touch our skin?
when we sing do they sing along?
i've been having visions of you now -
no wonder why u never wrote back .
mite as well jus bury me too / can't stand it here i can't stand it w/o u-
cuz -
no one's as real as they say --
never had a choice had to make shit happen
life goes on whether yr here or not
i spoke to God he told me: "yea, i gotchu"--
u can't be gone cuz everyday i listen 2 u :)
