Mash up

Well it's been ten years and a thousand tears

Yesterday is history and tomorrow's a mystery

It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this? It was only a kiss

I fell apart in your arms for the last time

Good times come and good times go

Left alone to deal with all the pain-drenched

sorrowed relief, bite the lip just forget the bleeding

You said you loved me as you left me

You act like you never had love, and you want me to go without

So I sit here at the edge of my bed

I strum my guitar and I sing

an outlaw love song

Thinkin' bout what you're doin' now

and when you're coming back

I'm high on misery, can't you see?

Coffee and cigarettes are my only escape

I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl

I gave my life away

Hung down with the freaks and ghouls

I spent all my money, I've been drinking since a half past noon

I'm born to lose, I'm destined to fail

This pain it visits almost nightly

Making friends with the shadows on my wall

Assembling their philosophies on pieces of broken memories

This house is haunted, it's so pathetic, it makes no sense at all

Your friends say "what is it? You look like you've seen a ghost"

You better get your shit together!

It sure as hell ain't normal, but we deal, we deal

And whatever pain may come, today this ends

Where are you now? And I'm so sorry, I cannot sleep, I cannot dream tonight, I need somebody and always

Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface

This sick strange darkness, comes creeping on, so haunting every time

The kind of darkness that haunts a hundred year old house

Take me down to the river-bend, wash the poison from off my skin, show me how to be whole again

Cause these words are knives that often leave scars

Drop me down in the dream below,

You've got to promise not to stop when I say when

Your secrets keep you safe,

your lies keep you alive

Who do you need? Who do you love?

When you come undone

Everywhere I go, I carry this coffin just in case

Just close your eyes and pretend that you're already dead, so that you can sleep with a smile

I'm missing you so much I'll see you die tonight

I'm ready for the funeral

No one dared disturb the silence

Isn't everything wonderful now?

See the world in green and blue

Maybe then you might see what it's like

This was no accident,

this was a therapeutic chain of events
