The day after 

I GOT UP ON THE LONG SIDE OF THE BED,

THINGS MOVED SLOWLY ON MY WAY TO THE DOOR.

BE MINDFUL WHEN YOU HAVE BEES IN YOUR HEAD.

FOR BREAKFAST I HAD AN APPETITE

FOR A TASTE OF HONEY BEER, GRASS JELLY BITES.

I TRIED TO PUSH-UP SOME WEIGHTS LAZILY

I GAVE IT UP ALMOST IMMEDIATELY.

COLD SHOWER, AND HERE COMES THE BEES AGAIN.

AND SO, 

I TRIED,

I TRIED.

 

 I FEEL A BIT OFF TODAY

HOLDING ON A LINE GONE ASTRAY

CAN’T LET IT HAPPEN NO MORE,

I’M STILL KISSING THE FLOOR,

I NEED TO STAND UP TO FACE

THE REALITY OF LOSING GRACE.

I FEEL A BIT OFF TODAY

CRUMBLED IN THE STAIRWAY.

 

I BLEED.

I FEEL 

A PAIN 

I CAN’T EXPLAIN

AND SO, 

I CRY, 

I CRY.

 

 LAST NIGHT, I MISSED MY CHANCE TO BE QUIET

A WORD WAS SAID AND THEN YOU GOT QUIET.

YOU COULD HAVE STAYED; EVEN FLOWERS CAN GROW

IN THE SHADOW OF A DARK VOLCANO.

YOU ASKED ME TO CHOOSE

BETWEEN LOVE AND BOOZE

AND SO,

I LIED, 

I LIED. 

 

I FEEL A BIT OFF TODAY

HOLDING ON A LINE GONE ASTRAY

CAN’T LET IT HAPPEN NO MORE,

I’M STILL KISSING THE FLOOR,

I NEED TO STAND UP TO FACE

THE REALITY OF LOSING GRACE.

I FEEL A BIT OFF TODAY

CRUMBLED IN THE STAIRWAY.

 

I BLEED.

I FEEL 

A PAIN 

I CAN’T EXPLAIN

AND SO, 

I CRY, 

I CRY.

 

I PLEAD

I KNEEL

IN VAIN

FOR US AGAIN

AND SO, 

I CRY, 

I CRY.
