GLASS BRICKS

I try so hard to let go of the past
and the things I thought I'd need are the things that didn't last.
Every morning I wake up and see debris that life has left me.
The things I thought were important are the things that just might disconnect me.
I have to churn disgust so I can throw out nostalgic shit.
Culled memories survive but then they sputter out and quit.
And every evening I go out without old friends that should surround me
while the street lamps hum a eulogy to the light polluted stars around me.

Born to be abused, perpetually the one amused
until I start to count the connections between myself and life's imperfections.
The difference wasn't as far as I thought.

I'd rather stay asleep than get up out of bed
when the days that die descend from the deathless days ahead
and every time I see a birthday card I fucking want to scream.
It's not: "I've gotten older!" - I've been betrayed by what they're supposed to mean.

Stop breathe a breath with me before we part deliberately,
Too stupid to make corrections when we find we've lost our directions.
And the distance wasn't as far as we thought between the nothing we'll have and the whatever-we-got.

Everything will work out is the mantra of the damned.
Everything will work out is the mantra of the damned.
Everything will work out is that the best you planned for me, yeah you and me?

Let it begin.

I don't want to be the driveled name on the glass brick that you've surrounded yourself in
so you can see out but no one can see in. So you can never lose but you can never win.
You can never win.
You can never win.
You can never win.
You can never win.

Born to be abused, perpetually the one amused
until you start to count the connections between yourself and life's imperfections.
The difference wasn't as far as you thought
as you stumble through life hoping you don't get caught.

Stop breathe a breath with me before we part deliberately,
Too stupid to make corrections when we find we've lost our directions.
And the distance wasn't as far as we thought between the nothing we'll have and the whatever-we-got.

Everything will work out is the mantra of the damned.
Everything will work out is the mantra of the damned.
Everything will work out is that the best you planned for me?
