Closer
Time heals all, but today is still the same
The clouds are still gathering, the rain is still pouring down
I pour some in my cup as I sit here on the park bench
Watching the kids play,
Watching how they haven’t fucked up yet
Innocence owns all, ignorance is their bliss
Why have I not gone straight into the ground yet ?
Six feet below everyone else is where my heart is
So this is where I lie,
So this is where I’ll stay
And if you ever come back, I guess I’ll be ok
But you're not, But you're not, and this is where I’ll die
In a constant state of emotional unbalance
That never caught your eye
I guess I’m crazy, and I know it’s wrong to say
How miserable I am when you're away
But you're not, but you're not, and this is where I’ll say
I give up. I give up, I finally gave up
Today
The clouds are still gathering, the rain is still pouring down
I pour some in my cup as I sit here on the park bench
Watching the kids play,
Watching how they haven’t fucked up yet
Innocence owns all, ignorance is their bliss
Why have I not gone straight into the ground yet ?
Six feet below everyone else is where my heart is
So this is where I lie,
So this is where I’ll stay
And if you ever come back, I guess I’ll be ok
But you're not, But you're not, and this is where I’ll die
In a constant state of emotional unbalance
That never caught your eye
I guess I’m crazy, and I know it’s wrong to say
How miserable I am when you're away
But you're not, but you're not, and this is where I’ll say
I give up. I give up, I finally gave up
Today
