Care
Oh, Hi, I didn’t think I’d see you here,
I mean,
Stood here praying
I think I’m out of touch these days
What the hell am I saying?
Maybe I’ll just drink,
‘Cause who the hell would pray?
I see you, you say:
“Don’t drink the pain away”
Whatever…
Whatever…
I remember,
A day before therapy was status
I would read that I barely understood,
But it shot down my hurt,
While I hid
I don’t do Jack s*it anymore
But if I did,
I’d be doing it tonight, for sure,
For sure…
For sure…
I can’t help but thinking about how,
My time here’s stood still
Daydream, and scheming,
F*ck! I wanna kill
I move so slow,
I’m stood mourning
What I didn’t know
Go! Go!
Go… Go…
Numb me! My body go numb!
Numb me! My body go numb!
Drown me! In you, I succumb!
Whatever… Whatever…
There’s this lake that I passed,
On the way to my work
Surrounded by thick grass,
Surrounding earth
My happiest space,
So warm and peaceful,
F*cking prolific!
They’re watching,
They’re waiting,
‘Til at last I am weak,
Then behind me, they drown me
To weak to bastard speak!
At her eulogy
She can drown in my Hell
They would disown my ing sense of self,
I am a clown…
Drown my Hell…
Numb me! My body go numb!
To you I bastard succumb!
Numb me! My body go numb!
To you I bastard succumb!
I need you! My body go numb!
I am screaming! My body go numb!
I’m drowning! I’m underwater!
You don’t care…
Whatever…
How the Hell did you get here?
You’re the only one what’s coming
I’ll give you a drag of my cigarette,
Me, you’re shaming
I mean - hey I’m numb
So what if I’m dumb?
She can’t hear me say:
“I’ll ‘til my pain’s away,
I’ll drink ‘til my pain’s away,”
I’m crying now, I should have told her I cared,
I’m crying… I should have told her I cared…
