lyrics

When I woke up
Everyone was dead
Silent as a stab wound
Or loud as throw up in their bed
I arranged their bodies as an audience
and I performed a spoken word piece
Something to make sure that they still noticed me
When I sat down
My ears wouldn't stop bleeding
My knees wouldn't work like they used to,
All well wishes were decieving
Divisive and contrived,
I'd spent my nights on cardboard boxes
Desperate to be right in an ugly world

Why did I end on the one?
I always end on the one,
I should've ended on the four
Why did I end on the one?
You were making me nervous
I should've ended on the four

When I passed out
I was finally happy
No more gnats to gnaw on my skin
No more hands to hurt me
It felt almost like religion,
I'd found a good thing to believe in
I just gotta give it a trendy name
So it can become all the rage
When I stepped out
To smoke my last, last, last, last cigarette
I breathed out deep into the sky,
The night time angry and slow to forget
There were mothballs on the hardwood
and hornets nests to hold my head
My gruesome hadn't grown pity
and my fear grew eight long fucking legs

Why did I end on the one?
I always end on the one,
I should've ended on the four
Why did I end on the one?
You were making me nervous
and my nerves and I all fell to the floor
and everything grew cold and wet
and sat there for hours and hours more
Why did I end on the one?
A single beat too late,
I gotta know when to stop
Why did I fall for the gun?
All my limbs felt like anchors
and met the pool in a belly-flop
and there's something cold,
There's something mean,
There's something just thinking about the top

Why did I end on the one?

I hold on tight,
and I close my eyes
As I'm promised that the end comes for us all
I hold on tight,
and I close my eyes
I ended on the four but in the end I got the wall

//

So lay down your love
and lay down for sleep
Because when you wake up
You'll be more free of me
Climb out of bed
Join hands in streets
"The plague is dead,
Long live those piss soaked fucking sheets!"
