So this is Life

The room is spinning and I don’t know what to do
My heart hurts like my head and I’m so thru
I feel drunk with rumors and words of spite
A long time to be heard in the dark night

My hair’s in my face and I feel so bad
And you’re taking me off to a far land
My heart shakes inside my body as I try to hide
Nothing can hold me, at least nothing I’ve tried

You’re bursting all my bubbles and there’s nothing I can do
I’m sad and tired and you’re make my life midnight blue
The song you sing has this inexplicable feel it’s wrapped in
For no explained reason the tears are welling up because of your sin

And I wonder what love is, because I didn’t know it would hurt
The expression of this was never really clear to me, it was actually rather curt
I don’t know what I want anymore and it’s driving me crazy as I think
I’m sure it would all be fixed in a simple stupor- if I was dumb enough to drink

But then again, I never was dumb; I’ve known it’s always been wrong
No one listens to me and I convert into something small and cry in song
Tear stains mark so many of my faces, even the rarest sort
I just don’t seem happy maybe because of my walls an their crumbling support

Mother’s in the kitchen cooking all our food
Father’s in the basement, the TV’s image match his mood
I know the circumstances and I know the rules
But we’re building a house of cards and we’re all playing fools

There’s no more room now for sea tasting tears
The only thing that’s left is eating up my fears
Numbness if the feeling now- it’s so strange and yet so known
A from the tiniest seed this tremendous and great thing has grown

and if i had to choose between the whole world and you- there would be no competition
