Messages I can hardly read,
Eyes that sigh more than they breathe,
Acid washed, and acid cleaned,
Those thoughts I knew
I didn't need.
I know how i'm going to rebuild my world,
With the sky on the ground, and the birds on the floor,
And a sun-drenched goddess,
Out-of-focus in the light.
But i don't know how I'm gonna make it last,
I could stone myself silly but I'd burn myself fast,
And I ain't got no money to
Escape like that.
Please, please, please,
Just let me know,
If you're really there,
If not, I'll go.
'Cause I don't wanna put
Ourselves through that,
But being alone
Can be so damn sad.
I know how i'm going to rebuild my world,
With the sky on the ground, and the birds on the floor,
And a sun-drenched goddess,
Out-of-focus in the light.
But i don't know how I'm gonna make it last,
I could stone myself silly but I'd burn myself fast,
And I ain't got no money to
Escape like that.
