Lansing! Sleepless! Is this what you want? Or is this all you’ve got? You'll stray and I’ll pray That this is what you want Cuz this is all we’ve got Fade to the background and everything blurs all around It’s nothing to write home about and I am always getting down Will you wait for me now? Will everything turn out? The old armoire lyric, we’re sewing seams and sharing spirits And I can barely hear it cuz everyone is overheated, and I'll sway These mannequins are looking homely and I'm feeling a little lonely Fumbling with my house keys This city’s been hard on me

You’re looking at me now and I don't know what to say Medicine from the mouth is poison in the brain Wet black streaks are scarring the side of your face I watch you undress and sleep in the mess you’ve made You’d look prettier dead So I'll take you by the hand and direct you to the bed You strain your lungs into the pillow Crying, “no no no no no no no no no no” After it is done I can see the stains on your teeth And the sides of your face seem to lack all symmetry I will forgive and never forget, I won’t deny my philosophy’s amiss These words are poison delivered through the lips, stating it simply, “ignorance is bliss”

I’ve been suckling for far too long I’ve been slowly letting the fires die down I am smashed and broken I must pick myself together If I have the will, If I can find it still I’ll make the same mistakes, and make it three times more I don’t ask for permission, only for forgiveness I would make amends, but I am such a chore And in my defense I am shattered on the floor I am just a man, whom do I answer for? You catch me playing with myself in the corner I am lost now, I have been mourning my own self Put me in the ground because I’ve been dead awhile now My face has grown old My face has grown old I’m sick to the stomach and I made it so My mind has grown old My mind is necrosed My muscles are atrophied and I made it so My heart has grown cold My heart has grown cold I am a monster and I made it so
