So I’ve got these things that eat me up inside
I’ve got these things that chew
I lied when I said that all of this helps
the words just concrete all the lies in my head
I saw a man you knew
he said that he might die today
take a leap off the Howard Street Bridge
said it might be easier that way
but we all have our path
towards flight towards fancy
towards the Life that we’re Living
or the lie that we Live
if we believe in it
it’ll never die
Keep your eyes closed
don’t listen to these words
you’ll never know
when they’re sung about you
I’ll keep my eyes closed
there are no pictures of me here
no guilt but I’m angry that I’ll fade
no guilt but I’m angry that I’ll fade
we were thick like our family is thick
we were thick like our bodies are thick
with Life with flesh with water and meat
the heat in my heart strikes hard to my heartbeat
beating my blood there’s blood on my hands
there’s blood in my heart there’s blood on my head
and it’s hard to see how we ever did get so thin
I’ll keep my eyes closed
there are no pictures
