STARES TO NOWHERE

13.13

The plastic crumbles and the walls fall in
The sidewalk's melting I begin to spin
You know where I'm going and
You know where I've been
My mind's exploding like it's never been
The sidewalk's melting I begin to spin
I can't look down, I might fall in
I'm looking up but I'm feeling down
I'm standing still but still falling down
The plastic crumbles and the walls fall in
The sidewalk's melting I begin to spin
I'm looking up but I'm feeling down
I'm standing still but still falling down
On the stares that lead to Nowhere
I'm staring into Nowhere
On the stares that lead to Nowhere

3X3

	How does, who does, do we choose one why can't I have more than one to see to say to do what to see you once a daydream stay too... why can't you see what I'm saying why can't I have more than one She can't, doesn't want to see me hanging on your every movement... Nothing can become of nothing I give you all you give me nothing why can't we just try and do it when it's only for a moment it don't last...don't go away nothing to do or to say She can't, doesn't want to see me hanging on your every movement... Do it once, please go away it doesn't matter anyway just for you to be my own for a moment all alone just as 3x3x3 I love you and she hates me....

THIS SIDE OF NOWHERE

	Dead still the hour in the middle of the day Dead still the horror in the middle of the day Pulling at your collar, pulling at your hair You've got to find a way to get out of there What do you do when your legs won't run When you want to scream but you can't find your tongue Middle of nowhere, middle of the night You've got to find a way to get out of there Take it from strangers and see what you get What do you want...well I bet that you get it Ride past the highway hiding forever I'm sleeping on this side of going nowhere Slow down the clock in the middle of the night Close off the world in the middle of the night Pitch black murder in the dead of the night You've got to find a way to get out of there

SNAKEPIT BREAKDOWN

	He slits my throat and drinks my blood and says that this just ain't enough It doesn't matter anyhow It doesn't matter anyhow My wrists are tied above my head He says He loves me when I'm dead It doesn't matter anyhow cause it don't hurt if you don't fall He slams my head into the wall my body slumps, it slides I fall I couldn't see, I couldn't think If this, my love, is you, it stinks He says He'll be there when I die to stick a needle in my eye He says He loves me when I'm dead so He just kills me until then He calls me baby, twisted lies and says that now I'm going to die He breaks apart, cuts me in two I say forget it, now we're through don't poke the holes inside my head my heart is bursting out of them don't poke the holes inside my heart my head is bursting out of them He says he loves me when I'm dead so He just kills me until then.

SUICIDE OCEAN

	The clock died at a quarter to Midnight frozen angels on my bedpost tripping over some senseless beggar a simple case of mistaken face my how nothing changes different men in the same positions. Time died at a quarter to Midnight the scent of a ghost fills the air the clock on the wall broke down to fall my bleeding head on the baseboard my how nothing changes different men in the same positions. Just this side of Motel's End at Suicide Ocean.

LOCK YOUR DOOR

	I would not like to not know lock your door I would not like to not know lock your door Shut up and die I wish it was me prisoner of my own demise Kiss the bride and make her cry roll over and die bye bye baby bye bye I could almost cry like tears of blood and slowly it evaporates sometime to true the moment passes like dawn to dusk like rust to ashes inside torn down the soul the walls the hallowed bodied evening sprawls across the rock across the dark I could.... I could almost cry like tears of blood and slowly it evaporates without a trace without a scar sometimes too blue the moment passes overhead, so undetected without default, with no perfection I could close my eyes and sleep forever locked inside this secret silence whisper deep inside my head slow motion sick until tomorrow rewind, erase and nothing remains the way that nothing ever does every face is familiar in the dark

AFRAID OF YOUR COMPANY

	13 Dimensions If we stretched this hour it would go on forever once more skewered coming out of both sides It's a day of waiting... waiting two plus three and here I go again what will follow yes I know all of the answers and I'll tell you no lies... I'm afraid of your company I never see you where you are You're never at where I am I want you to be here you have to stay at home... save it you say save it for another day... it's safer in the day it's safer in the day at least for another day.... A fly in the butter screams my name everything just came two steps too close slit your wrist to save your neck I'm mouth to mouth with a corpse From here to Eternity and then back again something snapped inside my head spit it out on the baseboard a shot in the dark in the back of my brain
