I remember when you were happy
I remember when you were happy
What happened to you when
I was away
You will never be whole again
You will never be whole again
When the absurdity hits you
You will never be whole again
(Walk out that door)
So be truthful with yourself
Don't be the fool if you can
There's nothing left for you here
You will live in the dark
You will never escape
Your own shadow
This is all your fault
This is all your fault
You left a piece of yourself
Don't try to trick anyone
(I'll never be who I once was)

Could you just try to say something
I'll take anything you've got
I know that you're not used to talking
But you know that I'm not used to not
But it got so bad that I'm singing
And I'll never show you what I've got
I wish you could talk
I wish you could talk
I wish you could talk
I wish you could talk
I wish you could talk
I wish you could talk
I wish you could talk
I wish you could talk
I hate that I still allow these things
To get to me
After all of this time
I know that you're not used to talking
But you know that I'm not used to not
But it got so bad that I'm singing
When I finish this track, I hope it'll be gone

And the friends that I make outside
Are exceptions to a rule that dictates how
I talk to everyone no matter the person
In the same way, you get what you get
I didn't think that I'd live past 14
But here I am singing into a Tascam
Formulating these lines to have an equal
Balance of misery and fun
You caught me smiling
Again
(What's my fucking problem?)
(I hate your receptionist
She looks at me like I'm r-------
When I'm filling out your forms)
(You will bear witness)
You caught me smiling
Again
One of these days you'll kill me for real
(And the friends that I make outside
Are exceptions to a rule that dictates how)
There's no point in being poetic
One of these days you'll kill me for real

I'm tired of being bitter, I just want to be saved
I will bathe in a pool of my own filth
I'll mumble these words underneath my breath
When I get home I'd hate to forget
This tune always plays inside my head
But I'll never...

When you sent me a package for my birthday
I kept every scrap and tore the sticker away
And it tore off halfway and left some residue but it's okay
It still says your name and your address and that's fine by me
I kept the newspaper too, and the plastic
Because I know it was your hands that wrapped it
And I wish that I could tell you better some way
But I don't have the faintest clue what I'd say
And I don't know what I'll do
And I don't know what I'm good at anymore
But I don't care, and I won't let it worry me
I don't care, and I won't let it worry me
I don't hate myself because you love me
And I wish that I could say that word more freely
But I don't care, and I won't let it worry me
I don't care, I won't let it worry me

I never knew you at your best
I hope you get some rest
I heard that you detest
The indignities of your condition
I wasn't there at the end
And you bequeathed to the wrong name
And I wish I got to know you better
But it's okay, it's all okay
All these beautiful things
All these beautiful things
Your family
And the color yellow
I'm scared of death again
It took too long to get here
I hope you're comfortable
Wherever you are
I wasn't there at the end
And you bequeathed to the wrong name
And I never got to know you better
I wish I got to know you better
I don't know who I am
I don't really know who you were
I saw pictures of you on the wall
Didn't recognize you at first
I don't believe in heaven
But I think you'll hear my words
If I sing this hard enough
A piece of you will come back down
I don't believe in heaven
But I think you'll hear my words
If I sing this hard enough
A piece of you will come back down
