'Something Unpleasant To Dwell On'
I wished upon a plastic star As far from God as God was far Looked for something unpleasant to dwell on To pass the days that were already gone I'm knee deep in lies that I told myself Sinking inside an empty hell Of greedy eyes and empty smiles But what could I do, there's not a soul for miles So I ran away to a brighter place Where everyone lied and talked at my face Unable to see deeper than the pools Of salty tears from shallow fools I am knee deep in things that I haven't done Wading in memories from when I was younger Dreaming of the things I'd never be But you can't remember what you'll never see So I made a wish on a toxic flame But it flickered out before I could say All the things I cannot let myself hear Cuz I'm too afraid I might have nothing to fear As far from God as God is far Another wish upon a fallen star Another bitter pill I chose to take Another heavy chain I chose to make Another empty day inside my shell Halfway between heaven and hell Something unpleasant to dwell on to make the days go by Something I told myself so that I could cry some morei think this is about feeling sorry for yourself...
