Think.

Give me a reason,
A reason to rise.
Give me a reason
To open my eyes.
Give me a reason
To hope that someday
I'll have a reason
For you when you say
There is no reason
But you.

But you, you
You.
You prophecy
You mockery
Of life and love
You loss.
You sedentary
Ordinary
Day old
Weekended
Lump of life.
Lieing in my bed
Lieing in my head
Lieing like I'm dead
Dead

And gone.

No, I ain't gonna rise
I ain't got no reason
To open no eyes
Just gonna lie here til you realize
Reason ain't no reason
To live.

Why live?
Why love?
Why laugh and cry?
Seems we'd all best up'n die
Cause where's there's no will
There ain't no way
You'll get my heart
And soul today
Ain't getting nothin', long as I live
Ain't got no reason
Ain't gotta forgive.

But Christ, I forgive you.
I forgive you your Frankensteins
Your Palestines
Holy Landmines
Left behind
For me.
I forgive you.
I forgive you, I forgive you, I forgive you, I
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm so so so sorry
I... I don't know,
I'm just sorry.
I just want it all to... stop.
Oh, Hell.
What am I doing?
What have I done wrong?
Why is it taking so fucking long
To find you
To find you
Found you
All around you
Loving every sin
But never any sinner.

Cut my highs on Occam's Razor
Can't see the blood
Don't seem to phase her
Don't seem to make you stop and think
That maybe life ain't bout the brink
That maybe life ought best be lived
And death
Ought best be buried.

I hope you enjoy that tourniquette
That "Don't Stop Yet"
That's getting off
Cutting off
The beats and blood
From home.
There's cutting highs
And cutting eyes
And, baby, we're both blind.

Once was blind
Now I can't see
The pain the world done caused to me
World upon my shoulders
Heart upon my chest
I think it's all just too much weight
I just can't get no rest
Can't get no rest til I done proved
I'm innocent.

Innocent til proven human
Proven consumin'
The world away.
Just melts
And oozes
Melts
And cruises
Down your furrowed brow
Down your curvy chest
My soul! Abreast!
My soul! My world
Body unfurled
Waiting to be burned.
That world just melts
Just melts
Just molts
Your wings away.

You clipped my wings,
You horrid child
Went running wild
And tripped
And fell
And then, oh Hell,
You put my mind's eye out.
Momma done warned you
Not to play with snatches.

Won myself a trophy wife
And locked her up inside
Let the neighbors come and see
Before the poor thing died.
Let the folks back home just think
That maybe I done won some race
Maybe I warn't the disgrace
I'd said I'd always be.

Tain't right, Tain't fair
To have to care
To have to dare
Be wrong.
To have to think
It might not work
(Or even worse, it might)
So long!
Farewell!
Good by the by
I'll see ya someday
And laugh and laugh
About the way
About the way we played tag
With hearts.

You're it!
Unless, you know,
You say you're not
Playing this game no more.

Jesus Christ, you're one sick dude
You saved my soul, but then accrued
A penchant for just a bit more
Than any man could quite afford.
Any man, of course,
But you.

Give me a reason
To go back to sleep
Give me a reason
That won't make me weep
Give me a reason
Give me a way
To wake each morning
Get up, and say

Today, I'll make life beautiful.
Today, I'll truly live.
Today, I'll laugh,
Today, I'll smile,
Today, I shall forgive.
Today, I will not hurt my self or the human race
Today, I will not fear the end,
Today, I shan't deface.
Today, terror is not my guide
Today hatred's not my way
Today I rise, look in your eyes,
Today, again, I'll say
I love you.

At least, I'd like to

Think.
