M Tagged J What am I accomplishing? Everything I want to say comes back to me again Just a song for you to sing when everything encountering me goes down this way Times are getting steady, I'm ready for the better days to sweep me up But the room is darkening and at dawn they're just pictures of yourself I'm not believing what I'm seeing Just a picture of your brilliance, bathed in pretense Just a vision of your arrogance, all at once The reason for our abstinence is obstinence And it's challenging my confidence Common says says it'll never happen, it'll never happen, it'll never happen It is sinking into me, the buzzing is a symphony in my ears Sometimes you hear a sound that reminds you and resounds for a thousand years Pots and pans are banging, the echoes start hanging from the chandeliers The light is like razor blades, slicing through my shades as morning nears You're burned on the back of my eyelids Just a picture of your breath, I want to go on a binge Your eyes are dark in death, your hair smells like a syringe And while we're dancing opposites, I cash in on whatever's free Not that I'm alright with it, but I say it's going to be Alright for you, alright for me There's a holiday today in the pharmacy And I know it sounds ridiculous, I'm getting off the fence I hope we both can handle us, I'm nodding nonsense Was pain really the catalyst? 'Rents write it off as circumstance I clench my fist to reminisce, I'm washing in your permanence I don't disagree I don't disagree Better paintings of you than photgraphs of me
