I will poison myself Another coughing, shaking fit in a bathroom That is spinning And I close the door And I rest my head on the tile floor Sickness and sleep turning me cooooold And I'm stilllll nottt sure Is there some better place I could be heading towards? ...Where the selfishly sick and self-absorbeddddddddddddddddd * Are welcome verse 2 I saw the future once I was drunk in a phone booth My eyes were wet and red But I could not tell what was said And through the screams of the traffic Voices carried Saying "I'm sorry" On a day so gray it's black inside Watching churches on TV In a coma you don't dream You just hope that someone sits with you Babies turn blue when they're ignored Like the sky on summer days Before you turn and walk away It has changed you So tonight to compensate, I will...
