spent the night with some girl i didn't like woke up singing loud to Mack the Knife last night i tried to end up back at your place but i ended up at mine, cause someone picked a fight it's gonna be alright makes me feel like crying wanna know why people walk around pretending they're not dying i knew a girl who knew a girl who strung herself up like a kite and she was alright, until she wasn't. walk the line, go on, give it a try keep your toes pointed forward toward the light on the final flight there's blood on the stairs there's butter in the gutter from someone's cheap affairs and there's fun facts like when you're in the air, you peak like you're on top of someone gasping in your hair hold on, hold on closer stay with me, i want a partner on the dancefloor i want to bet more i want to give more i'm not sure more and more wander through dark rooms asking people if there's room i could see the light, it's dancing in the ceiling this is what it's like to look up from the bottom of the ocean and see that the sun has broken and i can see your face when i close my eyes it's burnt there on my eyelids i feel your back running through my hands i count my blessings before they're matched some are in darkness others are in light see the ones in brightness those dark ones fade from sight.

Mukhtata, you were right all along. never get out of bed. Mukhtata, you were right all along. i don’t have any friends. my friends don’t have any friends taking the pain day by day, and everything is grey. i can't take this wind can't take this rain handle this life what i do now is not up to me not up to you we'll just wait and see Are you happy? Are you aware? Are you at home? Are you satisfied? Are you lonely? Jesus Christ, could this be more lonely? Jesus Christ, could we be more lonely?

sorry (in advance) 01:52

i'm sorry in advance, i know not everything is what it seems at first glace. you're stricken by my stance. attained it all by chance, and i can't help but be confused by the expanse of this world. and no one knows just truly how far we'll go to prove one single point, and there's no counting how much to show. i'll show it all off and then i'll show it all off again. and it just might break you, it might kill you but then again, i'm sorry in advance.
