- here's to love and logic two creatures of unceasing cruelty and endless joy
- There's a house across the river/But alas I cannot swim/I'll live my life regretting/That I never jumped in
- I fell into the water and now I'm free
- I don't stare at water anymore/Water doesn't do what it did before/Took me in into the edge of insane when I only meant to swim/ Nearly put a bullet in my brain when the water took me in
- And if it comes to the rain, just be glad you'll smile again
- A preacher pushes me aside and asked to wash my sins/I said no/If He made me in his image/Then he's a failure too.
- I will not be a victim of romance/I will not be a victim of circumstance/Of chance or circumstance or romance/Or a man/Who could get his dirty little hands on me
- Today I will feel something other than regret/Pass me a glass and a half-smoked cigarette
- Wrestling the rope from darkness is no fucking life that I would choose
- That wasn't me for my trying, that was the Devil and his lying/Trying to make me lose my mind
- But I kept on going I had nothing to lose, and I gave up morals when I took up booze/And it's boring to hear of another young truth, and what a typically shit thing to do.
- And I'm sorry to whichever man should meet my sorry state/Watch my steady, lonesome gait and be aware
- been sleeping lonely, spending nights under the stars, Little darling, we're all lonely, we don't all show our scars. It's my heart, and my burden, and I would never bring you down like that. My heart, my burden, I would never bring you down with me
- They’re all loved up on some drug, and I hope that it’s not love— ‘cause I like ‘em messed up and not really there. And I like ‘em roughed up, a little bit fucked up, if it can be arranged… as high as a kite and willing to fight as a man of his age.
- Creativity in its nature is self-indulgent and self-obsessive.
- Keep those thoughts from sight. Follow me into the night. And you can call on me when you need the light
- Don't you be scared of me. I'm nothing but the beast.
- Those of us who are lost and low, I know how you feel, I know it's not right but it's real
- I, who speak awkwardly. Any word if it is heard is not intended to be, Not for him and not for her, And not for them and not for me
- Tonight I choose the beast. Tonight he lies with me.
- We dance the sorrow. Forgive me tomorrow.
- Night after night, day after day, would you watch my body weaken? My mind drift away?
- He screams in the night, I scream in the day. We weep in the evening and lie naked and pray
- Why are you always so sad? Why do I not understand? Why don't I see what it is you see? Why can't I live and just be?
- Ever considered the sea? I heard you had to be strong. Why not float around with me? It won't take you so long
- Rarely I weep, sometimes I must
- I'd leave my rage to the sea and the sun
- But you wouldn't be able to stop me if I feel like running away. Wouldn't be able to stop me if I didn't want to stay
