How I Feel

I say, "A drink might help me sleep."
I say, "I don't sleep much at all these days."
I say, "It's cold. Besides, I'm broken."
Hard as earth, the love of the past
The worth of the world has frozen still
Like the sheet of ice collecting on the windshield of my car
Where I caught my reflection captured in glass
A perfect broken image of the future envisioned in the past
Corrupted by fate now, fractured, and fading away

Replace, replace, replace
All I felt promised to me
To be the one who figured it out
Who knew what to do
Who knew how to feel and
Felt that love of the past
The worth of the world
Just set it ablaze and
Thaw me out

Dim lit in a room dark red, where I said
"Can't seem to break off from the way I felt, but
I guess you understand, man."
We had no chance
I'm tired of fighting with the hand I've been dealt

So, I take the cards they give me
And keep my protest on the inside of my mouth
If the best I can do ain't gonna stop what's coming
What's the point in trying to change how the hand plays out?

Don't we all just die?
Don't we all? Don't we all?
Don't we all just die?
Don't we all? Don't we all?
When you looked at the light
Did it hurt your eyes? Did it hurt your eyes?
When you looked at the light
Did it hurt you
Like it hurt me?
