The Priceless Void

Listen to me now
There'll be a lot of I and so much less of you
You're a fucking piece of shit,
draining, sadistic, sociopathic, asshole
Give me one moment as I attend your every last command

It came to face me once again
It's now just behind this door
Waiting to catch me as I crawl
It came to face me once again

Beyond this scope you'll see
What else we should be
I'm getting closer to the edge now
Can't you see I'm right here on the ledge

It came to face me once again
It's now just behind this door
Waiting to catch me as I crawl
It came to face me once again

I'll wait the river pass over me

You are the light that makes it shine
The energy that makes it bright
But then, well, you weren't there now were you?
How I'd love to be inside your world

Now, I'm not the only one I know that
Just a slight grain of sand in your immense disdain
Underground, Wednesday afternoon, pay up front, no glamour
Now that's not at all what I had envisioned

Years of dreaming, years of yearning, but well this is it
I thought I would like it, I thought it would save me
The guilt, the shame, the pressure and the pain
Lying still waiting for the light to turn off

Your broken childhood is splattered on the floor
I can't say anything else but sorry, just look around you
A simple goodnight sparks the anger for me to die
So you're never going to answer me, is that just it?
Drag me away from here and leave me by the side of the road

There's a thing creeping up on me,
it's smiling to dawn, but on this sunrise I'll be gone
You do it wrong every goddamn time, you should have gone to the ledge
You're glitching, honey,
your eyes are twitching, my wrists are bleeding
Everything is red as it fades to black

This metropolis is now gray, as it stands on the ashes of yesterday
Paranoia's standing right by your doorway
Now, calm down, child, this is all going to be okay
Here's your fucking ashtray
