Tired of Being So Tired

There's a sad song playing there
In the speakers above the stairs
I asked him if he's alright
And can he meet me there tomorrow night

Someplace we could be alone
He'd never talk to me over the phone
He slides down to the cold cold tile
The wall swallows his backbone

Says is this really all there is
First it's a sigh but then I guess it's a kiss
I was in love but it didn't last
I fell for him until the feeling passed

I check his pulse and his heart beats slow
It doesn't click with the ebb and flow
He says he's tired almost every day
He's tried to kill himself in every way

I am tired of being so tired
Yeah he said just what he said
His tears are soaked up rainclouds
That were misled to his head

I am not an evil person
I feel I'm not even human at all
He said just what he said
Then I patched him up and sent him home

Where there's a lock keeping our hands pure
There is a noose hanging over the door
He's chasing veins up both my legs
With his clenched fists on the dance floor

When you first saw me in the light
You blew a kiss and turned ghost-white
Now there's a heart necklace split between us
I said there's lots of a pain between us

Yeah there is pain that shifts between us
Round and round my little head
You pulled me down beneath the covers
And dragged me out of bed

And I check his pulse and his heart beats slow
Open his chest and watch it glow
He says he's tired almost every day
He's tried to kill himself in every way

I am tired of being so tired
Yeah he said just what he said
I wake up and I'm still here
And things could be better if I was dead

I am not an evil person
And I don't mean myself no harm
He said just what he said
And I pulled the sleeves down off his arms

Breaking out of silence
Leaving in the madness
Lift your voice so quiet
Covers me with sadness

Breaking out of silence
Leaving in the madness
Lift your voice so quiet
Covers me with sadness

Breaking out of silence
Leaving in the madness
Lift your voice so quiet
Covers me with sadness

Breaking out of silence
Leaving in the madness
Lift your voice so quiet
Covers me with sadness

Breaking out of silence
Leaving in the madness
Lift your voice so quiet
Covers me with sadness

Breaking out of silence
Leaving in the madness
Lift your voice so quiet
Covers me with sadness

Breaking out of silence
Leaving in the madness
Lift your voice so quiet
Covers me with sadness

Breaking out of silence
Leaving in the madness
Lift your voice so quiet
Covers me with sadness

Yeah and so I think it's like expecting your death and seeing what's going to kill you
