you wake up from like a really weird nightmare, and it's 5am, and the sun's starting to come up a little just enough to make it hard to fall back asleep but not enough to make it easy to wake up singing soft songs to a synchronized bomb as the world goes on and on and on god this is hopeless your pretty painted poetry is starting to grow on me well it's not anymore but it was when i wrote this lyric and i don't know how to be anything other than this cover up cover up now cover up c-cover up now keep one verse change the rest your voice doesn't work go get some death you'll never learn you'll never learn you'll never you aren't capable maybe i should've wrote these lyrics maybe i should've wrote this song maybe i should've not plagiarized from myself is it? i hid my corpse in a journal filled with drawn and painted characters (i don't think it is.) i'll record another part and i'll imagine a montage that's why it all changes so much it's showing progress i'm not making progress but we've all got lies i mean that's okay everything is gonna be better some day at least i hope and then i saw you there you were standing somewhere in my line of sight! and then i saw you there what the hell did i do this for! and then you descend down, down into the world, maybe it's the depths of hell maybe it's just a cave somewhere but down you go i'm making a movie with people you can't see and they look so distraught when you talk, when you talk talk talk to them (cover up, cover up now) behind the scenes footage, directors commentary, (cover up, c-cover up now) thrown in a fire thrown in a fire (cover up, cover up now) deleted scenes, things you'll never see, (cover up, c-cover up now) thrown in a fire thrown in a fire you still don't know where you are and you're still down down down down dead and the fire burns when it takes your flesh but you'll be reborn there is no more death and when you're down you can take one final breath this is not a way out this is just another way back in get you back to where you've been you can't escape life and then you don't know really know what happens cover me in the way you talk and the way you walk it's a way of life and let me know that you're there for me let me know that you're there oh what does it take to get away from here! (don't date people who like your music/art) and then you were reborn! (death is gone, left us here) and then there you were you standing right where you were meant to be! (death is gone, left us here)
