"eternal return"  I want to know what keeps you up at night I lost something in the hills  the other side as I walk I see you lean as I walk I see you lean you on the day of execution I'll be counting down the hours and on the day of execution I'll be spitting out the hours worthless passerby  I'd rather be the hammer than the nail I'd rather be the one who hits I'd rather be the one who hits than be hit blackened fucking lungs blew it all in her face if I'm not around to hear it, that's the way it goes if i'm not around to see you that's the way it goes a million things I should've said but the time was never right a million things I should've done, but you always worked on me you were a fly on the wall at all my parties and you heard all my conversations I’ve been spending the last five years trying to forget about you I looked for you in every page   twenty dollars in the bank two weeks all paid for what's my problem got twenty dollars in the bank two weeks all paid for what’s my mother fucking  you aint over til you’re over I'm over I'm over I'm over you aint over til you’re over I'm over  fuck it lets get on with it theres a million tricks to it but you will get by if you just don't give a fuck about it I can't sleep I've got the wires in my brain I can't sleep I've got the wires in my brain I want to see you on your knees I want to see you beg for mercy if I’m not satisfied I’ve never been satisfied the coward dies a thousand times afraid to go on because his ears are bleeding but he's not dead he's just been blinded by the lights and the cameras of life like he can't see the forest for the trees like he can't see the stars for city light but he found that fucking rock  ain’t no higher than I  they led me to that stone  ain’t no higher than I  and he's so scared of being alone and being wrong that it eats him up inside like a cancer until somebody feeds him to the wolves and lets him go home again with a smile on his face what's the difference  hate to say it but I'm the fuck you've been staring at  my back for years and now you can't decide you don’t wear the same clothes anymore when you’re down in the valley this is what you see a vast panorama of trees and sky here in this hollow is where I choose to be life here is simple and easy to please but just because you say don't give a fuck you know that's a lie you're still afraid to get found out fooling the world and yourself is there a difference it's all fear don't tell me what's good for me and I I want to see it all burn down tonight my future is in the past tonight night after night I see the same old star if I if I could I would put your brain in a blender so you can feel the light if I if I could I would this is my way of the future misanthropes are running wild like hyenas through the streets spitting at pedestrians and people that you know here comes trouble don't let me get in don't let me don't let me get in don't let me burning one right now sinking down right now life's a pitch, throw it all right now fuck it all right now I don't care at all it's about to go down you're the one so full of shit obsessed image astral project you have it all you're a liar your eyes are shut mouth open wide you have it all you're a liar I’m a hot-blooded wax figureof a man in love with living I’m an empty purse on Monday morning I’m a new age of Aquarius I’m a runaway wave to the war on me if you’re looking for some time of peace you won’t find it in my face I’ve got my reasons every day my dear I’ve got my reasons you don’t understand I’m gasping by the water just another day in the land of the lost and found  and what is it that I see it looks like me it can't be me it looks like all this people we eclipse you you’re not the only one confused might be a hostage might be now I'm standing on a hill empty city sits below now I'm standing in a hole in the dirt I know you want it just like I do I know you've got me where you want me my heart’s about to burst my heart’s about to burst my heart’s about to burst my heart’s about to burst I hate you so much it hurts I want you so much it hurts I hate you so much it hurts I want you so much it hurts  like kindred spirits at the top of the stairs whispering secrets to each other until you faded into air I was left alone to fall for the morning I couldn't be you anymore so I found your blade cut your name out of my arm if you think I'm living you're wrong eternal eternal eternal return
