Lyrics

I've been destroyed and broken down
by the shadow of a love gone sour
from a goddess's crush to a crutch
it was the love that hurt so much
I was played with and toyed with
the teddy bear of affairs employment
I broke a squeeze and I wheezed
there were some tears in the machine
there were some tears in the machine
and from a masochistic cliche
try to fight my way to clarity
but I'd like to hide in a bedspread
like water in a waterbed
disappear enough not to cause a fuss
just plain anonymous dust
this is all the luck time has for us today
I was killed and I died
there was some heavy business gone awry
I went crazy inside
I went crazy inside
I went insane and I said things
I made songs of regrettings
I am sure that I said some cliches and some
truths and some falsehoods
I made a fortune in the tragic stock
I got some practice in the art
of waking up each day with a heavy heart
 
don't cause a fuss, just disappear enough
like plain anonymous dust
like shades like
disappearing shapes unborn like a faded form
I kinda like a little bit of cliche anyway
don't fade away afraid, don't listen and don't absorb
to the poison words
they won't put you any closer to the blown-out edge
of a bleary fake anonymous day
all the grown-up
happy combinations and individual satisfied customers
but I can't cock a snook
just a half-cocked guilty look
with the trouble-meant eyes of a lie
knowing that trouble is the first to find
the ones that hide
the blanketed, bedspread shivering kind
with halls of knowledge, paper walls of fact
hollow fears all ringing in the ears
bracketed, taxed, and anxious of a rat-a-tat-tat
everpresent dread will cause a boat to toss and turn
and toil in oil and maybe capsize
capital letters form a necklace like a stranglehold
burying your best intentions under a wall of shame
and fastening in place a buttoned-down blank face
of a thousand closed doors
hallways of the mind
lonely serenader, you fade and pass
you disappear up your own ass
if you don't take the steps and walk away
and stop clinging to the past
 
I've been obfuscated and obscured by words and sounds
I've been ground down
I can't get up and I can't get down
I've been obfuscated and obscured by words and sounds
I've been ground down
I can't get up and I can't...
can't get down
