Dove Love 02:40
to conceive my beliefs to forms of trees they'd be brown, with dead leafs swaying dead in the breeze putting my faith in feeling normal again bring the heart in i'm in love but she can't be there i count the months since i've been here (1,2,3) and i'll keep counting till i get there (4,5,6) just give me some peace of mind bring the heart in before we indulge in each other's lies we just want to be loved

i've tried to say the lines in past life times mumble the cures, pray to them, pray for sleep the pills in my head, the figures in my bed. the damage is done, i will sleep where i'm hung. too many fears i've worn, i wish i had never been born. my life in circles, i still think about her still. if it created us in his image then why am i such piece of shit? this is all too much, i've pissed off the gods. the inconceivable hate i have, for the ones i loved. if we were destined to such great illusions, why were we made so broken? my body slips through each hole in the text. no one will ever love me, i will never love anyone. depressants are depressing, so shatter the glass i'm just an old man, so old and bruised nothing separates me from a stray, put me down. the ones who care will get over it i heard someone scream "lord jesus my heaven and savior, please treat me like ex lovers, forget about me and forget we ever had anything." sounds like someone who tried bottled themselves up and died

destined to a life of depression from a god you don't believe in these coffins were built for us to rest in i don't hate myself i never existed he's not in that phallic building he never was he's born from the love but choked into a fairytale from above lord will you still love me? or am i just all wrong. and i got to get the hell away from here where your words fall short of every ear you're only as good as the god you hate i can smell the old folk's home from here it's made out of nooses i know i won't choose it i make houses out of the things i used to believe in they're all just excuses i know i won't choose it
5.
the winding lines of bad luck will always be constricting me a brain gone bad will rot won't be desired again point a is where i'll stay and she'll be forever out of reach at b i will always be an empty shell i will always be what could of been god are you for real? god are you for real? i'll never be able to sing this so i'll just keep on screaming it it was whispered to me by the prettiest lady in town much prettier than all you people

that's where you became something you were not when i walked into somewhere justified by rot is that me or you, was that thought of me or you this is where i stopped living and started resting life so new, then just a second and it was over, just one instant is that where you got shafted by the pitch? left you rusting in a ditch give me back wasted time, bring me back i want to be an infant before i was capable of full on failure i wish i would of choked on my favorite toy it's just a simple ploy i've came to enjoy before every feeling was a lie you should of never let me out, this is not ridicule, you didn't know any better gave me life, gave me a soul but i'm tired of this body i hope when i go, you two know, you're the ones i owe most. i hope heaven lets me in. silence planet, you were never alive you only existed through man's poetry for once stop spinning i'll be there to catch you with one hand on your mouth as the knife gets plunged into your chest. i just hope your rest is comforting we just don't need you any more. rely on that, goodnight.
