lyrics

curse that doorbell, another reminder
that i could lay here and willingly pass away
but in last nights dream, she said something
and though it leaves me, i know i've changed

did you hear the clock go off?
i know now that it's all i've got to prove anything to

so i'll get out of this bed - i'll try to clear this head
and remember what she said

about self pity, how it outweighs your guilt
it'll hold you down; you'll need cleaning (eventually)
you'll spend all your time waiting on mankind
to get balanced (though i'm not convinced yet)
so take what's spent as proof of your happiness
but be warned a loss of senses will occur

you never said that before - i'm gonna borrow one of yours
you wouldn't mind, would you?
hey - where are you off to?

these felines are looking at me funny and i don't know why

but i'm sure one of them can spare one of those nine lives
but its only if i swear, that i will take care of this all when its all gone

yeah but i don't know what's in store, what's all this for?
my fears are piling here and i'm afraid of death
so i better enjoy my breath while i can

even though they're all coming up short most days,
these days, most days
