I've come out in naked newborn skin
I cannot clench a sweat drenched candid beard
The flashes in my eyes
I don't recognise the world I'm in
I was safe and warm
Now I'm feeling freezing cold
I'm only thirty seconds old
But I will kill you all when I'm full grown
Have I died, is this eternal hell?
What if I turn out to be
A psychopathic business junkie
I was safe and warm
Now I'm fifty seconds old
I receive a kiss
I hope to hell I won't remember this
I didn't ask to be out

Is this imaginary?
Do we really believe?
Is this all we have?
Might as well stay stationary
And wait for this place to cave it
It may seem narrow minded
But there's nothing else that I have seen
And when I try to tell you
You just quote what someone wrote thousands of years ago
We live everyday
And we die just once
So make the most of life and live and love and don't just stay stationary
And wait for this place to cave in
It may seem narrow minded
But there's nothing else that I have seen
And when I try to tell you
You just quote what someone wrote thousands of years ago

Now that you know me
You are lonely
I had nobody til I met you
Saw the aura of light that surrounds you
But our love went blind and became to overwhelming
So now that you know me
You don't want to know me and I am lonely
I would have done anything
But I waited too long you were gone when i got there
You'd painted the door, sold the house by the time I arrived
Would you please take me back?
I spent my half of the house on this heartbreak and shrinks and I sink into panic attacks
So now that you know me
You don't want to know me and you are lonely
Did we waste our time on eachother?
Were we once intertwined?
Or did we lie?
Because now that you know me
You don't want to know me and you are lonely
Would you please take me back
I find this all too overwhelming
That now that you know me
You don't want to know me
And you are lonely
Now that you know me you are lonely
Now that you know me we are lonely

I have know idea why
There's a hammer in the bath
I'm not sure where they've gone
I hope they didn't die
There's a note nailed to the door
Saying it won't last
But the sun did rise again
Shone right in my eyes
Sometimes there's no way
To describe the confusion
Building up inside
Did I do something wrong?
Because I am a full blooded melodramatic spastic
Full studded blood stained mattress
Fat rubber raisen raised up catholic my life
I only exist for me when i can remember
What it was
To be a lid
On this thin weird white container
In love
I have know idea why
There's a crack in my heart
Too narcissistic to realise
There are worlds beyond mine
When i do something wrong
But the moment passes by and it's not on
This awkwardness
Puts me right back where I started
As a full blooded melodramatic spastic
Full studded blood stained mattress
Fat rubber raisen raised up catholic
Fortnightly, A&E patient
Full blooded, alcoholic catholic by life
My life
