(0144) bleed heavy

i bite the needle. you tighten up the strings. we stare out our windows until the daylight brings us solitude from our longing... relief from our pain... now there's no telling if one man's misfortune will be another man's gain. the city swells with people, and they all look the same. reactions fatal but it brings about change. and i saw your anger falling out from your heart. you never told me how beautiful things can be in the dark. and like counting backwards will do much good - it's the empty sorrow that keeps the beat. so don't say you're dying. don't say you're heading down. it's just an issue of perception. i can feel it now. you will be lifted above the clouds, and i'm going to be there whether lost or found. the silver lining of a world gone wrong... the double meanings we can barely recall. instinctive poison, an insatiable thirst. the water's endless so it really doesn't matter who's going to go first.

the answer is forgotten, but the question is too. let's just enjoy this, and we'll be home soon. destructive manners... a dirty compromise... we've built these clocks so we could measure time. and it's all just time. that's all it is.
