I know that they can smell the blood
they gather around to tear me apart
As poison acres dripping from
their teeth onto the sheets
That I'm hiding underneath
But once the clouds move aside,
we can see what's left behind
Those tiny diamond holes,
Those stars we see above,
you say died centuries ago
So all we ever did was stare at ghosts
making love and wasting time
What a shame, what a shame,
they only know my father's name
Inside of a tin can in the
With nothing but the seagulls
and the sharks surrounding me
I was sinking as a voice was
Saying everything will be easy
If you give yourself to me
Now I've been sitting here for days
Chasing words across the page
And I keep staring out windows
I'm twenty -five years old
I've got to do something with my life
of all the different ways to die
Making excuses and wasting time
Well I guess I need a purpose
Some sort of fading hologram
I can chase around the city
and spend my whole life trying to touch
cause I never stay long enough
Another city I can't name,
another feeling I can't tame
I'm just desperate to find
But once the clouds move aside,
we can see what's left behind
But it's such a comfort to know
That we're just wast ing our time
Waiting around and wasting time
What a shame, what a shame
