I’m scared for the children, the noise in my head leave my attic at night, she stops for a chat I’m a see-through I care for the people who wonder where I am did he start a family and made a lot of friends? recorded 4-track, a reel-to-reel comeback send letters with poetry to girls in first person narrative now that’s naive one of these days I wish to come back as a genuine man who dropped a stupid act ‘cause I need to one of these days in the company of friends I’d still like to crawl away ‘cause they all pretend do I need you? I would like to feel something pain, love, a little empathy instead, I’m a hologram stop leaving me alone fear in the back of my mind: I don’t want you a tear in the corner of my eye, I don’t need you disappeared in the heat of the night, I didn’t want to but soon you will follow me (on my way home)

every winter there’s ice on the power lines I tried to call you but you left town tonight all the things she said are running through my head, like “Santa Claus is dead” every winter there’s snow on the mountainside I waited for you but the bed is cold tonight all the things she said are running through my head, like “Santa Claus is dead” there she is, in her pretty white dress with blood on her hands, my fatal romance there she is, with a broad buckled belt “… and when he knelt, I gave him hell” oh, yeah, come on babe how do you sleep tonight? tell me, tell me now babe how do you sleep tonight? with Prancer’s head on your side how do you sleep tonight? tell me, tell me now babe how do you sleep tonight?

stay put, I will safe you from the break of day I'm trying to get through if the story of my life is to make it through the night how can I close my eyes and let you near? in take two they would have to love you but it seems like every time they're trying to change their lines if their death helped you out of the fog how can I do my job when the door is locked? you will remember me artisan rises to challenger on the day I tried to break the 4th wall the audience didn't let me near on the day I tried to save us all it was the happiest I have ever been

you left the lights on the night your water broke and when he opened his eyes he saw the artificial light your boy was bottle-fed every night he screamed and wept and when he opened his mouth he asked for an iPad Air inflatable Santa bobs his head to the rhythm and beat from the World’s End I always thought I could be at peace but when I held you in my arms you looked at me and told me that you’d never met a swimming pool soviet

when your heart’s unmendable you can sniff the glue with other girls I know you can save a chair but when the music stops they no longer care oh rollercoaster she said that she’s your friend but you don’t know what she meant I’m starting to dislike you yet I’m so much in love with you and then I hate you for breaking my heart I’d never thought we would be so much apart oh rollercoaster she said that she’s your friend but you don’t know what she meant now she's with an other guy

fork liftin’ teeth ripping mindsifting wine sipping I’m trapped inside the man fork liftin’ lips kissin’ knife sticking blood dripping I’m trapped inside the man I’m driving a long lost man I am running a machine, it’s me through his eyes it’s the world I see I cannot reach for the mind I need I’m out of control, through his eyes I weep fork liftin’ teeth ripping mindsifting wine sipping I’m trapped inside the man I’m driving a long lost man
