..nothing happens when i cry- blood gets red when i let it out, i get red when i get put out, my hair grows when my skin dies, but nothing happens when i cry.. nothing happens when i cry- friends will cry when you make them hurt, they will hurt when you tell them lies, they will lie when their weak inside, but nothing happens when i cry.. nothin happens when i cry- rain came down and the tree grew up, you grew out of the one you loved. when i looked at you you looked aside. nothing happened when i cried.

drink the water and learn to speak feel no guilt for your body there are much greater shames in the world but your shame is yours and no one can take that away drink the water and learn to speak sometimes i say something and it means nothing at all sometimes i say nothing, it means more than i can say if you don't know how to say it say you don't know how to say it i'll know what you mean anything's only something half the time it's only anything half the time you have been a coward of the heart but there's still time to learn to speak

a bottle of cough syrup lay in the bottom of my bag it reminded me of you when you were my brother and my lover we were always together i wonder how you were feeling when i was caught feeling how i was just feeling do you forgive me? and i wonder why i've lost the desire to obviate my ego cause people still dont make me happy enough do they make you happy enough? do you need drugs?

i went too slow i went too fast for you i went to slow i went to fast for you i love you and i wait i love you and i wait for you i try and draw your face but semen is my only ink i went too slow i went too fast i laugh and then i wait then that feeling goes away i laugh and then i wait then the laughter turns to shame i went to slow too fast i wonder and i wait i wonder while I wait for it I wonder what it is? and who am i to wait for it? i went too slow i went too fast i get stoned and i wait i get stoned and i wait for you i wonder if your late or if i'm here on the wrong day i went too slow i went to fast for you

this song reminds me of a song that i've forgotten a better song than i ever could have written thank you singer of the songs behind my day thank you for being there to laugh at our shame

why does he want you to choose? why do i feel that i need to be used your dad's handing out parts in the play i dont even know the name of the play i dont need to be included just need to be seen. you were born from a mistake dont think that doesnt inform your state you plant the seeds in their mouths and resent grows out of your friends' mouths i don't need to be included just need to be seen. i see you across the street. when i get there you are gone
