There's a half-spotted moth on my bathroom floor It crawls slowly across it and a wing tattered torn This plane of linoleum, it's final resting place The crush of my hand ends a deadly race Time is wasting on a half spot butterfly Was doomed from the start and surely meant to die I'm closing my window my lights dim once again I'll hold no goddamn butterflies, I'll give no more an end My window is shut now it opens no more My doors still stay locked and there's dust on the floorboards My window is shut now it opens no more My doors still stay locked and there's blood on the floor Everyday moth-men try to fly Weighted down by gravity of broken lives Drunk mother, drunk father, I saw you once there You ripped off my skin and you tugged at my hair Everyday moth-men try to fly Weighted down by gravity of broken lives Drunk mother, drunk father, I saw you once there You ripped off my skin and you tugged at my hair I'm trying too hard to pass by the days With baggy eyes black outs and a pseudo punk phase But my T-shirt has holes from the third sister's branches My shoes have got soles lipped from your advances Won't you see mall nights with stolen sushi are good enough for me Hey bright eyes, won't you see, it's good enough for me My window is shut now it opens no more My doors still stay locked and there's dust on the floorboards My window is shut now it opens no more My doors still stay locked and there's blood on the floor Everyday moth-men try to fly Weighted down by gravity of broken lives Drunk mother, drunk father, I saw you once there You ripped off my skin and you tugged at my hair Everyday moth-men try to fly Weighted down by gravity of broken lives Drunk mother, drunk father, I saw you once there You ripped off my skin and you tugged at my hair

You are razor blade upon my face You are abrasive, you are a scrape Of the hair leaving my skin Leaving me feeling akin to every bad thought that's left my brain And when you say that I should just calm down I know you're only trying to help They say it is blasphemy, the way I feel They say it is nothing more than a passing feeling and it Isn't even real They say it's a travesty, to be a little down and I'm so tired of getting stuck inside this nowhere-going town and you know When you tell me I just gotta calm down I know that you're just trying to help It's a fashion statement to be ok To drink until your dead and dirty in the gutter day after miserable day I am a pariah, in every sense of the word And I keep counting days and hours and minutes and seconds until it's my turn and you know When you tell me I just gotta calm down I know that you're just trying to help

16th subway never cost a fare To every dirty homeless guy that congregated there And I'm just trying to get where I'm going Just the bat out of hell to nowhere You're by my side on this lonely winter night It's cold as hell and I'm not sure if it's worth the fight But Starry Eyes you sure look pretty An untarnished in a world full of shitty I was hoping tonight that with you by my side You would make everything alright Everyone everywhere is dealing with their own shit And I haven't really the time, the place, or the money to deal with it The only change I've got to spare is a ramble on Nietzsche that you probably don't want to hear A philosophical garble on meaninglessness and the taste of a 40 oz. beer Cheers But Starry Eyes you sure look pretty An untarnished in a world full of shitty I was hoping tonight that with you by my side You would make everything alright But Starry Eyes you sure look pretty An untarnished in a world full of shitty I was hoping tonight that with you by my side You would make everything alright

This is a test for the best of me, a test for my tenacity To live and love and love and learn, to take it with each passing turn and I don't quite remember how I was before I met you cause You're a prize, you're a charm, it's a luxury when you're in my arms Just to hold you, every day when I wake up Just to kiss you, is what my dreams are made of When I see you, with your hair done up like a movie star and I wonder just where I stand up inside your heart This is how I feel when it rains outside I cross my heart and I hope that it never dies That you feel everything that I do, every breath I take and I Hope that I'm your boy every second of every day I am alive with this feeling, what is this feeling? I don't know I don't care If I die, with this feeling, this feeling of love You make me smile every day, even as you're watching Ricki Lake The most delicious taste, is the taste of your tongue Just to hold you, every day when I wake up Just to kiss you, is what my dreams are made of When I see you, with your hair done up like a movie star and I wonder just where I stand up inside your heart This is how I feel when it rains outside I cross my heart and I hope that it never dies That you feel everything that I do, every breath I take and I Hope that I'm your boy every second of every day
