about

Inspired by the angels and demons in my soul, and by the events of September 11th, 2001.

lyrics

Poor soul, such a poor soul
You make me sick soul, acting so old
Was it too hard for you, to follow a rule
Was it too mean for you, to follow a dream?

You're a dead dreamer, Dreamer dead dreamer
You're the wasted life, the tear that dried
Was it too hard to sense, to your brain so dense
That you lost the fight, that you gave up your right

You never, gave to me
What I could take
You never tried to understand my pain

So Dreamer dead dreamer,
My, you scream at those screamers
Why don't they believe in your lies
Don't they get lost in your cries?

Is it them that you blame
For your going insane?
Why can't you admit that you're wrong
Why is it so hard to be strong?

You only hurt yourself
By this deceiving of yourself
Into thinking you matter
When it's just your ego that's got fat!

You may be able to fool
Those dead dreamers like you
But I know the truth
This part of you is no fool

You never, gave to me
What I could take
You never tried to understand my pain

So is this what we've cum to
It's yourself you make love to
Oh, please spare me those tears
It's only yourself, you fear

Oh, I suppose you could change
Like get some balls, sound so strange?
Or just keep being so quiet
And keep letting those in control, pilot

You came, and you gave
Me more than I could take
And now, that you're gone
I'm left with your mistakes

Never again will I be suckered
You're the one who's mother-f*%kered
"Sing to me, bring my tea!" ~ bullsh*t!
More like, "You could never be better than me"

"Drink to my piss" ~ you'll never get this;)
"I'm goin be yo basterdized best kiss!"
The world will beat you, never again greet you
They will see that your student has freed you
