| Things lately all seem so tragic
|
| The self-destruction's been gathering
|
| Memories I’m hardly fathoming
|
| Did they happen to me or someone I used to love that sounded like a piece of me
|
| leaving?
|
| Every seven years, these cells are replaced
|
| My body is part soil, part water, part garbage, maybe part you
|
| Where did the DNA information travel?
|
| Did I hold on too tight?
|
| Did I harbor it?
|
| I don’t know
|
| Have I grown to love the world around me because I built it?
|
| Did I allow myself to experience life or just an echo chamber for the wicked?
|
| I guess I never asked what would happen if the doctor got sick
|
| Because to me, healers were never people, they were part of a service,
|
| and now I’m scared I’ve abused it
|
| So where do good people go when they die, the ones you reject?
|
| I wish you would disappear again so I could find myself
|
| I’ll swallow my pride if it means I wouldn’t be so afraid of hell
|
| Embellished or simply untrue
|
| When I look into a mirror, can I still say, «I love you»?
|
| Whatever whispered back «I love you, too,» was my reflection ashamed of the
|
| words I’ve shared?
|
| When I turned on myself, will there be another pain to bear?
|
| And with all of this, I keep the curtains shut
|
| The sun reminds me of better days
|
| I don’t think about it too much
|
| I keep my heart in my back pocket and my mind trapped in the strain
|
| And now I just take it day by day
|
| I miss looking up to Bill Cosby
|
| I miss innocence
|
| I miss being selfish
|
| I miss Gene Wilder and Garry Shandling
|
| I miss being afraid of marijuana
|
| I miss when my friends hated me
|
| I miss Jersey Shore
|
| I miss being afraid of the dark
|
| I missed my grandma’s funeral to play music for 15 kids
|
| I miss not having to hate myself to feel like I’m balancing out the score
|
| I miss not being sick
|
| I miss the pity I got when I was sick
|
| I miss loving those around
|
| I miss embracing hope
|
| I miss when my heroes seemed perfect, but thank God they’ve been called out,
|
| 'cause I’m not living in the sickening ignorance
|
| I miss me
|
| I miss myself
|
| I miss feeling lovely
|
| I miss feeling loved
|
| I miss feeling love
|
| I missed three calls from you because I was watching TV
|
| Not even a show I liked, just a show that I got sucked into
|
| One of those shows about home renovations
|
| I hated it, but I had to know if the seafoam tile in the bathroom would come in
|
| under budget
|
| I miss the bad weather
|
| I miss excuses
|
| I miss the smell of a dinner being cooked for my whole family under one roof
|
| I miss blank stares from across the room
|
| I missed my moment to love you the right way the first time and I’m still
|
| beating myself up for it
|
| I miss a lot of things
|
| I miss nothing
|
| I miss the nothingness that comes with missing nothing
|
| But I miss the something I feel when I miss something
|
| Or everything, or nothing
|
| I miss skating
|
| I miss watching you sing, even though I never heard you do it before
|
| I miss those nights when my knees would hit the bedroom floor, 'cause I still
|
| believed in the power of praying
|
| I miss the days where I didn’t believe in prayer at all, 'cause there was no
|
| guilt
|
| I miss watching Boy Meets World with my babysitter
|
| He’s the one who showed me P.O.D. |
| and since then, I’ve been much happier
|
| I miss me
|
| I miss myself
|
| I miss feeling lovely
|
| I miss feeling loved
|
| I miss feeling love
|
| And someday, when my bones are dust, and my DNA’s been spread through the
|
| garbage behind your house, I hope you also miss me
|
| The first time one of my friends started smoking cigarettes I thought, «This is the end of him, he’s gonna lose himself in this»
|
| Not realizing a pack a day was common for the people around me
|
| I was just blinded to it 'cause it never happened in my own family
|
| And I was afraid of perspective
|
| Now I’m afraid of perspective
|
| And I’m afraid of perspective
|
| And I’m afraid of perspective
|
| 'Cause it’ll chase me

|
| Death is not a moment in our lives
|
| Death is constant
|
| And our lives are a moment
|
| So when we choose to spend our lives hating someone else
|
| It’s a moment
|
| We hate something we see
|
| In ourselves |
