Elephant - The Philosophy Of Suicide lyrics

rate me

What went wrong today? Everything is so controlled<br />

Ideals were abraded by reason<br />

Impotent dreams on an overcast day<br />

Out of the depths I have cried and no one has heard<br />

Gods and heroes and imaginary companions<br />

Unrequited promises no longer suffice<br />

Rhythm to repetition, perseverance to insanity<br />

Just because you're alive doesn't mean others should want you<br />

<br />

Knowledge is temptation, I repulse myself<br />

On the borderline between neurosis and psychosis<br />

Dissecting my actions instead of being in the present<br />

I dissociated my fear and allowed it to advise me<br />

<br />

I am not a messiah, I am a man in trouble<br />

An unbearable waste with no excuse<br />

Pathetic and scared by grotesque loneliness<br />

Morality wasted in isolation<br />

<br />

Tomorrow's smile never comes for me<br />

Ambitious but incapable, weak without direction<br />

Another spring prepares me for another summer alone<br />

And there is no return from the killing hour<br />

<br />

To be honest it is not this world I hate<br />

But the circumstances which shaped my mediocrity<br />

Fading in an abyss of inaction, said the mirror<br />

This is not a work of fiction - this is my life<br />

<br />

Rape the children for their own good<br />

Scars awaken a tragic sense of destiny<br />

Hope is deception born in alienation<br />

To the frantic throbbing of my own heart<br />

<br />

Sorry does nothing, objectifying me with pity<br />

Removing yourself from blame, feigning innocence<br />

If those who find me claim to love me, where were they when I needed them? <br />

Some friends would have been nice<br />

<br />

Always anticipating, never receiving, I wait<br />

I may see her soon and I will never leave her again<br />

Perhaps next year, perhaps one day, perhaps never<br />

I am not a child yet I am so inferior<br />

<br />

At last I reach out, but am I too late? <br />

Ideation of a choice as I pace in agitation<br />

I just wish I could go back and reverse this mistake<br />

I wanted to dance with her one last time<br />

<br />

Denial, anger, bargaining, depression<br />

Anger, depression, bargaining, anger<br />

Depression and anger in a cycle of envy<br />

I did nothing to deserve this, I did nothing<br />

<br />

Stop this please - I'm in pain<br />

Why doesn't anyone care? <br />

And who will tell her that I've died? <br />

And how will she know how I suffered? <br />

At last I surrender to tears<br />

As I trace my veins<br />

All I can think of is her<br />

And how much it hurts<br />

<br />
