Detachment
When I'm with you
I can remember
what emotions are like
I'm sure that can't
last too long
'cause I'm manic depressive
senile and schizophrenic
i think the drugs did me
while I thought I did them
I rely on detachment
attachment makes me paranoid
and I see terrors in the night
I think my stomachs bleeding
and my eyes will soon follow
words seem like acupuncture
and you just struck a nerve
when I walk in a crowd
I dodge the common brush
don't like to be touched
never asked for much
but I think I asked for this
while I laid silently alone
be careful what you wish for
it just might come true
and I'll get what i wanted
then change my mind again
cause I'm indecisive
I think I just might lose it
a classic murder/suicide
not trying to be a bitch
but your best friend is hot
and mine never calls
I don't care anyway
people come and go
and cum and die
bloodshot highlights your eyes
and the blood's now dripping from mine
I think it's time to go
I can't show you anymore.
