The sun flies through the sky
Leaves darkness in its wake
And now I hear the hell hounds
Barking at the gate
To be honest sometimes
I don't want you to relate
This ain't up for discussion
It's not a topic for debate
Entrepreneurs that want to
Bottle up the hate
And slap a label on the glass
So hard that it will break
And if you break it, you buy it
And we sold it by the case
It's okay if you just try it
You can hold it to your face
How close can you get
Without touching it?
How far removed can you get
From the public?
Can you keep a secret?
If not, can you tie a slipknot?
Can you stand high up on this brick block?
Listen to the clock, tick tock and switch gears
It's been 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 years
Are they all dancing now?
Are you joining the party?
Are you celebrating life
Just by destroying your body?
It's a part of your psyche
I want to sight see
I don't need you as a tour guide
And I don't want you to like me
I was voted least likely
That's it, just least likely
So pardon me if I seem feisty
Bite my tongue like a bullet
Take a pull from the peace pipe
Push past the low expectations of me each night
I leave light in my wake
I moonwalk across the floor
Until I hear the Sex Kittens
All purring at the door
There's something outside
That we all want
But inside there's an ex
Who marks a soft spot?
'Till it rots and decays
And then no one else cares
It's been 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 years
Now, I sell pennies to the well-wishers
I fish through the coin slots
I fall through a girls bait
Participate in boycotts
I demonstrate a demon's trade
With a face void of thoughts
If that don't launch a thousand ships
Then that's the Helen of Troy's loss
There's nothing in this horse
It's hollow, it's empty
Its entry will not be forced
Like an eye socket stripped clean of tears
It's been 13, 14, 15, 16 years
