I left the sunlit fields of my daily life and went down in the
hollow mountain, and I discovered, in all its chilly glory,
the glass castle of my other life. I could see right through it,
and beyond, but what could I do with it? It was perfect, irreducible, and worthless except for the fact that it existed.
- Mark Strand
Raise me up to cut me off
Buildup rage damages my face
Hook me up with what you know I want
You know I need it no replacement
Disappointemnt after me
Was it you who torched away my peace?
Get a life and raise from hell
You know there's other people in the picture
There's always gonna be this stain
That I can't scrub off
Try as hard as I can
But what was once is lost in time
And so am I...
What a modern way of thought
I'm depressed so I can shut you out
I don't mean to sound naive
But what about the promise that you made me?
