The Ship That Shot Itself - The Deadly Syndrome

Please don’t describe the way it feels to you

The way it feels

In other words

In other words

The human race it wishes to relate

Its thoughts and rhymes

To other worlds

In other words

Some things we push away, the thoughts of you

Without me

They seem to stay

And play with me

And when I listen to someone else

It makes me think

That I can kill myself

And somehow save myself

I’ll catch you next time that I fall

If you promise that you’ll call again

I’ll call you back again

There comes a time when the lights are on

And no one’s home

Because you left

You left them on

It feels good to know that someone’s out of mind

Out of time

Only to think of you

And when I listen to someone else

It makes me feel like I should kill myself

And maybe save myself

And when I listen to myself

I think that everyone else should kill themselves

And maybe, save themselves

Please don’t describe the way it feels to you

The way it feels

In other words

In other words

The human race it wishes to relate

Its thoughts and rhymes

To other worlds

In other words

Some things we push away, the thoughts of you

Without me

They seem to stay

And play with me

And when I listen to someone else

It makes me think

That I can kill myself

And somehow save myself
