about

Recorded in 2002.

lyrics

In a different room
Having lifted myself from the mess that I’ve made
What do I do?
I lay myself down and begin to fade
I divide myself into separate parts
But what is the point when I’ve lost the will to even try to start?

Misery swells into me
Perhaps I can eventually
Sail away on waves of it
Or fail again in spite of it

In a different room
You pinch at mirrors or test your neck
Then what do you do?
You lay yourself down in your cold, damp bed
And reinforce what once was your heart
Until you reach the point where you accept that there are waters you won’t chart

Misery swells into me
Perhaps I can eventually
Sail away on waves of it
Or fail again in spite of it

Please sail with me

One single thud
Won’t disturb me up into life
But I believe that I would
Remove the cause of this general strife
If I didn’t squirm at the words that I speak
If I truly revealed what lies beneath my failures

Misery swells into me
Perhaps I can eventually
Sail away on waves of it
Or fail again in spite of it
