The one with the playlist

Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
We are crooked souls trying to stay up straight,
Dry eyes in the pouring rain

The night has fallen, Im lyinawake
I can feel myself fading away
And I know ugliness,
Now show me something pretty.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.

Even the best fall down some time.
Is this the new tear or just another desperation?
Go cry about it - why don't you?

Don't ask me why.

Remember when you were young
You shone like the sun
Now there's a look in your eyes
Like black-holes in the sky
Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties.
There was a time, not so long ago
I was master of everything I surveyed.
Cant keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit.

Oh, well. :)
