Do you ever picture yourself a ghost and gone? Say hello to the moon and the stars and sun Did you know it'll follow you way out there? Say goodbye to the secrets, they're all laid bare It will always find you Close your eyes and blind you And there will be nobody there There's no one who will guide you In the face Of this dreamless space I'm still aware That you're not there You'll be spinning Around my head What will I think of you When you're dead? Do you ever picture yourself a ghost and gone? Say hello to the moon and the stars and sun Did you know it'll follow you way out there? Say goodbye to the secrets, they're all laid bare It will always find you Close your eyes and blind you And there will be nobody there There's no one who will guide you

Could you ever You could really never Sell yourself exactly how you are Take an ad out in the paper It's like self erasure All symbols from the start Find a place you feel a part of A life you feel in charge of That won't tear you apart Apart It won't tear you apart It won't tear you apart I didn't wanna take you I thought that I could shake you I didn't wanna be you I thought I wouldn't see you I didn't wanna take you I thought that I could shake you I didn't wanna be you I thought I wouldn't see you It will find you It will find you It will find you all the time It will find you It will find you It will find you all the time Of course the end is right before us I hope you feel assured of Just how great you are Take a chance on pushing paper It's not human nature But who's to say we are It's the panic in the chorus A savior would annoy us His sympathy's bizarre At last you find yourself relaxing Believing is so taxing It'll never get you far Far It'll never get you far It'll never get you far I didn't wanna take you I thought that I could shake you I didn't wanna be you I thought I wouldn't see you I didn't wanna take you I thought that I could shake you I didn't wanna be you I thought I wouldn't see you It will find you all the time It will find you all the time Find a place you'd like to die in There's no real use in crying When you're looking from afar You don't believe in second chances No more dumb romances Don't leave the door ajar Of course you're waiting for the laughter Josef in the chapel Last call at the bar They drag you out into the quarry It's just like in the story A dog is what you are Are A dog is what you are A dog is what you are It will find you all the time It will find you all the time After all of this just passes And your body it just crashes Do you want to find a home Emptiness is second nature The plan of the creator All you do is what you're shown You just pick a plot of land out But it's all been planned out You know that it's not there Right as you come there before us You hear the soldier's chorus We know everything you are

Did you want time to waste? Do you want days to lose? I'm a wretched creature With nothing to prove I dance around myself Like I'm not even there With all these people around It's hard to not compare I didn't want it to end up this way I don't want you to ever think of me, okay? I'm a fucked up type Of symmetrical That look that she gave me It was so chemical Sometimes I hate myself I hate to feel so thin I have to tell myself I'm here until the end I'm sure I know what I think But it's not easy to prove And I can't pin you down Not with this guise you've assumed Is it like you to rot? Is it like me to waste? Can I wound you at all? Will you be hard to replace? Did you ever think? Did you ever care? Are you a part of me? Will you always be there? I'm a fucked up type Of symmetrical That look that she gave me It was so chemical Sometimes I hate myself I hate to feel so thin I have to tell myself I'm here until the end Do you know me? Do you think you know me?

You wanted half of my brain I didn't ever want to think In crisis I'll stop longing Long enough to forget everything Did you ever even see me at all? Did you see me at all? I guess I'll visit sometime Do you think that would be fine? I'd like to see you again Do you remember my face? Do you remember my shape? Do you remember my bones? Have they changed at all? I guess I'll visit sometime Do you think that would be fine? I'd like to see you again Do you remember my face? Do you remember my shape? Do you remember my bones? Have they changed at all? I guess I'll visit sometime Do you think that would be fine? I'd like to see you again This is what they said to you When you could barely fit in your home This is what they said to you When you were feeling so alone This is what you told yourself When you were finally feeling free I don't know where you can go So it's better you than me I think I'll visit sometime I think that would be just fine I need to see you again I think I'll go back to this place Where they remember my face Where they remember my shape Where they remember my bones You gotta Dig yourself out of this rut You gotta Dig and dig till you turn to dust You gotta Dig down right to Earth's core You gotta Dig till you can't dig no more

There's a gulf between us The approximate size and shape of a human body We both pretend not to see it Imaginations interlock in an attempt to clear the air What do you see in me? The story's not for retelling Of course I have the right to change my mind You've remembered your inhibitions He's been there before Lying on the bathroom floor He's been there before Lying on the bathroom floor He's been there before Lying on the bathroom floor He's been there before Lying on the bathroom floor There's a gulf between us Do I really need to tell you? Narcissism's like protection So I'll stay up here Please don't make me come down Writing bout it doesn't help things Cause in the end all of my songs are about myself Cause I'm a selfish, closed-off dumbass And I don't have any plans to be changing that Do you know what I would do To keep from being known by you? He's been there before Lying on the bathroom floor He's been there before Lying on the bathroom floor He's been there before Lying on the bathroom floor He's been there before Lying on the bathroom floor He's been there before Lying on the bathroom floor He's been there before Lying on the bathroom floor He's been there before Lying on the bathroom floor He's been there before Lying on the bathroom floor There's two of us There's three Starry earth and water silvery There's two of us There's three I know what it takes to move me There's two of us There's three Starry earth and water silvery There's two of us There's three I know what it takes to move me
