Portugal

It's sad at night All drained of light Quiet and sullen, insomnia's plight I'm alone as I reach a lonely height At the bottom, down-trodden I'm dead inside So bury me up to my head Starve all the rodents so they chew through my eyes instead I'm a loser, I love her I choose her, I stalk her I don't care if she burns me away (I'm a leech) I'm a parasite, ne'er seen a fairer sight Apparently in paradise we paraphrase a pair of lies I'm paralyzed by paradigms, we pair up pills to build the high Then burn the torch so we can fly Careful, be careful, be swift My darling Icarus You're flirting with disaster I'm sinking back down I'm sinking back down (Fall asleep, fall asleep, fall asleep) I am the desert Desolate, barren, and dead A warning for wanderers Wasteland ahead You'll find no safe haven No water for nourishment Just carcasses scattered for scavengers I am the desert A boneyard for travelers The oasis is here! Mirage - come see through my heavenly Eden facade Burning the temple, killing your god Damn it, I'm awake alone again Damn it, you locked me out in the cold again Damn it, you don't answer your phone and it's killing me So, you're not for me? How oh so very odd it seems You're off to sea, Odyssey, while you nod to sleep I often see the secrets dripping off your teeth Shock and flee, awful dreams May we rot in peace
