Bug Zapper

I'm going to bed Live others instead Imagine I was dead Paint the chaos red Sometimes it's just there I know all effects Wish i was like the rest When you close your eyes and don't feel a sting under your skin does that mean you have had a decent night? When they tried to tune you all the strings inside you snapped and now all that's left are tear ducts in your eyes Useless images Of stars inside your eyes Useless dead romance To keep me up at night When you spend all your time hiding in public bathrooms does that mean that you have had a decent life? Because you can't keep eye contact or hold a conversation like a freak who only lives at night You sit in a remote corner collecting dust and growing old and nodding till you're all worn out You've only got a few years of your life left and more than half will be spent working from nine to five So pull yourself together you're a man and not a feather, with your face stone cold you'll stay alive I'm not gonna die, but if I roll the dice just right I'll be a butterfly and live my only life in one night I'm not gonna die, I wish I could for just a second Be a butterfly or all the mice out on city streets [Excerpt from "the five people you meet in heaven"]
