i've been hiding
i've been alone
i'm living beside me
i've lost all control
there are only teeth
underneath this bleeding mouth
they've been asking me
but i can seem to see a way out
underwater seas bury me in my own bed
long past ordinary swimming round in my own head
under the covers - hiding alone
no one will find this mope now

I'm in hell and I am screaming no im dead dont call me stephen
Where's the joke if i'm still breathing?
[Part II]
If there's a soul inside it's aching and it's legs are tired
theres an empty pool with only broken boards inside it
borders of my skin between myself and where i've been
i've slowly lost myself in self-destructive ignorance
but its cool
we're alright
we'll get through this
even if one of us dies
and even if its me that dies
i'm just happy you're alive
and i'm happy and im alive
but just on the outside
don't help me
please kill me
[Part III]
i've been dying
i die alone
underneath the earth
my teeth are seeding out my mouth
they've been good to me
i think they might be on their way out
when the empty pools are left to rot well i'm still good
and the boards will break and rot away just like they should
now as he sits and thinks about his sunken ship our hero leaves all
his regret with everyone he's ever met and he is dead but he's been
trying since he and the world first met and now he stands to live his
life with hollow eyes: "Great Ego-Death!"
my favorite album by one of my favorite musicians. CSH is probably my biggest influence & i could talk forever about how great this album is but please just listen to it. 4 me xo handsome eric
