Because There’s Nothing
To Tell
This is how they kill me
this is how they do it to me
they think there are so many different ways
and I suppose there are
but at any given moment
there always seems to be a new and improved way
and this week you’ve found a new way with me
and this is how i die
I’m tired of being so much like you
and I’m tired of having
so many differences with you
and I’m tired of seeing with each day
which part of me has to die
to keep things alive with us
you should know me by now
and you should know what I’m asking
when I ask a question
don’t you know me by now?
so thank you for point out
that the answer is always “no”
and thank you for killing just another little part of me
people do that to me all the time anyway
you wonder what is wrong
when I seem unhappy
and I tell you “nothing”
and I dont mean “nothing”
but I tell you nothing
because there’s nothing to tell
because I’m almost dead anyway
I was just getting used to this “me” thing
and now there’s this “us” thing
which really boils down to this “you” thing
because, Hell, there’s no “me” anymore
isn’t that what you wanted anyway
people have been killing me all this time
and maybe they won
