Emulsion Man and his Dry, Cracking Hands

Motivate me, to be something new

Because I've tired of what I am

I've got the push,

I just need the pull

And nobody's there to grant my need

To come home to her, a message or a rant

At least it all was something

But now I belong

To the harsh critique

And I'll hand it to myself

When no one else will bother

I keep myself so lonesome

Or blame it all on drains

Just to sit in passing wonders

And pray for a new beginning

I want to love like I did before

But it all feels like a ghost

It's becoming vague, something far

Something that's getting further and further away

I relish in the stinging now

Because I'm sad, because I hurt

Because I've got nothing better to look forward to

But is it all my fault?

I'm told I have the key, I've lost it at some point

Point it out, I have no eyes

I have no eyes for lasting serenity

I've been sad for my entire life

And they say that I'm to blame

I guess I can't defend

I guess I'm at square one

I trust them all so easily,

I see no reason why

But it's all right, for they know it's true

I'm the burden that weighs me down

I miss the warm, the knowing right

The surety of sacrifice

Though in the end, she called to say

I didn't give enough up for her

I wish she'd seep through me

To the depths for all to come

The empty wouldn't slow me down

It would maybe even comfort

But I live to hurt, and try to choose

The difference within my head

I've lost the cures and diluted stores

That they say I've always had

I try like hell, I swear to you

I don't know what else to do

Here I whine, like years before

Here I'll whine forever more

Try to relax, take a deep breath

Learn to have fun, not so serious

And yet I demand the static in thralls

The sting of plate beneath bedroom halls

And I guess that's it, my life as always

In pain, in shreds, over nothing and nobody

Hurting, for everyone and no one at all

Singing to myself, pretending to care

Wishing for a solution that I can only create

And this is eternity

For me, maybe for others

For all those around

And I sincerely apologize.
