There’s a hole in my year
A period of nothingness
From October first to the 20th
I’m floating, a waste away
broken is my confidence
Loathing my infatuation over you
And the time I spend
With the TV set
What has happened to me?
I entertain myself in a ritual searching for
an open door that leads me well away from myself
I’m a bird at heart, bathing in seven colors
I hate to come back and to face this room
As I spend my life doing things that give me
Nothing in Return
I get nothing no, in return
And you, you’re not here, do you want it that way,
I guess, now we’re driving this thing called loneliness
By ten I’m into bed
The sheets are cold and the silence
rings within my ears I talk to myself
things I say on my way to sleep
I deny a love I was meant to keep
Could it be, no
I get nothing
Nothing in return
I get nothing no
In return
And you, you’re not here
Do you want it that way? I guess
Now we’re sharing this thing called loneliness
Not the best thing we can do for ourself right now
I think, right now, right now
And you, you’re not here
Do you want it that way? I guess
Now we’re sharing this thing called loneliness
and I spend my life doing things that give me
