The words on this page
Darkness has slowly become my best friend,
Been trying everything but this feeling wont end.
Confusion is my brother, I'm the son of desperation,
Lost is my desire and I'm still looking for motivation.
I've put everything off till the end of time,
My friends think there psychics, trying to read my mind.
I tell 'em you can't read blank paper with only blue lines,
The traffic lights are red and stop reads [?] the signs.
I can only see things blurly, no better than the blind
People ask me how I'm doing, Of course I tell them I'm doin fine.
I want to scream at them even though they're being hind
I wish I could tell them the truth but i don't feel inclined.
Every morning I pray I can stay in bed,
Sleep is so peaceful, so good for the head.
Got to think positive is what the doctor said,
The best I can do is pretty soon I'll be dead.
I told the doctor, he didn't want to see me no more,
He shook my hand and then hiked me out the door.
I'm sitting on the corner with a coffee and a cigarette in my hand
A woman passed by throw some change in my cup and said dim sorry but i do understan
I just drank my coffee and almost choked on a dime,
I imagine this is what I'll be feeling till the end of time
I saw a beautiful lady and I took her by the hand
Said "Please come with me, away from this harsh land
---
She must have been foreign, she didn't understand,
Why is it your life, never goes as planned?
I bought a newspaper and was looking for some good news,
Caught a glimpse of the cover, kept singin' the blues.
With all this mahem and murder makes me feel even worse,
How fitting five people died in an accident by a guy drivin' a hurst.
I'm adding to the problem, when you hear this you ain't gonna feel
any better,
I hope that its sunny and my life will change like the
weather.
Its always raining and clouds never want to pass by,
so depressing, the reason I imagine I always break down and
I guess I'm stuck here, got no money and my car wont
a car with a tape player with Bob Dylan on the stac
where I can have a wife and some kids and die of old
yes someday, I'll find the key to my cage,
yes someday, I'll get rid of this rage,
yes someday, empty won't read the gauge,
yes someday, my hand will turn the page
yes someday, i'll have it made,
It's just too bad that day isn't today.

I bought a newspaper and was looking for some good news,
Caught a glimpse of the cover, kept singin' the blues.
With all this mahem and murder makes me feel even worse,
How fitting five people died in an accident by a guy drivin' a hearse.
I'm adding to the problem, when you hear this you ain't gonna feel any better,
I hope that it's sunny and my life will change like the weather.
It's always raining and clouds never want to pass by,
so depressing, the reason I imagine I always break down and cry.
I guess I'm stuck here, got no money and my car wont run,
I'll have to get a new one, and I'll drive to where there's sun.
A car with a tape player with Bob Dylan on the stage,
where I can have a wife and some kids and die of old age.
Yes some day, I find the key to my cage,
yes someday, I'll get ride of this rage,
yes someday, empty won't read the gauge,
yes someday, my hand will turn the page.
Yes someday, I'll have it made,
It's just too bad that day isn't today.
