As It Were

I writhe in agony next to you sleeping soundly
I'm tickled to the point of psychomania by demons l can't name
Come morning, I'm carving characters into my skin
I haven't slept a wink
And I think I am on the brink of another episode

It is the pain that takes me home
Your ordeal, my masturbation
And I wish you the best of luck in your new love
As for me a hapless man
I've always been a hapless man

I torture me to be an opiate to you
Feel your shadow and convulse in primal joy
Come morning I'm running pins through my hypocrisy and jealousy
See my fingers and the legs of my imaginary friends
And they make me hate me!

It is the pain that takes me home
Your ordeal, my masturbation
And I wish you the best of luck in your new love
As for me

Choke me
I am not worthy of your love
Tear me all into shreds
Rip me up

There I go again
Feeling sorry for me
Ignore me

I've always been a hapless man

I'll leave my body when soul is good and ready
I do not own it, but I' ve made it mine, all mine
Come morning, I'm singing lies at the top of my lungs
I haven't slept a wink
And I think I am on brink of another episode

It is the pain that takes me home
Your ordeal, my masturbation
And I wish you the best of luck in your new love
As for me
