  • Other people can be so disappointing
    I need to spend more time alone
    What gives us the right to be so depressing?
    224 West 16th Street was our cathedral

    These tears I cry for you must prove that
    I'm not the demon that I'm meant to be

    You say you love me though just like you aren't too shady
    Knowing what you know, it must be hard to
    Trust someone who's so similar to yourself
    Don't you know it's pointless to try and bully me into caring more
    Assume no fault of your own
    It's really just the boredom of being someone's captive

    These tears I cry for you must prove that
    I'm not the demon that I'm meant to be

    Check-in at the Jane hotel
    Terrible people

    As usual as dead from anti-anxiety meds
    And the old gang grasping for air that's not there

    Seeking out my own authentic season in hell
    Though it doesn't feel quite as pompous
    At least not as I can
    At least not as I can tell

    Dream, dream

    Misery [?] yawning
    Wrecked me for the summer's [?]
    That I am free and almost alone
    Down in Jersey I feel better

    Why would you ask? Why should you care how I'm doing?
    Do I bother you with those kinds of vapid questions anymore?
    I wanna matter, I wanna be your friend, not a poison
    This kind of love, our kind of love is so demoralizing

    These tears I cry for you must prove that
    I'm not the demon that I'm meant to be

    Seeking out my own authentic season in hell
    Though it doesn't feel quite as pompous
    At least not as I can
    At least not as I can tell

    Seeking out my own authentic season in hell
    Though it doesn't feel quite as caustic
    At least not as I can
    At least not as I can
    At least not as I can tell Writer/s: KEVIN BARNES
