Chair.
Feel as if it's all caving in again
left up to pick up all the pieces, I cut my hands
blood and broken chards gather round my feet
in a world without reason or justice, I feel diseased

you were all it took to keep me dragging on
hope followed you here and it chased the falling sun
I try to tell myself I've seen such darker days
truth is I've seen the light but I always end up back in this place

rats in the corner, spiders up my spine, a fly on the wall
I add it all up again to find its worthless after all
fighting nightmares that never die and dreams dead and gone
I can't hide much longer and there's nowhere for me to run

I'm cold and lost and lonley in the dark and frigid rain
so I tell myself I've seen darker days, so I lie again
I have a vague recollection of what I was fighting for
born in the tension between us throughout the war

but I don't have the strength to die
from the mirror stares back seven billion eyes
and within each pupil, a featureless creature
black eyes beaming, forever unblinking,
screaming: feed me
screaming: save me
screaming: understand me
screaming: help me
screaming: tell me
why.

God, I totally identified with this bit here. 2004 saw me in that place for a long time and only now am I trying to pull myself out of the pit.

A great piece of work, very touching. It certainly struck a chord.

this was excellent, as usual.
