I - Portugal Lyrics

It's sad at night
All drained of light
Quiet and sullen, insomnia's plight
I'm alone as I reach a lonely height
At the bottom, down-trodden
I'm dead inside
So bury me up to my head
Starve all the rodents so they chew through my eyes instead
I'm a loser, I love her
I choose her, I stalk her
I don't care if she burns me away (I'm a leech)
I'm a parasite, ne'er seen a fairer sight
Apparently in paradise we paraphrase a pair of lies
I'm paralyzed by paradigms, we pair up pills to build the high
Then burn the torch so we can fly
Careful, be careful, be swift
My darling Icarus
You're flirting with disaster
I'm sinking back down
I'm sinking back down
(Fall asleep, fall asleep, fall asleep)
I am the desert
Desolate, barren, and dead
A warning for wanderers
Wasteland ahead
You'll find no safe haven
No water for nourishment
Just carcasses scattered for scavengers
I am the desert
A boneyard for travelers
The oasis is here!
Mirage - come see through my heavenly Eden facade
Burning the temple, killing your god
Damn it, I'm awake alone again
Damn it, you locked me out in the cold again
Damn it, you don't answer your phone and it's killing me
So, you're not for me?
How oh so very odd it seems
You're off to sea, Odyssey, while you nod to sleep
I often see the secrets dripping off your teeth
Shock and flee, awful dreams
May we rot in peace
