In a different room
Having lifted myself from the mess that I've made
What do I do?
I lay myself down as my memory fades
And try to remember what I have done
But what is the point when that one elusive moment has forever gone?
Misery swells into me
Perhaps I can eventually
Sail away on waves of it
Or fail again in spite of it
In a different room
You pinch at mirrors or test your neck
Then what do you do?
You lay yourself down in your cold, damp bed
And reinforce your broken heart
Until you reach the point where you accept that there are waters you will never chart
Misery swells into you
But you know what you must do
Sail against the waves of it
Or fail to find the worth in it
Please sail with me
One single thud
Won't disturb me up into life
But I believe that I would
Remove the cause of this general strife
If I didn't flinch at the words that I speak
If I truly believed that my one consistent failure does not make me weak
Misery swells into me
Perhaps I can eventually
Sail away on waves of it
Or fail again in spite of it
Misery swells into you
But you know what you must do
Sail against the waves of it
Or fail to find the worth in it
