Well the best of intentions
Turn into prison sentences
That’s what happens when you listen to the voices in your head
But it sucks that your choices
Are tranquilizers or voices
I don’t blame you for torching that Portland apartment complex
Well metaphorically it’s beautiful to me
Well I feel like an asshole
Cuz I can’t send you the letter
That I wrote saying I love you and I wish that you were out
Cuz I feel like it’s my fault
That you ever became involved
In this self destructive lifestyle that led you to be without the things you need
Well I guess poverty is beautiful to me
Yeah symbolically it’s beautiful to me
And though I’m not a man of faith
I’ll try to stomach just a taste
Of something less than cynicism as we keep loosing this fight
To make the walls and systems fracture
And to overtake your captors
But it feels like waiting for the rapture and I don’t believe in Christ
