The static burrowed into me And errupted in a pulse that found me in Rome Doing as the Romans do My eyes are pinned shut from the inside That is why I look so peaceful I want you to wonder how serious I am When I say I can end it all right now I want you to wonder so I can stop You can sing louder than rush hour But can you sing louder than the fluid in my lungs I have been involved prematurely My hands shake for an hour everyday But bullets never materialize for me.
