lyrics

when i was a man
i would listen to the thing i called a plan
not thinking bout how the day would end
the window was my only friend

how i'd sit in vain
pitying myself beside the rain
living outside the pictureframe
in a beautiful shade of gray

sometimes i would go outside
hoping everyone would die
hoping that a thousand flies
would eat their rotting corpse alive

now when i step out the door
i wish it was just like before
when all there was for me to ask for
was misery and nothing more

i'm left to be uncertain
as a repossessed curtain
a naked window pane
has let in all the shame
a naked window pane
has flooded with the shame

when i drink with her
the joy i feel replaces all the hurt
i'd kill for her to be my girlfriend
but her heart is with another man

how i'd let her know
that in the moonlight she really seems to glow
as i'm cursing the goddamn status quo
hating that i have to let her go

sometimes i would go outside
wishing she was not alive
wishing for a lucky life
where i don't have to get so high

as i'm passed out on the floor
i can hear the distant snores
of a charismatic junkie whore
it's not a fact i can ignore

i'm left to be uncertain
as a repossessed curtain
a naked window pane
has let in all the shame
a naked window pane
has flooded with the shame
