You don't need To say anything All I want is to see you right here And I'll follow Where everything is turning upside down Will you come Just stay right next to me The constant misfit With his misanthropic wishlist Hang the holly All he wants for Christmas Is to stop the haunted visits But I'm not optimistic Because the clock is ticking And dawn is drifting farther In this post-apocalyptic Gothic Gotham City My thoughts are spinning, Watch me switch the topic On these busy bodies Just acknowledge you're not listening And I won't bother talking But I can't stop my heart from singing But my bobber's sinking I never caught a compliment when I've gone fishing But they've cast me out for all my oddly awkward thinking I pause a minute, Taking stock of all that's missing Wake and make the bacon and the coffee, Go to work Do the laundry, wash the dishes, Rinse, repeat Box me in a coffin, locked in prison Caught in the monotony we call existence I'm crossing bridges But I've also followed rivers Off of waterfalls And fallen victim to the frost No, I'm not the strongest swimmer But I've survived the longest winters of my life With a fire inside to calm the shivers Finding solace, not a god, but quantum physics I holler, ollie, ollie, oxen-free Cause y'all are obviously quitting on me While the audience just gawks like, are you finished You don't need To say anything All I want is to see you right here And I'll follow Where everything is turning upside down Will you come Just stay right next to me I take a litany of pills to fill the pit in me I am the epitome of ill and still they're sick of me And this disease that kills Till I am infinitely nil Riddled with this guilt From my deficiencies Running out of sympathy She's giving me the chills from cold stares It's no mystery that she'll be rid of me This old man, how brittley I'm built With no utility or skill, And no chance, or ability to heal Pushing up this wheel Up the Sisyphean hill Listen to the shrill symphony of drills Knitting me a quilt From chapters of my life But the stitching isn't silk, And it's tearing at the seams And it would seem That all my dreams of being seen and heard were just absurd I milked it all for what it's worth and got my just desserts Too dumb to learn Cause it just occurred to me that I am undeserving of love I must have earned literally zilch And have to come to terms with the fact That I'm no different from a ilk Hilt sticking from my back, Head spinning like a mill Wilting like a plant on a widow's windowsill In the sun, Wishing I was wanted While they're living for the thrill Sinking to the bottom of a bottle of a whiskey in a swill Split the bill, money in the till Spilling on the concrete For the missing written living will You don't need To say anything All I want is to see you right here And I'll follow Where everything is turning upside down Will you come Just stay right next to me You don't need To say anything All I want is to see you right here And I'll follow Where everything is turning upside down Will you come Just stay right next to me
