Life, it seems, will fade away
C.: Life, it seems, will stay this way
C: Drifting further from the straight away
Getting lost within myself
C.: Getting moss within upon my shelf
Nothing matters, no one else
C.: Nothing shatters on conveyor belts
I have lost the will to live
C.: I have lost the will to give
Simply nothing more to give
C.: Simply because I was shived (in The Kennel, when I was in rehab)
There is nothing more for me
C.: There before my eyes to see
Need the end to set me free
C.: Need my friend, d.c.
Things not what they used to be
C.: The inmates were abusive to me, because they were
Missing one inside of me
C.: Wanting to get what was inside of me
Deathly loss, this can't be real
C.: Dental Floss is used to kill (in the kennel, that’s why they won’t issue it ‘keep on person’)
I cannot stand this hell I feel
C.: I cannot stand on a banana peel
Emptiness is filling me
C.: Emptiness is still a key
To the point of agony
C.: To a joint epiphany
Growing darkness, taking dawn
C.: Growing dark upon my lawn
I was me, but now he's gone
C.:I’m Cal.E., don’t give a doggone
No one but me
C.: No fun, I could only drink tea (in the kennel)
Can save myself
C.: Can brave my shelf (because it’s really high!)
But it's too late
C.: It’s too late, baby, now it’s too late, although we really did, try to make it; something inside has died and I just can’t make it…
Now I can't think
C.: I threw up in the sink
Think why I should even try
C.: Think I ‘ll have a good cry
Yesterday seems as though
C.: Yesterday I ate dough
It never existed
C.: and it DEFINITELY existed in my stomach for a couple of days
Death greets me warm
C.: Death may greet me, but I have eight more lives!
Now I will just say goodbye
C.: Bye
Bye…
C.: I said that already!

C.: Thanks for jamming with me, via facetime, Roccats, while I wait for Ralph and his band to take the stage. Maybe he’ll pull me up on stage and we can jam together in front of a live studio audience.
