“EELS – There I Said It”

no better way to express it

if you want to be in the poet illiterate’s shoes for a moment

understand why he doesn’t sleep

this song on repeat in his empty head

the fool lies and sings it to the ceiling when he should be resting

the purity cuts into his being and rips him to shreds

sleep little poet on your tear soaked pillow

and dream about a better tomorrow that will never come

where the words mean something to someone besides yourself

good night world
