"You came to me like a dream
The kind that always leaves
Just as the best part starts
It ends so abruptly
And leaves you stunned and naked
In your bedroom all alone"

"I want to scream. I want to shout. I want to have faith and never doubt . . . I want to bend, I want to break, to sleep and never wake . . . To break down walls and to escape, be alone and hide my face . . . I want to feel, I want to touch. I want to stop wanting you so much."

"As I cried myself to sleep his words felt like a careful description.

Shit.

Fuck.

Slowly they turned from words I heard into things I observed, as I spiraled down the gravity-well into sleep. They gained mass, became batlike, bulky, enemies, part of me. Just before we arrive at the event horizon of sleep and we impact with it at the oblique angle required to smoothly enter dreams, in the moment just before we disappear, the world sometimes suddenly reappears around us, very sharp, very clear, quite transformed. Doesn’t it? Sometimes? More real than life. More real than dreams. Just before we disappear. And we can’t move, and we can’t wake, and we can’t dream. We’re just there, super-sharp, superclear.

I was there, super-sharp, superclear. I was transformed. Lying on my back, in my bed, in one of those states so hard to describe because everything has changed its shape and significance and name.

(Beneath my right hand, my belly was still a little sticky, though I’d wiped most of it off.)

(The tracks of the tears I’d cried earlier, standing up, were colliding and tightening on my cheek as the water evaporated and left faint trails of salt.)

(A new tear was taking the shortcut down to my ear.)

(Never cry on your back. Your ears fill with tears.)

My eyes were closed but they felt open. It was dark but I could see. I could see me. I was the world looking at me instead of the other way around.

And he was right.

I was Shit.

I was Fuck.

And then, at least, after a while, I disappeared.

It’s so easy to say you cried yourself to sleep. It’s so hard to do."

"Here's a thought,
If you're willing to listen.
I only tell the truth with
The feelings I'm given

Can you hear me now?
Listen.
Whispers in the rain,
Listen.
Don't push love away,
You know you do.
It's all we have.

It's a chore
Holding onto a vision
Don't leave her high and dry
She's the one you'll be missing

Can you hear me now?
Listen.
Whispers in the rain
While you're awake.
Don't push love away,
You know you do.
It's all we have.

I hate to think
Hesitation's a burden
A bittersweet design
For a lesson
You're learning

She's crying

Can you feel me now,
This time?
Whispers in the rain,
Lying awake.
Don't push love away,
You know you do.
It's all we have.

Here's a thought,
If you're willing to listen."

"Too much of something is bad enough
But something's coming over to make me wonder
Too much of nothing is just as tough
I need to know the way to feel to keep me satisfied"

"When you were here before,
couldn't look you in the eye.
You're just like an angel,
your skin makes me cry.
You float like a feather,
in a beautiful world
I wish I was special,
you're so fucking special.

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

I don't care if it hurts,
I want to have control.
I want a perfect body,
I want a perfect soul.
I want you to notice,
when I'm not around.
You're so fucking special,
I wish I was special.

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?.
I don't belong here

She's running out the door,
she's running,
she run, run, run, run, run.

Whatever makes you happy,
whatever you want.
You're so fucking special,
I wish I was special,

but I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here,
I don't belong here."

"I can feel death, can see it's beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out again"
