lyrics

scratched out names
--------------

I will walk to the ends
Of the earth, at least
Until I get cold
I will push one leg
Above another until
My secret's told

When I stumble, I will fall
I'll continue even if I have
To crawl.
The trails that I face
Can't faze me
At all,
Can't stand me
Less tall,
But it's tough
To kill a thought.
It really is.

I'll avoid the things
That make me think
Of you, I ardently
Refuse to be your slave
A diary with scratched-out names
I know you're trying to help
But you don't know what you're saying.

So you feel like dying
Go ahead and feel like dying
You're so sure you'll never beat it
Don't call 'em problems,
Call 'em reasons
No one deserves that kind of treatment,
Not even suicidal feelings.
It really is that simple.
It really is.

Keep an eye on humankind
Peoplewatch to pass the time
People love to pass the time
Keep connected with the outside
Snorting pills to wake alive
Quitting pills to wake alive

One night I caught the fever
In the devil's bed
I could be dead right now
But I'm here, singing instead
These hands can crush the wheel of time
And I can send you back there
This body isn't quite right
But there are ways to make it mine
These hands can stand the test of time
And I can make it there
This body isn't quite right
This body isn't quite right
These really are the thoughts I keep
That which have power over sleep
You're just saying that, I know
But I love what you're trying to show
These really are the thoughts I keep
That which have power over sleep
You're just saying that I know
You're just saying that I know

As above, so below
As above, so below
As above, so below
As above, so below

Surprising no one, the artist behind this music is a trans woman now. This project may be dead and gone, but she continues to write music with a new band called "Sherry CD-ROM".
