Purpose

Save her grace
purpose in this life
but i make a horrible sickly martyr
and she makes a better one, pretty hair
sunk in january, and who am i
to save anyone, while on that collision course
this apocalypse
first against the wall
first against the wall

now i could lie
maybe convince myself
maybe make it a reality
that's how optimisim works
and i'm too busy being in love
not mining it for poetry
the real thing is better than anything
written about it

fake martyrs wake up with
hangovers, emotional and
physical

sadness for the sake of sadness
isn't a cross, it's an addiciton

and i have to get drunk to call my friends
haven't really understood that one yet

as i lay me down to wail
i pray that god will post some bail

not paranoid when you should be just one of my normal keyboard improvisations, nothing special, except that it's recorded on a real grand.
