Nouvelle Sensations

It's killing me,
to watch her feel the way she does,
I know she's hurting, I know the cause.
I sealed her fate without a word,
I turned an angel to a filthy bird,
and it is killing me.
I really want to disappear,
to exist outside, far away from here.
This is killing me.

Well, i got the news I was looking for,
but my greedy heart wanted more.
I got the news I was longing for,
but my nervous heart is aching sore.
I've stood alone for time in the longest,
I desired anything except for what I felt then.
The bankruptcy of any cheer or joy,
lost in a maze with no passages.
Marked with a frown and contempt worldwide,
Swollen shame with spiritual bandages.

I don't want to look before me,
I will see her grave.
I don't want to be me,
I'm not free and I can't be brave.
Slaving over a wire system,
I'm glad to say it served as an aphrodisiac.
It only brought them my pain and misery,
It only made them start to laugh.
The music had always been there,
you wrote the lyrics in the bruises and cuts.
Desolate winter in my empty empire,
I reached out at her and fell off my crutches.
