Mmm Hmmm

To be or not to be, Hamlet thought it a simple question
To live or not to live, to take it, fight it, or end it
At first, at least, until he saw the complication
On either side of suicide

I'm not gonna do it, you used to say
I just like to think about it, it's not twisted
Feel the rush of a blade, or sickness of pills

I knew how you felt, too easily

I've got too much to live for, you said
Along with bad there comes good, for everyone
But you didn't live for me, not that you promised
And with that bad, there was no good

Somwhere a clock ticks the wrong way
I'll kiss the salty leaves, and you'll stay for me
Hours of making love in utter silence
And our light that only shined in the darkness

Psychic spies from china try to steal our minds' elation
As you kiss me out on the moon lit floor
The ocean beating upon the shore
Will call you back up from your sleep

I have scar tissue now, that I wish you saw
And it's been a while since I could
Hold my head up high, above the rest
I used to be your beautiful freak

Let's go back to where it all began
Where your blood's now spilt
Going back on your word wasn't you
It was usually me

It's all the wrong way round
Screwed up like I couln't imagine
It should be me lying in the hospital bed
Not heaven sent you

You're hooked up to a drip
Wires coming out of your skin
Forget everything and remember
For everything a reason

One day that reason I'll find
When next we meet. But not now
Because you'll never wake up
They tell me they must turn off the machine

You've been long gone for hours
But I've stayed at your side
Clutching your cold hand
Crying through hollow eyes

Morning has broken on the gates of Eden
Sitting, waiting, wishing, I were with you
And one day I will be
Come up to meet you, tell you I;m sorry
