Housesitter

(앨범: Etc. - 2002)

I lost all my thoughts
Of angels in an aspirin billboard
Walking down 16th street
Hit the cross street: Catatonia

I wish I had the strength
To do your drugs, it must take strength
This life inside is hard to bring outside

Now you turn and cross the corner
Cold sweat, think of what's for dinner
Think I should be thinking deeper
This is your excuse to go outside

I'm sick, not hungry
Sick of people starved for love
I keep creating errands
To talk to people, to talk to me
But still, nothing human
Money changes hands is all
This world's a broken record
Skipping on a call with no response

This is what you've been working towards
This punishment is your reward
After all this time, you think you'd learn
When you got your wish, bridges were burned

What are you taking so hard and why?
And are you giving anything back?
Misgiving isn't just another form of giving, is it?
You made your life, now live in it

Learning how to live without her
The one who gave you thirty chances
All of which you promptly blew
If up to you, you'd die to not offend
To not offend
