i am lying, on my back in the dark

waiting for the end to come

and swallow me

and my skinned soul

 

i never saw it coming

all i saw was her bright blue hair

and electric smile

under sad eyes

 

o christina, i gave you everything

and you took it

you took me away from myself

you cut me up into pieces

and left me here

a skinned soul

lying in the dark

 

on my back, i see the ceiling

i name the patterns

i try to recall

just what all this is for

 

i gave you everything

and you took it

you took me away from myself

you ripped me apart

and left me

decaying

lying in the dark

 

when i think now on love

all is see is the shine

of your bright blue hair in the sun

as we used to be

so happy

before you tore a chunk of my soul out

and left it on the sidewalk

 

the sidewalk, o the fucking sidewalk

i'm so weak

everyone is stepping on me

on my weary soul

on my skinned soul

my bleeding soul

my scarred soul

on the sidewalk

 

and i'm lying here in the dark

just wondering how all shit happened

and the janitor steps on my soul

and i scream

and i scream

 

OOOOOHHHHHH CHRISTINA

and i shout out your name

OOOOOHHHHHHH CHRISTINA

and i hear nothing

nothing

nothing

 

back to nothing
