The Ballad of the Emo Techno Poet

I felt out of place today
Wandering out across the gray
Horizon fields I used to play
And where I long so much to stay.

But happiness for what was past
Is cursed never to last
It goes by ever so fast
Gone in an instant, in a blast.

I wonder what would be unique
If I could find the words to speak
Of what I tried in my heart to sneak
The days when I would turn my cheek.


I feel for something deep inside
Something I can no longer hide
Yet there's nothing there I can abide
Though I can't say I never tried
But all the things that I replied
Had never been truly applied
To all the pain I have supplied.
There's nothing about which I haven't lied.


Wandering further from the path
Beyond the fork in the bird bath
Tempting fate and eternal wrath
Perhaps you could try to do the math

You'd see what was calculated
Was just the same as what was fated
Beneath the trees where we all waited
And raged at the one we all so hated.


I feel for something deep inside
Something I can no longer hide
Yet there's nothing there I can abide
Though I can't say I never tried
But all the things that I replied
Had never been truly applied
To all the pain I have supplied.
There's nothing about which I haven't lied.


So now you see what we all schemed
Isn't exactly what it first seemed
When we all slept and wearily dreamed
Of worlds held up by what was beamed

Through the nights that ran so cold
Before we found we'd all grown old
And none of us would be so bold
We saw our hand and chose to fold

We told ourselves it was for the best
Another lie, like all the rest
We pretended that we were always blest
But in the end we failed our test.


I feel for something deep inside
Something I can no longer hide
Yet there's nothing there I can abide
Though I can't say I never tried
But all the things that I replied
Had never been truly applied
To all the pain I have supplied.
There's nothing about which I haven't lied.


And when at last the soil turns
And our heart gives up all it yearns
Our soul inside no longer burns
Because even it finally learns

All passion and no respite
Fills you with emptiness and spite
Until you find you've lost the fight
Left alone in the darkest night.

I feel for something deep inside
Something I can no longer hide
Yet there's nothing there I can abide
Though I can't say I never tried
But all the things that I replied
Had never been truly applied
To all the pain I have supplied.
There's nothing about which I haven't lied.

odd but i'm drawn to it...

the lyrics are great and music is pretty darn good and the talking instead of singing makes it different from anything ive ever heard. (which is a good thing)
