"A Picture Of The World" lyrics

"A Picture Of The World"

I was fucking up, handing off the reigns to you
I know the bodies, but I can't place names, so I should be forgetting you
It's a cathartic song like that other shitty one and I have never felt so old
I'd cool off and sleep it away, but it's a hot fucking day and I've got my afternoons alone

'Cause you won't let him go
You let your feelings oscillate
I was out of the running without warning
To find out the worst fucking way

But every move that I missed I will take out on another one
'Cause if we all get close and miss then we are
To take the short end of the stick and dish it out

Is there someone who wants to know? It's the same old shit though
Everyone's gotta love the miserable. That's what they're in it for.
If there's a positive to your dramatic actions, block my ears so I'm not privy to it
This karmic debt is screwed. And I know why.
And I know why
And I know why

I want to burn this picture of the world where all my thoughts reside
I'm gonna burn this picture of the world for all my friends and I
I want to burn this picture of the world where all my thoughts reside
I'm gonna burn this picture of the world for all my friends and I

This picture's proving now
I'm used to falling down

Don't leave me down
Don't leave me down
Don't leave me down
Don't leave me down

An ardent call for resolution, or a wordy premiss of old?
I can sleep tonight, but it's gonna be a long fucking time before my comic debt is going to grow
'Cause you won't let him go, you won't let him go
You won't let him go, you won't let him go

Time will take its revenge, not just me

Who wants to know, who wants to know?
I'm gonna burn this picture of the world, I'm gonna burn this picture of the world
I'm gonna burn this picture of the world (Who wants to know?)
For all my friends and I
Burn it down

I'm gonna burn this picture of the world, I'm gonna burn this picture of the world (Who wants to know?)
I'm gonna burn this picture of the world, I'm gonna burn this picture of the world (Who wants to know?)
I'm gonna burn this picture of the world (Who wants to know?)
Where all my thoughts reside

Lost is the prospect of goals met
I'm 22 years closer to death
I would have found that hard to believe when I was 15

Familiar failure is all I know
Please forgive me if it shows
But I won't stop until it beats me, or I go crazy
