three five seven and sometimes nine



it's not something you get over
it feels just like a curse
                                                           and maybe                
i deserve it
                                                                   or maybe
something worse

i like to think that i am writing
but i am only writing down
there is nothing that will heal it
until i find the ground

well, maybe it's that simple

i've got too many things
        and maybe it's the sadness

that beauty often brings.

(((it doesn't take long to discover)))              you can see there's something wrong

in every little smile            yeah
                                              in every
       little song

there is a  ghost that i won't bury
one that lingers in my mind
that wakes me in the morning                           tthat's doing all my time
that hasn't even wondered          why nobody loves him
the one who knows the fucking answer
and isn't asking you
                          again

how the third and the fifth
                                        and the seven              sometimes nine
end up as the curse
                               that is taking me
                                                           tonight

from the darkest of the shadows
to the shakiest daylight

and if i could find a reason

i would stay right here
and fight

i’d stay right here

and fight
