I wrote this song while the sun was coming up in an ice cold apartment in my underwear. It was about 5 or 6 am, and I think spirits were trying to tell me that something fishy was going on.
lyrics
upside down and inside out
she sleeps like a paper doll
always the one who repeats
that she was tripped she never falls
slowly burning at my finger tips
is the answer to it all
take a hit like an invasion
or a problem that can't be solved
get over it
shes mine
nothing to do or say here
this time
so sound asleep she couldn't hear
the explosion inside my head
Taste like vomit candy
feels like today my death is near
always creeping up on me
when everything is getting clear
must learn this before its gone
the end is nothing to fear
