The static burrowed into me   And errupted in a pulse that found me in Rome   Doing as the Romans do   My eyes are pinned shut from the inside   That is why I look so peaceful   I want you to wonder how serious I am   When I say I can end it all right now   I want you to wonder so I can stop   You can sing louder than rush hour   But can you sing louder than the fluid in my lungs   I have been involved prematurely   My hands shake for an hour everyday   But bullets never materialize for me.
