Can I Stay Home Today?

Can I stay at home today?

My mind is gone

I don't know when it'll be back

Black and white images of my past

Fade in and out wildly

Fire balls of innocence fly at me

...What is real?

Can I stay home today?

No it's not raining

If it were I'd be outside

My heart has just fallen from my chest

My feelings ran away again

I need to get my priorities straight

...What is love?

Can I stay home today?

I'll bleed black marbles for you

Watch, I can do tricks

I'll sleep all day

And cry all night

Freeze my tears so you can use them for ice cubes

Then bleed to death in the bathtub the next day

I don't want to go out today

I want to walk around naked in the living room

And pretend I'm happy with myself

I don't want to go out today

I want to play my music loud to annoy you

And drown out what you have to say

Can I stay home today?
