spinning out of control
2002-07-28 ~ 2:13 p.m.

sunday afternoon at 2:13 pm...

and the urge to die today is immense.

and i have no good fucking reason to not let the demons win.

i thought i might take stock in my life...and see what the tally is.

so i did...and i lose.

i have no fucking control over anything in my life anymore, and it is driving me crazier than i already am. but how do i fix what i have done?

and today there is no voice in the fog...

and i cut...and it stings, and there isn't a release in it.

i moved to DFW to change my life for the better...and i ended up worse off.

i have a house i am going to lose....

i have to search for a fucking roommate i don't want and can't live with....

i have to pay bills....and the fucking creditors won't take my blood...

i don't even have my truck, so that when it is 5 am and i want to go home, i can't...

and now, my brother says not to drive the truck, especially not during the day. he says it needs to be looked at asap, because trucks are not supposed to make that noise. and if i have put more than 5,000 miles on it since i got it i have voided the warranty anyway....fuck me.

and so i sit here, unable to do a goddamn thing...can't kill myself, can't be hospitalized, can't even drive myself away from this fucking nightmare.

my mom asked me to move home again...said i needed to be there. guess calling my mom when i am crying is not a good idea.

and all i want is to make things better for everyone else...to make life a little easier for those people i care about...

does it matter to anyone that i wanted so much more than this...and this is what i got? no...why should it?

fucking bend me over again...

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded

Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed

Everybody knows that the war is over

Everybody knows the good guys lost

Everybody knows the fight was fixed

The poor stay poor, the rich get rich

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking

Everybody knows that the captain lied

Everybody got this broken feeling

Like their father or their dog just died

Everybody talking to their pockets

Everybody wants a box of chocolates

And a long stem rose

Everybody knows

Everybody knows that you love me baby

Everybody knows that you really do

Everybody knows that you've been faithful

Ah give or take a night or two

Everybody knows you've been discreet

But there were so many people you just had to meet

Without your clothes

And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

And everybody knows that it's now or never

Everybody knows that it's me or you

And everybody knows that you live forever

Ah when you've done a line or two

Everybody knows the deal is rotten

Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton

For your ribbons and bows

And everybody knows

And everybody knows that the Plague is coming

Everybody knows that it's moving fast

Everybody knows that the naked man and woman

Are just a shining artifact of the past

Everybody knows the scene is dead

But there's gonna be a meter on your bed

That will disclose

What everybody knows

And everybody knows that you're in trouble

Everybody knows what you've been through

From the bloody cross on top of Calvary

To the beach of Malibu

Everybody knows it's coming apart

Take one last look at this Sacred Heart

Before it blows

And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

Oh everybody knows, everybody knows

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

Everybody knows
