Jitterbugs (Delirium Tremens)

I can't sleep with these needles in me.

How did I come to this decision?

I have lost something that you can't see

You gotta hurry up with the incision

My god I can still feel the static

My eyes turn in different directions

I am clenched from the pain you're providing

Goddamn this is he way I'm not supposed to feel

This is all the time we had,

And I am almost dead

So long my old friend

Just let go of my hand

Serene like an insect collection

In a box that you carried me to.

I sense the loss of your affection

And I know there's a part of me in you

My god I can still feel the static

My eyes turn in different directions

I am clenched from the pain you're providing

Goddamn this is he way I'm not supposed to feel

This is all the time we had,

And I am almost dead

So long my old friend

Just let go of my hand

This is your punishment

You choke on your regret

So you can rest your head

In this eternal illusion

You are returning

Your coffin is burning

My smile is not the last thing you will see

Underneath, living in your own shit

Goddamn this is the way I'm not supposed to feel

This is all the time we had,

And I am almost dead

So long my old friend

Just let go of my hand

This is your punishment

You choke on your regret

So you can rest your head

In this eternal illusion
