Balance is bittersweet when all you know is madness
Count my blessings. Poke out my eyes
Privilege magnified & shoved in my face
When I walk through the tunnels where
The invalids lay
I'm wading in dark water when I should be in bed
With a head full of magic & a heart full of dread
My labors of toil. My labors of love
Streetlight pale. Goddamn the sun
We're all dangerously close to the bottom
Anguish & Joy could be slammed shut
In the wink of an eye.. In the inky night
I'm a nightcrawler & I don't know why
Balance is bittersweet when all you know is madness
Count my blessings - Claw out my eyes
There's no rain to wash the piss stench away
When I walk through the tunnels where the invalids lay
I'm wading in dark water when I should be in bed
With a head full of magic & a heart full of dread
My labors of toil. My labors of lust
Streetlight pale. Goddamn the sun
We're all dangerously close to the bottom
Anguish & Joy could be slammed shut
In the wink of an eye.. In the inky night
I'm a nightcrawler & I don't know why
