[01:16.18]All I really wanted was this home,
[01:25.28]A place to get away from all the cold.
[01:37.94]I think I'm okay now, much more aware.
[01:46.35]My body is failing, getting slowly there.
[01:54.13]And we choose to remember, always the same place.
[02:03.37]Can we move on past the outpost?
[02:07.00]We thought that each other was all we would need.
[02:16.00]We thought that each other was all we'd need.
[02:27.94]Well, I had a technicolor father with mechanical parts
[02:32.82]And an on and off heart switch.
[02:36.63]And he snapped all our plugs,
[02:38.07]Dragged them out through the doorway like electrical entrails.
[02:43.98]As they dangled behind him, intestinal, wormlike,
[02:47.58]I grabbed one and sank in my teeth.
[02:51.30]It showed no signs of life.
[03:00.14]As static as a starscape
[03:02.28]That pulses when the channel is missing and signal is lost,
[03:08.43]Only to be seen at night,
[03:11.55]In dreams and lucent skies.
[03:19.23]And yes, we have found out cause it's only fair.
[03:27.16]You've withheld the words of affection from when I cared.
[03:35.14]Now it's too late to mend us.
[03:38.98]We start to deteriorate but we can always remember;
[03:47.26]We would not have been the same.
[03:50.40]If you had stayed nearby, would I have grown up in your image?
[03:54.59]If so, then it's good that you left.
[03:58.41]They say "like father, like son."
[04:00.69]Is that the reason that I constantly feel like I don't exist?
[04:06.51]I lost my fallen teeth to the bottom of the pillow.
[04:10.48]I lost all my sleep on Christmas Eve.
[04:14.76]And I'd do it all over for the little optimism
[04:18.44]that I harbored before you taught me to never believe.
[04:54.55]I just can't stand to see the same old walls.
[05:02.23]Try to leave me all alone.
[05:11.83]I don't want to see you at all.
[05:20.27]I can't help it.
[05:22.00]I'm bottling everything up.
[05:23.07]You promised you'd keep me safe and sound.
[05:26.19]Father, the day you die I hope you die in a living room.
[05:26.44]You promised you would deliver me.
[05:30.79]I hope the irony does not let you laugh.
[05:34.96]I hope the life that flashes before your eyes is mine and it doesn't flash fast.
[05:42.82]If you had stayed nearby, would you have taught me to vanish?
[05:46.55]If so, then it's all for the best.
[05:50.22]They say "like father, like son."
[05:52.27]Is that the reason that every time a person loves me I find it hard to love them back?
