Songs of utter despair, guilt, empathy, lust, longing and/or hope cover art

lyrics

"Misunderstood"
is what you say.
Unsure why it's so easy to portray
this weary sad,
reflective, mad
shell of existence.
It seems so wrong
but they're so consistent.
Though you are not what they think.

My sentiment has grown wary.
There's too much space
between your queries.
Are you next in line?
Do you have the time
to waste?
Do you have a poem to paste up
on the soggy leaking walls
of my heart?
'Cause you know, they'll fall off.

So move over and make room.
I like your gloom.
I want to sit here without remark.
I want to sit and enjoy your dark
and not budge,
not move,
not cry,
not live,
not die.
Hi... how are you?
Who... who are we?
