I dreamed I was missing, you were so scared, but no one would listen, 'cause no one else cared
After my dreaming, I woke with this fear: What am I leaving when I'm done here?
So if you're asking me, I want you to know

[Chorus]
When my time comes forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
And don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest

Don't be afraid, I've taken my beating, I've shared what I've made
I'm strong on the surface, not all the way through
I've never been perfect, but neither have you

So if you're asking me, I want you to know

[Chorus]

Forgetting all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

[Chorus]

I hurt myself today - to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain - the only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole - the old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away - but I remember everything

[Chorus:]
What have I become, my sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away in the end
And you could have it all, my empire of dirt
I will let you down, I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns - upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts - I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time - the feelings disappear
You are someone else - I am still right here

[Chorus]

If I could start again - a million miles away
I would keep myself - I would find a way

^Nobody could do a better cover of that song than Johnny.

Olivier Messiaen's "Couleurs de la cité céleste" fighting with the air conditioner and the fan and the insistent hum of the refridgerator while birds are chirping outside and the occasional rugrat screams for no adequately explored reason.

...The Beatles ~ " Can't Buy Me Love "

This is such a beautiful song.
