"Swallowed in a Sea of Misery"

Do you know what it's like--
To breathe underwater?
To drown in a misery--
That never really falters?

And do you know what it's like
To drown in a sea--
Swallowed in all of your
Misery?

"Holes in My Heart"

I have holes in my heart--
So many empty spots.
It's hard to love them all,
When you're the one they forgot...

It's hard fitting in--
So many different locations.
Every new place,
Seems like a different vocation.

New faces,
New names,
Until time
Erases them all.

Or even worse,
I remember them all.
And time always rushes--
It never stalls.

So many holes in my heart--
And every wound hurts.
She lived a lonely life--
As an endless flirt.

I have holes in my heart--
But that's nothing new.
I couldn't fill it up,
Even if I wanted to.

Trust me, I've tried--
I've even cried.
The pain never ends--
It only subsides.

I have holes in my heart--
Why should I leave it intact?
I'd much rather take it out,
As a matter of fact.

"Sensitive"

Sensitive--
Oh, how I used to hate thee...
Sensitive--
Why did this happen to me?
Sensitive--
Always seemed so weak to me.
Sensitive--
I mean just how fragile can one person be?
Sensitive--
Sounds like a soft person to me.
Sensitive--
Oh, how I used to hate thee...
Sensitive--
But without it, who else would I be?
