My mouth is open
Agape and open wide
Through tribulation
To You I will confide
Hopeless and heartless I stand

Contemplation on the vein
The purple cord is really red
Staring strangely at a scarecrow's fantasy
Staring strangely back at me

I've been afflicted for so long
While all along I thought I would be fine
Lately I've been losing so much sleep
Infection of the soulish kind
Inside my thoughts begin to swell
Welling up inside my fragile mind
Why must I contemplate
All these actions that I hate

Some time alone with...

I am kneeling, 'cause I know that
