to the hospital basement
where there's always time
for alittle mind games
and whispering.

my heart, lost at wind
never stood a chance, not against:
anything going against. you.
i never could have lasted, if my final stand
weren't such a submission.
i wouldn't even be in this place:
it's nothing like home
i remember home because it looked like

green through the...(more)
