it's suicide but something's missing
I'm bound
in flesh it cut once
but all his life
he was waiting
control faith left envy
but all her life she was searching
so real followed her own
suicide it never showed me
all that was true for me
I'm not like you
but open your eyes
I drank from you mind
it tastes so divine
all that we knew
it seemed so untrue
I faced your life
come give me a try
soon you'll know what its all worth
so real followed her own
suicide it's me you swallow
all that was true for me
I'm not like you
but open your eyes
but open your eyes
I drank from your mind
it tastes so divine
all that we knew it seemed so untrue
I faced your life come give me a try
but all her life she was searching
so real followed her own
suicide something's missing

    i love how on this cd in this song (the first song) they say "open your eyes" and then in Underground they say "shut your eyes".....i wonder if that was planned but that's pretty rad

    Love this song. Great amount of feelings behind their music. They do kick ass live, I saw them headlining back in March at the Roxy (L.A.). MaTT, you won't be dissapointed.

Alma Matters
Morrissey
The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support. "Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
