Wish You Well

He wrote her name with a needle gun
In black and blue
Your eyes are stone, she said
Beautiful and dead
And I wish you well

I took a turn on this carousel
How long ago
Now I never can tell
I never stopped to wonder
Maybe a morning
Maybe a thousand years
I only walk high wires
I tend an eden of magnolias dying

Although I'm coarse and primitive
I wish love, Lord
I wish love could live
Forever
What I once saw burning bright as hell
Now here comes that weird chill
I don't stop to wonder

I threaded her name through the needle's eye
As it frayed
Tied the ends and stitched it up
and hung my head down and wept
But I wish you well
Who'll pray for the killer's sake
I used to be so wide awake

Like certain mornings that last a thousand hours

Although I'm coarse and primitive
I wish love, lord
I wish love could live
Forever
I'm burning bright as hell
Here comes that weird chill
But I wish you well
Your eyes are stone, she said
Truly beautiful and dead
I wish you well
I only ride on this carousel
I never really stop to wonder

(another gem)

I always get like this but when I really like something I get a little obessed. I love the lyrics to "Only" by NIN.

am becoming less defined as days go by fading away (you might say)

I�m losing focus, kind of drifting into the abstract in terms of how I see myself

Less concerned about fitting into the world, your world that is

It doesn�t really matter anymore, no it doesn�t really matter, none of this really matters anymore

Yes I am alone, but then again I always was as far back as I can tell

I think maybe it is because you were never really real to begin with

I just made you up to hurt myself, I just made you up to hurt myself

And it worked-Yes it did

There is no you, there is only me

There is no you, there is only me

There is no fucking you, there is only me

There is no fucking you, there is only me

Only me, Only me, Only me

Well the tiniest little dot caught my eye and it turned out to be a scab

And I had a funny feeling, like I just knew it was something bad

I just couldn�t leave it alone and I kept picking at that scab

Like it was a doorway sealing itself shut, but I climbed through

And now I am somewhere I am not supposed to be and I can

See things that I really shouldn�t see

Now I know why and now I know why things aren�t as pretty on the inside

There is no you, there is only me

There is no you, there is only me

There is no fucking you, there is only me

There is no fucking you, there is only me
