[shai Hulud Cover, Performed 4/21/2001 Albany, Ny]



Poured Myself Out:

I Am The Empty Cup

My Hope Has Died Away

And My Tolerance Faded.



How Can I Keep Stability

On Such Shaky Ground?

Prayers That A Smile Will Flag Me Down.



Sadly I've Learned There's No Truth In Comfort;

Well-being Stems Not From Love.

Anguish Proves To Be My Only Means Of Solace,

Yet I Want To Be Held By Anyone,

With Any Arms



I Spend Another Morn Alone

In A World That Rejects Me.

A Public Unkind, Laced With Apathy.

This One's For The World: I Hate You.



Life Could Get No Colder;

I'm Living Out A Dying Cell,

But I Can Pull Through.
