Send "Yes Please" Ringtone to Cell

I cannot sleep
There's too much noise in my head
I cannot sleep
I want it here instead

I never thought that this could come to this
I just want to look at your face in peace now
You'll never miss
But I can

I cannot keep
The shame that's clawed us out
I will not keep
Your shut-up, shut-up lies

I never thought that this could come to this
I just want to live in bliss, in peace now
You will never miss
But I can

    General Comment:According to Matt, this is about his room-mate that he was living with when he moved out of his Grandma's house... The guy dealt coke and herion, and I guess some of their early music was inspired by how fucked up his room-mate was. Apparently Cave is about the same guy.

    General Comment:This song kind of freaks me out. Always makes me feel somewhat paranoid. This song is powerfully disturbing. Chilling....

    General Comment:"You will never miss...But I can" Is probably one of the most powerful things Matt has written. At least to me. This song makes me want to thrash.

    General Comment:Since the lyrics are pretty distorted here's all of them
    I cannot sleep
    There's too much noise in my head
    I cannot sleep
    I want it here instead

    I never thought that this could come to this
    I just wanna look at your face in peace now
    You will never miss
    But I can

    I can not keep
    The shame that's clawed us out
    I will not keep
    Your...shut up, shut up....lies!!!!

    I never thought that this could come to this
    I just wanna live in bliss, in peace now
    You will never miss
    But I can

    Has to do with a friends o Matt's who got lost to heavy drugs...think it has to with rationalizing and accepting a problem even though you know it's wrong...sorta the idea of "Stockholm Syndrome.

    General Comment:awesome song. The lyrics don't really seem too important, i think it's more the feeling of helplessness you get listening to the song. Which would reflect well on the drug addiction meaning...

    really f*cking intense, i love it
