[TOM] What is this thing in my hand? Does it breathe or understand The things I went through The things Tim went through For it? I submit The hell I've been thinkin'? My heart is so empty Everyone's dying And that includes me too I was gone long before you If I fail you one more time The punishment won't match the crime 'Cause there' no pain that could ever explain How I let you down And if I fail you one more time The mountain I would have to climb Is so high up that I would have to die Oh, I I failed you once and I will fail again Does he see a father Who doesn't even bother To get to know him To really know his soul And his role Maybe he's happy I wouldn't have any idea Maybe the route is in simply ending the drought So why not find out? If I fail you one more time Or if I fail to recognize What you need Or when you need me to be around And if I fail to hear your voice Or if I make the easy choice The world would tear asunder, drowning all Oh, I I failed you once, and I would fail again When I turned nine We went to the 99 cent store I wanted a pop gun That looked like they used in the Corps Knowing my dad, I knew the chance was slim He got me a cheaper dagger But deep down it didn't matter I was with him Where's Tim? She used to like bars She liked to loosen me up Just to get at my heart She'd poke at each of my wounds To see what I'd say And now, she's doing the same And then, flash- And then, flash- If I fail you one more time The punishment won't match the crime 'Cause there's no thing that could ever explain How I let you down And if I fail you one more time The mountain I would have to climb Is so high up that I would have to die Oh, I I failed you once, but I won't fail again [WIGGLY (spoken)] No, Tom, listen to me: Tickle my belly-well Stay asleep, stay in Drowsy Town [TOM (spoken)] You're not that cute, are you? In fact, you're real fuckin' ugly
