End/Begin

[Chorus]
It starts with a picture,
And it sits in your frame.
And we part with a letter,
And it ends in my name.

And it starts with forever,
And it ends with a touch.
And I know that you're clever,
And I don't ask for much.

Maybe we forgot all the things we are, we are together.

[Verse 1]
I don't have enough time so I gotta make this fast
But god I wish we could have more time in class
If we lived closer, if we shared toasters, used coasters
Got me digging around in my memory like a gopher
I hurt you and this is the effect of my chemicals
Slowly burning my soul I need attention that isn't medical
Listening to the CD you made is self-inflicting wounds
Destruction is imminent and it's happening very soon
Stalking you on the internet, I wish things were different
I know I'm unwelcome here like a starving immigrant
Used you as an ego boost, but I fell down a few pegs
Skimping and limping around as I flip through your jpegs
What am I even doing writing this song about you?
When sadness comes you have to embrace it too
Here I am holding the hand of a lonely specter
When it was supposed to be your hand in the place of
But I really messed it up. Never expected this outcome
By any means just strike me down and x me out: Malcolm
Everything right now is so damn negative
Looking at these photos I guess is the best it'll get

[Chorus]
It starts with a picture,
And it sits in your frame.
And we part with a letter,
And it ends in my name.

And it starts with forever,
And it ends with a touch.
And I know that you're clever,
And I don't ask for much.

Maybe we forgot all the things we are, we are together.

[Verse 2]
Now I don't trust and I leave before the morning
Break it off when I get lazy or if it's too boring
Offense is the best defense so I'm always attacking
Fairy tales are all made up: nothing's everlasting
I used to be a sweet dude and now I've been poisoned
By my own malice. What can I say? I make bad choices
I should have drank clean water and flushed out my system
But now I'm chugging liquid courage and smoking wisdom
Gambling it away I don't want to feel this gray
Nights and days blend together cause I stay awake
Why is this happening? Time should be healing?
I hate this feeling and I'm staring at the wall paper peeling
Don't think about you but that's impossible
Overcoming these obstacles is too improbable
Caught an audible, I'm yelling in an empty room
I'm not completely dead, but I'll be empty soon
All books and stories can be boiled down to one question
No need for comments or any suggestions
I'm reviewing the past and I'm looking over thoughts
"Who am I" is what I'm asking and I'm lost.

[Chorus]
It starts with a picture,
And it sits in your frame.
And we part with a letter,
And it ends in my name.

And it starts with forever,
And it ends with a touch.
And I know that you're clever,
And I don't ask for much.

Maybe we forgot all the things we are, we are together.
