Sad Screaming Old Man

I'm used to apartments with walls that are weak Sometimes I hear it all, if my neighbours must speak But the recent apartment and bedroom I got Started out seeming decent more boring than not For two or three years nothing happened at all There was an old man next door, that I would see in the hall He shuffled politely, wears an old suit You know a standard old geezer, A quiet old Coot He used to seem normal but then all at once He started these nocturnal groanings and runts It's hard to get used to, it gives me the creeps Pretty much every night now he screams when he sleeps Dark night of our souls, Dark night of our heart Dropping down the bottomless hole I just need to get some sleep, I don't know when I might begin, But I don't want another minute In this same old story, purgatory Stop the torture, old man and please don't be myself from the future. If it was a dog bark or a screaming infant I'd probably be fine, back to sleep in an instant Picture me lying there, alone in my bed When this old man just lets out these shrieks near my head And now every night at like three in A.M. I get woken up by this miserable mayem Who's being dismembered, what the Hell's wrong I'm feared he will send me insane before long And it makes me afraid, just to be me like I'am It could be my fatal moments screaming old man Tell me what did he do? In his youth, for this torture And what about him Is it true is that he's me in the future Dark night of our soles Dark night of hearts Dropping down the bottomless hole. I just need to get some sleep I don't where I might begin But I don't want another minute In this same old story, Purgatory Stop the torture Old man And please don't be my myself from the future I'm used to apartments with walls that are weak Sometimes I hear it all, if my neighbours would speak But the recent apartment and bedroom I got Started out seeming decent more boring than not But now it's like trying to sleep In some Guantanamo cell block Or some hospital hell hole for some horrible shell-shock Or some Medieval dungeon with sadistic conditions Or some pitiful someone is getting whipped while you listen And you know in the dark, when your mind is just spinning You get visions of weird things, there's no end or beginnings I just thought for a bit and end up screaming some more I'm scared that's it's me and I'm the him from before I guess that It's paranoid, fantasies of drive-by scenario's That seem dumb in the daylight, but Ponaro gets very told Dark night of our soles Dark night of hearts Dropping down the bottomless hole. I just need to get some sleep I don't where I might begin But I don't want another minute In this same old story purgatory Stop the torture Old man And please don't be my myself from the future Well you know Jeffrey, it's true what you say I once was like you then I turned out this way I lived my whole life, complaining love wasn't there It was never enough to sacrifice for a care And I once had a cat and one or two Pals And I would go and hang out sort of that way you do now But now all I can do now, is just scream in the dark There's the pain inside ninety year empty and heartless If you grow seeking freedom you're a rose breathing bloom So you know it's already leading you down the road to this room Though I'd get glory from war and dark and entrenched Then i spent forty years in a park, on a bench And I throw away substantially, hopeless eventually You just permanently shrieking like me, Like you were meant to be I was sent out as a warning, but as an acceptance So accept it It is already written It is already happening It's already here AAARRrrrrrrggggghhhhhhhhh...
