lyrics

You swore black was white
But there was no end in sight
As you typed your life away
You won't come out with me
As I know you'd rather be
With the book that won't be read

Edit, credit, just in case someone said it
Perfection without direction
The moth eaten years
And the ink drop tears
Fall on the book that won't be read

Don't stop until you drop
Don't stop until you drop
Don't stop until you've given every fibre of your being
Your heart and soul
Start to lose your mind
And lose control

I swore white was black
And I'll never take it back
It's worth it, of course it is
And how I feel must be how all the geniuses (idiots) felt
When they wrote their books that no one read
