Clouds (Alice Is Screaming)

I never knew you and I never will
All I know is you had clouds in your eyes
It shouldn't be enough to make the venom rise
Yet that's what it did to you

I've seen your face in photographs
In each one you looked like someone new
The lines of scribbly black told me true
You gave it to me after they took it from you

And I'm full of nothing, and I'm nearly dead
And Alice is screaming, and we've all lost our heads
Just think of tomorrow, when yesterday is small
Will any of us matter, be anything at all?

I never knew you and I never will
All I know is you still have clouds in your eyes
Like no one does but you
21 years it took the void to fill
That's what it did to you

I'll never know you
Clouds are in your eyes
As I look in the mirror
I see venom rise

Is this what I did to myself?
Is this my fate?
Could I stop it?
Or is it too late?

And I'm full of nothing, and I'm nearly dead
And Alice is screaming, and we've all lost our heads
Just think of tomorrow, when yesterday is small
Will any of us matter, be anything at all?
