i can't think of a better song right now.

vacate is the word...vengeance has no place on me or her
cannot find the comfort in this world
artificial tear...vessel stabbed...next up, volunteers
vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere...
a truant finds home...and a wish to hold on...
but there's a trapdoor in the sun...immortality...
as privileged as a whore...victims in demand for public show
swept out through the cracks beneath the door
holier than thou, how?
surrendered...executed anyhow
scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor...
a truant finds home...and a wish to hold on too...
he saw the trapdoor in the sun...
immortality...
i cannot stop the thought...i'm running in the dark...
coming up a which way sign...all good truants must decide...
oh, stripped and sold, mom...auctioned forearm...
and whiskers in the sink...
truants move on...cannot stay long
some die just to live...
ohh.

    Ooooh man! I remember the first time I heard this I was just STUCK. Soooo gorgeous. I remember me and my friends all had our automatic favs from the record and this one was definitely mine. I mean right away it grabbed me and has actually stuck with me since. I love this song in every way that one could possibly love a song. It's incredible. :)

    Good call a leash. ;)

    ed has a powerful way with words. that is for sure.

    Wow, a thread dedicated to me! j/k
    Actually, I do love this song of course but it's not in my top 10 or something. Probably top 20, though. I guess i was going a little overboard w/ the username. oh well it was a long time ago.

    Incredible song. My favorite. Vitalogy would have been a good cd w/o Immortality but this makes it one of the best. Just my humble opinion.

    I've been listening to this song all damn day. It's definitely one of the many PJ songs that get better and better with each listen.

    SUCH an awesome song!!!

    I just started to listen to it the other day, and I have hardly stopped. It is just too good for me not to listen to it nonstop. It's a good song if you're sad, or even if you're indifferent (although that has its own tune).

    Anyways, I love this song.

    This is my favorite song. It has such powerful lyrics. Does anyone believe that the song is about Kurt Cobain? Eddie insists it was written before Kurt's unfortunate death but it has so many coincidental ties to Kurt.
