Nothing Like You

Just for a day what if I was brave? What if I told you it all looks the same? I contemplate these decisions I make. With good intentions I'll try not to break. Under lights you watch me move. What if I'm nothing like you. Pull the plug. Count me out. What if you lose? What if I'm nothing like you. Tear me down. Carve me out. Fill me with confidence then watch me drown. I stagnate here, buried underneath. Supply me with air then force me to breathe. What if I'm right? I never needed you.

It's Never Easy

Nobody will ever know. But I'll survive these winter months with a bone to pick and some time to kill. Can you find me? I'm not hard to miss. I'm the one relying on the broken pieces. Try to reason with this emptiness. I'm not miserable enough to feel like this. I searched for hope on the inside but there's nothing here to find. I'm the conversation that fades away and dies. I'm the apologies to everyone that wanted something out of me. I'm the failed attempts at trying to find my place. Why can't this be easy? Could you open up my eyes? Cause if I lay here long enough all this dust covers my mind. I'll teach myself how to lose. Buy all the lies and end up just like you. Try to reason with this emptiness, it never ended. So I guess it's just a gift I have to live with. I'm not miserable enough to feel like this. If I'm broken down this bad why can't I just give in? I found these pieces but they just don't fit. The feelings all still remain I'll wipe the dust away.

Fiction

If I follow my heart it'll just let me down. I'm a story without an end, a king without a crown. Is this a perfect situation to let it all go. Will I wake up from this nightmare? Will you please just take me home? So here I am not a muscle moved. Do you like to watch the world pass by cause I think I like it too. Am I not what you expected? How am I supposed to believe? When you wrap me up in fiction and shoot down my daydreams. But I ask myself everyday. How do I survive when my time has an expiration date. If less is more I'd be well on my way. I'm pictured perfect, toxic, and stained. These numbers say years, but if feels more like days. I'm back with a vengeance, armored to the teeth. You keep reminding me that this life I lead, is never as bad as it seems. But I don't trust anyone, like I used to. And I, fall much harder here without out you. And I tell myself everyday. Anything I do now it won't matter anyway. This clock keeps ticking and I can't get to bed. How do I function, where do I begin? I'm not one for talking, so stay out of my head. I don't trust anyone, and I fall much harder here without you.

93 Trees

This constant frustration will be the bane of my existence. No matter how you slice it, it still feels so inconsistent. I bought the last ticket to my train of thought. They'll drop me off at the next stop. Back in 93 when the trees were tall and the leaves were green, I wasn't even alive to see it. I walk with a chip on my shoulder, the other one's cold by late October. People say I'm a blast to be around. I just can't help myself, give me a shovel I'll dig till I'm worn out. Look at all this progress I've made. I watch bridges burn for fun, maybe the ice in my veins makes me feel numb. But people also say I think too much.

Safe and Sorry

So here I am safe and sorry. I can't live both lives you know? You take an inch, I'll take a mile. Cause that's just the way I've always been. I'm so bent out of shape. I'm so out of control. I bit the bullet and cut all my ties. I can't hear you anymore. I never expected this much out of you. If you're digging shallow graves you might as well dig two. I'm so hard on myself. I'm so worn paper thin. I tell myself it's never easy, breaking the nerve just to feel something different. To loosen up the noose. Cause when you've got nothing left to give, I have nothing left to prove. A little more to the left. You can break my neck. I try so hard to remember. Why do I always forget? So here I am, I'm safe and sorry.
