Clean The Wounds One More Time…
My heart is out of tune from who I’ve becomeAnother cigarette and I’ll understand the soundBuilding in my head like a funeral processionIf being dead was the answer I’ve known for a whileWhat it was that I wanted to do with this lifeDifferent words have different meaningsSaid out loud or…

Spoke Too Soon… Left Behind…
Rusty strings pressing against the skinThe sharp steel it hurtsPlaying along to a song inside my headIt sounds like the silenceOf a heartbeat that can’t dieTold myself one too many liesNot sure what to believe any moreGood enough… adequate… uselessThe rusty strings tighten against the skinLeaving their mark… cutting… digging…

It Wasn’t Always Quite So Bad…
If the right decision was the wrong oneI’m not too sure I’d get it right thenIf making any choice was to be madeWithout a doubt I’d have to turn aroundIf the right idea was the wrong wayI’m not too sure it would matter any wayIf making any choice lead me…

The Thoughts Were So Loud…
The scars rip openTearing the tissueThe scars rip openAll over againTo reveal the forgottenMemories of a hidden painThe scars rip openExposing me for what I amThe scars rip openAll over againTo reveal I’m still here “It’s hard to think of these people as anything other than what they are.

You Don’t Know Me… Probably For The Best Long Term At Least…
Empty space the mind begins to dripA slippery substance that most wouldn’tConsider to be living or deadWords and phrases to let the time slipWith a mouth sewn shut tight they’d neverListen to a thought I’d ever have to sayThe secrets of a universe that doesn’t existI wanted to love you……

Important To Make More Dirt…
Told myself I could butI couldn’tMy ego isn’t that of oneWho can weather the stormConstantly building in my headI wanted more and nowI don’tMy self-esteem is that of someoneWho could disappear like a ghostConstantly dying in my headI had more to say and knowI wouldn’tNever designed to go any furtherThan…

Room 237… Isn’t For Everybody…
With a head so cloudyCan’t see the sun for what it isEven stillThese feelings don’t want to die in meExposed and lying openI don’t think either one of thoseMeans what I think it doesWith a head so heavyFeel like a zombieWandering through this slowlyThese feelings don’t seemTo want to let…
