A Myth

[_devonshire]

i can feel the words coming out my mouth
and it's like no one is listening to me
i have to pretend for people to talk to me
focused and confused
cold and heart filled
witty and ashamed
I'm not your typical guy
not a boy and not a man
Mr. Nice Guy went out the door
there's nothing but the beat in my chest
Demons and New Gods
Immortals and forgotten

I could be a saint
if i didn't sin so much
alone again
can't complain
nothing wrong with that
just how things go
time will tell
let's see how things fell
gone is the time of boyish joys
hope be damned
lets move on to another day

tears so tired
of running around
running me down
life was simple when i was older

i remembered that time, and forgot the rest
made a friend, found a couple of fiends
in the summer i was all grown up

Godzilla had the right idea
bounce around Tokyo
50 feet tall
King of us all
just to have people see
he was more human than me

i'm less than
more than
you want me to be
less than nothing
just listen to me scream
place my fears inside of you
feel your blood stop
chest tight
can't stand
nothing left to do
but bottle factory another load

better than
an animal
beast
or creature

savior
the chill of frost
maybe life will get better
with the gene splice of a pig and a reindeer

bent and pushed
inside out of the way
god help me
i'm better off then them
