Black Hole
Somewhere inside my twisted mind
Lay a dozen memories I left behind
So many tragedies I've repressed
Locked deep inside, held in my chest
So much I wish to never remember
Fade away as does a burning ember
But the pain they caused never fades
So I bleed, I weep behind closed shades
Happiness to me is an unattainable goal
Because in my heart lies a gaping hole
A deep, black hole no amount of love can fill
A hole I tried to mend with a prescription pill
But this hole has proven it's here to stay
So I tried to smoke the pain away
Try to forget about it all for just a little while
Try to remember what it's like to smile
But when you get high, you gotta come down
And so once again, my smile becomes a frown
I can't even tell what's real anymore
And I never could figure out what this life's for
So I give up, and I lay myself down to sleep
Knowing that all this pain is mine to forever keep
Lay a dozen memories I left behind
So many tragedies I've repressed
Locked deep inside, held in my chest
So much I wish to never remember
Fade away as does a burning ember
But the pain they caused never fades
So I bleed, I weep behind closed shades
Happiness to me is an unattainable goal
Because in my heart lies a gaping hole
A deep, black hole no amount of love can fill
A hole I tried to mend with a prescription pill
But this hole has proven it's here to stay
So I tried to smoke the pain away
Try to forget about it all for just a little while
Try to remember what it's like to smile
But when you get high, you gotta come down
And so once again, my smile becomes a frown
I can't even tell what's real anymore
And I never could figure out what this life's for
So I give up, and I lay myself down to sleep
Knowing that all this pain is mine to forever keep
