New song
stricken by a chronic case of melancholia, i decided to write a new song... this is it... there might be one more verse on the end... if there is, i will update and you will no longer see this forward
---------------------------
I light another cigarette
with no desire to smoke it
Don't know why i feel the need
Guess I want something to choke me
Guess I like the ashen taste in my mouth
Sit here in an apartment empty
don't have the will to leave
Replay the words sent from your lips
Trying hard not to believe
That you could kill it all in an instant
Trying hard not to accept the fact
That a two year chase just went down the drain
Just hoping when I make it back
That some good in me will still remain
I turn out every light that shines
Listen to the wind rip past my room
Want to rope it, ride it, sail away
Still no escape from a silent tomb
Even the brightest glare still reeks of gloom
And I'm trying hard to escape my past
But I can't live it down, these tears of a clown
Guess it's time to live underneath this mask
And let no one know this smile hides a frown
* Is there anybody out there?
Or are you all pictures in my mind?
Am I the only one to save me?
And with this new sight am I still blind?
Blue light breaks a tunnel dark
Pull from my side a tooth of shark
Nerve ends frayed wires pulled apart
Grab the cable shock the heart
But why do I try to believe these dreams
Visions of screams ripping at the seams
Why don't I see I can't be this weak
When a new face beams, leads me to the stream
