Alive

July 13th, 2009

Fake as plastic
Real as pain
These unhappy thoughts
Run through my veins
They spread around
They make me feel
It hurts to know
It’s just too real
And there you are
Acting like I’m not here
You said you’d be the one who gets hurt
But that was me, my dear
I’m screaming so loud
Please just let me go
It’ll be a secret
No one needs to know
Closer to the edge
Heart beating stronger
And all that I thought was real
Couldn’t be wronger
Fake as the lies you spread
Real as the pain you put me through
Sinking in like quicksand
So slowly with nothing I can do
Story of my life
I can’t believe you lied
So slowly you killed me
But I’ve never felt more alive than when I died

I Don’t Know

May 18th, 2009

I don’t know what to do
I just feel so alone
You used to keep me grounded
Now you won’t pick up the phone
I don’t know how I feel
It just can’t be real
As hours turn to days
I don’t know how to deal
I don’t know who I am
It gets worse every day
And the hardest part of life
Is just breathing through each day

Unified

May 20th, 2019

We all face our own demons
We all hold a different perception
And we all see something distorted
When we catch our own reflection
We all lead different lives
We all have our own struggle
Then we all appear content
Because the emotions we show are subtle
We all pretend we’re not these people
We all feel this indefensible
But if we all can’t accept ourselves
Then we’ll never learn we’re not dispensable
