What is the point Of running Of eating salad for lunch And for dinner Of swimming and lifting Of taking such good care of your body Just to fill it with alcohol And **** And ******* Are you trying to counteract the effects To make up for it, To hide? Seems to me if you are going to waste a beautiful youthful body, You might as well waste it all.

Drugs
There's a hole in my chest; I filled it with pain It brought me no gain Perhaps it was for the best. There's a hole in my chest; I filled it with gaiety It all leaked out, leaving me quite empty Perhaps it was for the best. There's a hole in my chest; I filled it with friends But I am still left alone at the end Perhaps it was for the best. There's a hole in my chest; I filled it with pleasure There was never enough to measure Perhaps it was for the best. There's a hole in my chest; I filled it with resentment and bitterness. Something is still amiss. Perhaps it is for the best.

For The Best
These things you said to me, I was hoping they would set me free. Instead I sit here with wandering mind; My heart is really in quite the bind. I think that I should be happy, But instead I feel a little empty. Whether or not this is worth it: I guess I'll find out bit by bit. So I'll turn my music a little louder, Pull back my shoulders and stand a little prouder. Life goes on, with or without you.

Feelings
you used to make me feel like i was unstoppable floating soaring higher than the rest of the world on wings you gave me. now i feel weighted heavy flightless i reach out to you my heart on a string you cut it. every time it falls breaks shatters a million pieces. but this time maybe things will be different this time you will look at me those eyes so many feelings you will say something new.
