American I'm just going to write
We came together at an odd crossroads Tumultuous paths the decision yet to come I wish we could have met later I can see we could make each other happy But not now Not at this point in our lives Too much going on Too much indecision You and I are not meant for now We've met at this crossroads Sharing the same look in our eyes Hunger Want Desire But not now between us We've conversed at this crossroads An obvious connection most definitely But something held back the intimacy Some feeling that if we connected now These crossroads would be our home That cannot be, our hearts crave adventure But down different paths we must travel I hope our paths cross again later Who knows what the future will hold I only know Not now

I held the gun to my head Loaded .357 Blow my head off It'll be better The cutting didn't help anymore No physical pain hurt deep enough To dull my tormented soul I pulled the trigger . . . Nothing. The chamber refused to release it's fiery doom upon me That'll make you feel more a failure **** I couldn't even **** myself right That's a kick to the soul To hear the click of that hammer fall, and nothing To be left still seated and alive

They say you shouldn't drink your feelings away don't they? Well I'm trying my damnedest, and it's not working. I try to drink you off my mind like those old country songs. I try to drink myself to sleep hoping I don't dream of you. Neither work The drunker I get the more space you take in my head I fear the sleep will never come My decade long battle with the insomnia that consumes my mind Only seems amplified with you stuck in it What am I to do? I guess I'll drink some more, and maybe morning won't come to find me.

In the time since I haven't got you off my mind Mostly everything Everything I could have said Everything I should have said I fear though my chance to say it all, is past What have I done with my silence What have I not done is the greater prose My soul cries out in the dark In the time since

Is it really so narcissistic of me To have the desire to be the person To make someone's life better?

There are chinks in my walls though tall they may be Spots of weakness Where mortar and brick were placed too hastily To cover up what was I stand an ever watchful guard upon the parapets Unwilling to unbar the gate Willing to fight to keep all out I sit alone in my false castle A great and powerful facade for me to hide within A projection of an image rather than reflection in truth If left to my own these walls will only grow Left behind them to rot They serve to build a fear of what lies beyond those walls Almost like the walls themselves I willingly seclude myself from the greatest opportunities Because it is easy. No Because I fear they be only half broken by someone To be able to see over the edge Yet still too high to make that leap I have seen that path These walls still show the marks of repair Like the rings on a tree They mark the passing of loves, friends and family I beg of you Lay siege on my walls I'm ready to see these walls come down around me Bring your greatest canon and siege works Although I am ready they will not fall without a fight Take aim at these chinks, those great fears piled like stone They will hold fast for they are old and high Yet no wall can stand forever They will fall Walls will tumble and turn to dust From the dust I will emerge free of these prison walls To see the world firsthand good and bad Please I beg of you Lay siege to my false castle

My False Castle
I flip through, song after song. Playlist after playlist Looking for those sounds to sooth my soul Nothing seems to cut it tonight I only wish to hear you sing To the world To me I only wish to hear you sing
