As time marches on And the pain subsides It is not replaced with happiness All the joy in my life remains Nothing changes Except Instead of lying awake Longing for the past Regretting the last 2 years Praying I won't wake up I lie awake And feel nothing I'm just there Waiting

WrappingPaper If you look past my words Read it as a metaphor Read my expressions Note my defenses Follow me when I run You'll see what an emotional wreck I am The littlest comment The tiniest miscommunication The slightest insult I break I'm insecure about everything Why won't it just end.  I'm tired of this *** I'm tired of the gut I'm tired of this face The skin The feet The hair There's a reason I wear a hat There's a reason I wear four layers I only like texting I hate the way my voice sounds I hate my smile I wish I could wear shades all the time I play it all off as a joke Until you leave Then I go and do things like this Or better I'm the only thing stopping me from being happy Everyone loves me I have money I had a girl I have a bear I had scars I had a drug problem Solution perhaps I haz a chezburger I have nice things I have my eyes on one thing A mirror I look inward to find possible problems Tell myself I'm gonna take care of it I never do Everything nice I do is for myself For my own self gratification Like I'm trying to become a god So they will worship me No one will be able to speak of my flaws My obvious flaws I try to help people but inside I can't see them happy I have no empathy Why should they be happy when I am not I don't do drugs so I'm better I'm smarter so I'm better I'm in BETTER shape I'm faster I'm taller I know more in the subject I'm _____er than you I know you better than you do But you know nothing of me Cuz I don't let you in I convince myself I'm someone I'm not so you won't possibly see the real me Cuz I cut And I'm depressed Because I am But I love learning But hate living But love eating But hate weight But can't throw up cuz I don't care that much I don't work out much cuz I don't care that much I don't do homework cuz I don't care that much Cuz I'm chiller than you I don't care about anything Except my self image About looking like someone who doesn't care while not letting myself go So I dream of you I cling to you Who knows what we'd do Probably nothing You'd get bored They all do Cuz I can't look like I try to love you I can't show any signs So you can't read me Cuz I'm in a different language That not even I can read I'm a dog chasing a car Or a dog with a bone You'd be buried away Just for me It's not a good life for the bone Never seeing anyone else and slowly getting eaten away I can't quite end it Something needs to complete me That's your call never to make Save me without giving in Don't fill my emptiness I'll spill it everywhere Why do I try To know me To show you I get it You can't leave cuz you don't know how You need to see me The real me And **** me so I finally can

The fire within my soul that burns for you is slowly diminishing to nothing but embers. Every night I watch as the radiant light glows dimmer and dimmer. Eventually it will be consumed by the void within my being. Then perhaps I will finally be free.

I fell in love with her All my eggs in one basket She took it all with her All that's left was a casket

Lost the meaning
Staring at the ceiling For far too long Stumbling over the thought Of what went wrong I'm out of options I can only pray For an end to this nightmare Of waking up each new day

Frozen
Your eyes showed light From a clear starry night As you stared into mine I took it as a sign As the clouds rolled in Water hit your face And fell off your chin So you found a place Next to my heart Where you'd stay warm Until the clouds would part And take away this storm But neither could resist To relieve all the pain So we had our first kiss Standing in the rain.

The drugs and the music Do little to hide That when you look in my eyes You see nothing inside Cuz when she left She left me to die So all you see are scars From the times that I tried

Made of Wax
I let her move in Knowing where she'd been It didn't scare me So I gave her a key It was going great We made a wedding date I just couldn't believe She said it didn't feel right So she decided to leave And locked it up tight Now no one will see That its empty inside Cuz she took all her things And everything else died So I try and I try To fill this black hole That is consuming my mind My heart and my soul

Inmates
My mind is still racing She has already won My heart has yet to shoot The starting gun

Nice Guys Finish Last
My tears run down like razorblades. Acoustic guitars ringing in my ears. Its just so hard for me to accept the fact, I can't make you smile like she can. i know your not the one at fault. is it her or is it me? when the words we can't say come out to play i swear i'll take all of the blame. please dont be ashamed, after all it was just a pretend kiss. i "accidentaly" lost my mind in the illusion of role play. i'm falling down asking why. you pull me up, shes breaks me down. theres no sense in playing games, you've used up all your magic and now its just me alone tonight. but soon it will be okay, soon this will all blow over. we both know this isn't worth the fight. i just want to crawl in bed and forget the life i led with you. so maybe you would forget it too. don't say this wont last forever, it's just a temporary state. i wont let this die, it's inside me tearing me apart. the mistakes i made there over to her. there over to you. water under the brigde. i can't wait to be just a memory. maybe one day you'll think of me. why didn't i just wait and see what you and me could be? i'll climb The Wall and ill be gone. could anyone help old humpty dumpty up again? my words lead to misconceptions. assumptions were made, i just needed a helping hand and pick me up if you will. good bye my friend, well meet again where the polar bear greets you with a devilish grin.
