I never thought that, people really cared about me
I mean I didn't even care
I never fought back, the demons always win against me
Blissful sorrow in the air
I don't think I'm worthy of your love, yes you
The pressure pounds against my chest everyday
But selfishly I want you to stay, yes you
But I know I'll push you away
Always thought I was better by my lonesome
Couldn't hurt anybody with my ups and downs
If I call for you, please don't come
Cause all I'll do is make you frown
I'm good for no one but me
No one knows me but me
No one hates me but me
But no one loves me

Before I end this, I just want to end this
I just needed a witness
To witness this

Thank you for your time
With Alice Cooper blasting through the speakers,
I turn to my love and tell her how much I love her,
She smiles and considers it idle talk
We fly through the sky with a pocket of metal around us,
What about love makes a man that's hardened in his ways, soft?
That makes a man who had once lost all hope, full of it?
It's the year 3017
Through my cryo-sleep I never wavered
She used to cry to sleep, bad men doing bad things
Through the pain was the only way she'd sing
I wonder if she could tell how much I favored,
Her, a friend and me, pretend
Until that fateful day
Where it all changed
Where it rearranged
Where love blossomed into a flower
A key that opened doors to happiness
To feelings so immaculate
I'm free without a shadow of a doubt
She looks at me and waves, eyes
innocent
“Whatcha thinkin about?”
I get perplexed stares like there's something on my face
But there's only brown on my face
Have they never seen a ***** before?
I look around the ice capped mountains.
**** maybe they haven't.
This ***** is steep.
Cold, but not as cold as my old life
The north freezes my fears
As I create new ones
True ones
No time to fight them so they'll be permanent
I caint go back to what I once was
A shut in, who hurt whoever I let in
So now I'm really shut in
Nothing but strangers and a bottle of whiskey
The sun is my only friend here
And he rarely comes around
I think he's heard about me too
22 years later my Pops is still a superhero.
I was raised on Earth Wind and Fire
and saw the way of the world
You're a shining star
God bless the man that molded me
That carried the weight of boulders
That tried and tried and has never quit
Thank you old man
Cool, maybe like a fan
Here's a token of appreciation, from your biggest one
Spinning heads, whispered “dead”
That place won't find me again
Nurses violent, thoughts are silent
That place won't find me again
Snapping necks, repulsive ***
That place won't find me again
I beg your pardon?
No I'm better now
But not because of that place.
Pepper spray, hoses spray
That place is oppressive
How can you help me if you're sick too?
How can you cure my mind with that needle?
Your organization is *****, every dose is lethal
But it's such a shame your pills don't work
Swallowing has gotten me far
My words, my pride, please clear your mind
Sit down, unwind, as I tell you the story of how I lost mine
‪Money in my pocket I got dues to pay‬
‪My shine made sure they've never taken my light away‬
‪But my shine ain't enough to guide the way‬
‪Let me find a way‬
‪Idle is the mind when you're going through the motions‬
‪Never being myself, always fighting off emotions ‬
‪You see this blank face?‬
‪That's me at any time, in any place‬
‪My friends don't know me like they think they do‬
‪Truth be told I thought I knew too‬
‪A wild card plays wild cards‬
‪Don't trust me, don't rush me‬
‪You're so lucky these thoughts escape you ‬
‪Started in a happy place but look where I've come back to‬
I haven't ever felt like I needed anyone.
People lie cheat and steal til there's nothing left.
Who has my best interest at heart?
Hard for me to trust a man.
Would you **** me to save yourself?
Would you put a price on my head?
Hard for me to trust a woman.
Would you lie to get what you want from me?
Would you take my heart for granted?
Maybe I'm just paranoid.
There are days when I'm in love with everything and everyone.
My words are sweet and shallow.
And others when I don't know why I keep going on.
As hard as I search, I can't find anything to truly live for.
But I'll keep trudging on.
There's still much to do, much to learn.
