he said that he was homeless
on the other end of a telephone
his momma said she'd send her prayers
but prayers can't build a home

he has always known this
to be lost in a nowhere zone
from his birth there was no one there
and he was left so all alone

he said that he was homeless
she said "well, you're on your own"
it was hard to know that no one cared
only love could build a home
Hold me close tonight,
I need your arms wrapped around me
Before the pieces of me tumble like a game of jenga,
I'm trying my best to see the last page of my story,
But I think it's only a matter of time till I decide to end my story,

So hold me close tonight
While you fill my head with beautiful fantasies,  
Before I decide to insert lead into it tonight,  
Intoxicate me with your voice,
Before I intoxicate myself with deaths poison tonight,
Give me the oxygen that I have been gasping for,
Before I decide to close the path to my lungs tonight,

Pull the mask off of me,
So you can see past the illusion of my smile,
So you can see that I'm in need of help,
Hold me tonight,  
Before you have to hold the stone with my name on it.
Sometimes people are crying for help and we don't know it.
If you're still standing,
You're a lucky one.
If you're alive, still hoping,
You're the lucky one.
The ravens have passed me countless times,
They made me write countless rhymes;
Trying to find the rhythm of my heart,
Like fitting broken pieces of art,
All of my efforts will never do
If I can't even get to you.
I know not of what true love is.
I know of what I feel is bliss.
I love deeply more than lust,
Yet I still bite the dust;
My heart's always been split into two;
I still think the other half is you.
I never know if you'd ever love me back,
And that is enough to feel alack,
My head keeps showing me memories,
It isn't nice, though they are pleasantries.
I hate that I miss your skin that smelled like sea,
I hate that I long the times when you laughed gullibly,
I hate that I still care after all these years of wishing,
I hate that I still love you, though you're never caring.
I wish you could read this,
But that would be something amiss;
Knowing my angels sing of your name,
Would be our destruction and I am to blame.
It's better to hide in muddy waters
Than to be clear and still break like none matters.
I'm still standing,
Why am I not the lucky one?
I'm still hoping,
**That's why I'll never be the lucky one.
It's better if that someone didn't know
