I, the Capital of me
I, the ego supreme
I, the icon of ‘I can’
I, the eye of pride
I, the selfish fish
I, the mite vs. meek
I, the confident
I, the dogma
I, the enigma
It is I that blinds eye

looking back at my past
none of those hearts were ever mine
only the arrow was meant to last
embedded in my fractured spine

love lost is better than love never found
I see no difference in the two
hindsight is far less confound
foresight can be a hopeful fool

looking back at my past
only my heart was truly mine
love affairs, i've had my last
another broken valentine

I can tell, this day will be a long one
starting out, i smoke myself a strong one
I don't know if i will make it in the long run
so many roads, i always choose the wrong one

later on, i'll have to pop a klonopin
when feelings go off, then come on again
i don't know if i can make it on a bend
so many people, but i can't call on a friend

soon, i'm going to need a tall one
then i can get my staring at the wall done
people tell me that this world can be all fun
there's good times, but I can't recall none

walking in the rain
he looks down at the street
***** tongues flapping
rubber soles of defeat

his lips are moving
they think he's insane
all he is doing
is talking to the pain

where is he going
he doesn't care
away from the closing
of doors in repair

those doors were slamming
right in her face
they fell off the hinges
he fell out of place

i've been living on the fly for a while
a dive from the sky for a sight of the vile
i tried to find out why they can cry with a smile
but they decide to lie and die in denial

they divide the ties and put eyes on trial
hiding behind a blinding pride with guile
buying is their guide to arriving in style
vying for the high life with titles they compile

and i have no way to get home

looks like i'm stuck in the muck and the muddle
out of luck where i was put just to hush in the struggle
cuffed to this crust is just enough to bust my bubble
another **** to fuss and cuss in the dust and rubble
