I'm going to do some traveling

but I won't get too far

I've got an ounce of madness, and

an Epiphone guitar


3 20s in my wallet, so

it won't be long, you see

and I feel like I need someone

to come along with me



so come with me into the waters

I need some company

we'll cast this heavy world aside

and float on apathy



so follow close, don't lose your step

I think I have a plan

we do this right and things

will never hurt the same again

I'll be there for you

...

when it works out for me

but,

I don't feel like

feeling

anymore

so

I'm gonna

take

a step back

and try

to just

"be"










I'm pretty sure

the universe

won't

miss me

too much

I'll be back

when I

feel more like

"adulting"

She told me she don't want me,
yet she was willing
to drive*
seven hours
*from Pennsylvania
to take my dogs

I'm unsure of myself
I'm...
in need of some help
I can't
stand to be late
and I can't gain any weight


I have some really bad teeth
and I talk in my sleep
and
I'm still quite disturbed
but I'm pretty good with words

I've been
over 6 weeks clean
but I'm not sure what it means
am I a monster or a man?
I don't know who the **** I am

I'd rather struggle than to ask
how to complete a simple task
so I don't quite do what I could
and don't learn lessons like I should

my friends say I'm a literal fire
my clan says I'm a pro dragon flyer
it's safe to say that I'm the man
when it comes down to Clash Of Clans

I know my way around six strings
I'll even kinda-sorta sing
and I can analyze for days
but I don't understand my ways

Was so afraid to love again
from times that I've been hurt

somehow I knew that the next time
would surely be the worst



she fought her way past all the guards
and blasted through the walls

she stripped away my foolish pride
and then she changed it all



and by the time she finished up
I was a different man

I'm 6 weeks sober, in good shape
but don't know who I am



I gave up all my secrets, too
she kept her mystery

and in disgust, she turned away
from my dark history



she pointed out what I did wrong
and left me in the night

when I had given up my past
and started doing things "right"

Cold-hearted, discarded

unwanted, unloved

it doesn't matter what I do

it's never good enough



I'm left again without the one

I just can't live without

I wanted so much to believe

but still, I had my doubts



I cauterized the wound

but I can't seem to stop the pain

it's eating at my insides now

it's driving me insane



all my faith I put in you

I viewed you as my savior

there's nothing that I wouldn't do

to try and win your favor



although the distance seemed too vast

you felt like coming home

but it don't really matter now

forever I'm alone
Despite the state lines I really, truly thought that we could be together someday, but now it seems that day will never come. I seen a very bright future for the both of us, but now it seems there never really was an "us".

And no, I'm not going to go looking for anybody to replace you, because I don't really want anybody else. I want you, I ******* need you in my life.  

     But hey, if nothing else, you have opened my eyes to my true potential, and you have set me on the right path. And I will always be thankful for that. I just really wish that I could've somehow walked that path with you.

But at this point I'm sure that you hate me more than you ever have, which is really ****** up, because finally, I'm on the right track. I'm finally doing the right thing. I finally finished putting my past behind me, and I came out clean on the other side, STD-free and 6 weeks sober.


I just don't get it. Why now?

these wounds that fester, left behind
these demons that I keep inside
make my heart race, they leave me reeling
but it's okay, it's just my feelings

and all the things I left unsaid
I took my leave, left you for dead
I couldn't find a way of dealing
but that's okay, it's just your feelings

can't take it back, but for what it's worth
I'd do anything to fix the hurt
it will take time, but I think you're healing
i'm sorry that I hurt your feelings

there's nothing that I wouldn't do
right now to make it up to you
but when I try, you leave me reeling
but babe, it's fine, it's just my feelings

more therapy and more blood tests
i'm clean, but you're still not impressed
I'm not the past with which you're dealing
but you still wanna **** my feelings

don't takee wrong when I complain
you know I love you anyways
these scars you left me are still healing
but I'll be fine, it's just my feelings

I don't know if I'm still quite sane
but lately I enjoy the pain
I love this rush that leaves me reeling
so go ahead and **** my feelings

I got my doctor on the line
she said my blood work shows I'm fine
just gotta find a way of dealing
*'cos no one cares about my feelings
