Am I Missing?
Joe Perkins Nov 2013
Look around
What do you see?
Is it the writing on the walls?
Disguised this paint
I'm scared to call

I don't get out much
I'm stuck in a rut
Pain is my blanket
That I cover myself with when I sleep
I'm ready to fall

Am I missing?
The ghost of the past
Turn a blind eye
And them turn out the lights

I remember
What you would say
Ghost notes
And a bottle of mistakes
This house is a ghost town
And it's my biggest fear

Am I missing?
The ghost of the past
Turn a blind eye
It's a battle of one
Love drunk's a *****
Dig my own grave
And leave it up to you

Cloudless thoughts (I'm falling)
The suffocating (I'm falling)
Intoxicated thoughts
And I can't drive them away

Am I missing?
Oh, am I missing?
So please turn out the lights

Left For Dead
Joe Perkins Nov 2013
Falling through empty space
You're not here
No one to help me
When my end is near
I wish I could see you
Held in my arms
But you left last night
And now you're so far

If I could
Take it all away
Would you still love me
Or move on to better days
Confusing thoughts
Circle through my head
You left me broken
And I'm left for dead

You'll never return
I'm sitting here alone
This silence surrounds me
I wander in the unknown
Calling your name
It's terribly easy
To answer at the sound
But you can't hear me

If I could
Take it all away
Would you still love me
Or move on to better days
Confusing thoughts
Circle through my head
You left me broken
And I'm left for dead

— The End —
