Blame it on
Your absent father
Your addict mother
Your unexpected children
Blame it on
Anyone, and anything
So you never have to
Take responsibility
For your own actions

It's the whiskey
That hit me
It's my own shards
That tore me apart
It's a malevolent God
That lied about love
'Cause you don't do anything

Blame it on
My fragile psyche
My insecurities
My "impossible" needs
Blame it on
Anyone, and anything
So you never have to
Take responsibility
For what you've done to me

It's the cigarettes
That stole my breath
The weight of my expectations
That broke my trust
The spinning of my own wheels
That drove me into madness
'Cause you don't do anything
Everyone has a **** like this in their life.
This is the end
you never saw it coming.
Walked your life without looking backwards
without looking sideways
You walked and walked, carefully choosing your steps
while staring relentlessly at the ground,
at your clothes, at the ground again.
Never looking forward.

You forgot what the past was like
The present was a mere blur
You concentrated so much on your ground
you never saw the wall coming.

Now the wall is here.
The end is here.
The future you once so anticipated
has come before time.

Before time...
Don't try and save me.
Thousands have tried and failed,
watched disappointingly,
each time I've derailed.
Don't set of shore and raise the sails.
Im drowning,
Sinking in a sea of what could have and what should have been
There is no life boat strong enough to take back the things I've seen
withhold my weighty heart.
my soul is anchored in the the darkest parts,
The murkiest waters.
It is held down in the depths
of despair
Save your own sons and daughters.
Im a wasted rescue mission.
Throw down your ammunition
i have enough to tear myself apart.
just wanna be
without you
even for just
a moment
don't want to be
all about you
this isn't living
this is worship

what will it take
to liberate
you from
my bones?

leave me alone
leave me alone
leave me alone

I carved a great
divide that
split the world
in two halves
and everytime
you breathe
you exepell
things that
poison every
-thing

what will it take
to wash
you from
my brain?

leave me alone
leave me alone
leave me alone
more of an exercise than a poem.
here's to the inappropriate bonds
the secrets that form between us
all of the nights spent hating all
of the things that we'll never admit
and the mornings spent regretting
all the stupid things that we did

you're an alien to me
here you come
with your false light
you come creeping in
the middle of the night
all I'm left with is lost time
I've been violated
in ways I can't explain
and no one believes me

here's to the unforseen devistation
that contact has cost us
all of the days spent as strangers
not to each other but to ourselves
and all of the mornings we wake up
wishing it was yesterday...

you're an alien to me
here you come
with your false light
you come creeping in
the middle of the night
all I'm left with is lost time
I've been violated
in ways I can't explain
and no one believes me
fun little poem that I turned into a song.
