This heavy feeling in my chest sinks
while eyes like wells swell and stream down in streaks
I lay awakened in the darkness
as it wraps around my sudden sadness
It holds me here, constricted;
by my own self I am convicted
to this cell, a hell I call home,
the only place I have ever roamed
The ghost of my past haunts me,
a never-ending reminder of what once was and what could be
Lost: in space, in time, in thought
I am the forgotten and distraught

'There's a thousand tales in her scars
And ten thousand words in her eyes
Her heart is big enough for two
But she isn't real
And I can't make her real
She has a love of every man and woman
A care of every being that lives
And eyes that say she needs you
But she isn't real
And I can't make her real
I've made up the stories about her
I've conjured the way she thinks
I've ignored the way that she is
Because she isn't real
And I can't make her real
Am I the only one who sees past the veil?
The only one who looks in my mirror
And doesn’t like what I see
She isn’t real
Because that side of me isn’t real

you let the lightning light your fuse,
and then the rain came down in torrents.
pretended to fix it, sceaming "I AM ZEUS!",
but somehow you really weren't.
we had to pack our tents, get up and go,
shuffle back to the problematic truck.
however it made no sense to put up a show,
we both knew the **** thing was stuck.
I've only ever camped out in my garden or my friend's garden. Let's hope I never get stranded in the wild, eh? :)
