Its hard to care when
The only thing you've loved
Has been buried in years of wastefulness,
And months of regret.
You told me to look at myself,
What a piece i've become.
And now i do,
When i'm intoxicated and nearly dead,
With my guts on the ground.
My reflection off the puddle,
The stench of a collection of teeth.
I know who i am.
I am an alcoholic,
My flesh aches for a new body.
I am a christian,
Hypocritical and a liar.
You told me to listen to myself,
How i've changed from a whisper to a scream.
And now i do,
When i'm chewing on glass bleeding from the throat,
With my tongue swollen,
My ears have never been so relieved.
I've never been so relaxed.
I know who I am.
I am an insomniac,
Vision is tempered to a point.
I am a pessimist,
God i swear i'm going to die.
An indifference figure our past has created,
And friday is coming.
A reunion I swear it,
But for now I'll just remain dead.
--------------------------------------------------------------
I know who i am.
I'm a nobody,
And you're perfect.
