Even Stranger Things

It's been so long, can't remember the beginning.

I feel like a failure, even when I'm winning.

Through your eyes, I realize, I'm paralyzed

but the world keeps spinning.

 

and that's a concept, I haven't really grasped yet.

I got doubts , for things I haven't asked yet.

a brief cold answer, Grief and Anger

a figure in a casket.

 

I guess we're both just at a standstill

We're both things that we can't stand still.

It's touch and go, you should know,

it's usual, a broken soul CAN ****

 

You say, "that shouldn't be how a 'man' feels."

I'm just exhausted, that I am ill.

So many questions, regrets, what ifs,

Swear I could fill a landfill.

 

So full, that it can spill,

I used to know between the fake and real

a mountain grown from an anthill,

Heart so heavy, I carry, an anvil.
