The Original Name For This Was Ridiculous
I swore not to leave you
But now I don't know you
What changed you so drastically?
Was it lies by your bedside?
A glimpse of the inside
A shadow remains of once was
Torn from my own mind
Lived in my own life
Succumbing to faith I don't have
Was it all in the season?
Did it have any reason?
Would you swear on your life for me now?
A fire extinguished
You've become so distinguished
But who can you say you are when?
A life held at arm's length
A soul on it's short leash
Go on and cut it all free
No one will miss it
This day, go and kiss it
Maybe you'll bring back a smile
A walk on the lone mile
Your heart isn't on trial
Only the brains you once had
War of this same kind
Found in your own mind
Casting a bright light it's own
All fresh red roses
Alone at the window
Will wilt if you don't keep care
It's not so bad outside
But who know's what is inside?
A darkness that hides our true self
What's beneath our faces
A soul... ever tasteless
What's going on inside your head?
This rain never ending
This world ever sinning
One day I'll burn it all down
Your lack of real thinking
Your brain's always shrinking
Your own box is all you'll ever have
This life that's misleading
The trek that we're treading
Where will it all end and how?
This line begs a question
What's our destination?
Were we there before we ever left?
This is also from high school. I dug this up from an old conversation with someone on Facebook.
