Welcome To My Life

welcome to my life

full of glitz and glamour

**** and clamor

 

stipper poles and alcoholic binges

dark holes and ***** syringes

 

happiness then suicide

smiles and selfish pride

 

 

i get so high

and fall so low

i get so happy

and then i just dont know

what am i doing here in this god forsaken place

 

the guitar helps me get through

the words help me make sense of it all

melody flows through me

the butterflys churn endlessley in my stomach

 

waiting for the crowd to assemble

waiting for the silence to rumble

waiting for the stage to go dark

waiting for the spotlight and the spark

 

and then i sing

o

i sing

to everyone and to no one

 

and then all my glorious, decadent **** for a life somehow shines

when those empty sea of eyes meet mine

and i sing a song

and i sing a song
