I have nothing but stories to tell
My thoughts to misspell
Misinterpret this feeling
This crave that I'm needing

Fill this space that I'm keeping
All to myself I live my life
All to myself I live my life

Living life on the edge
That's what the party manic said
Make it rain till you're dead
That's what the crazy manic said

When it's all done and did
Will u be happy with what u did
I got nothing but stories
All my life is a story
Writing out my story
Living life like a story
Help me write this story
Stop saying you're sorry
And help me out not you're laury

**** if I knew how not to worry
I'd take it down with no chase
Make this space a haze
Travel through my thought
Like I'm riding a jeep through an earth quake
Let all hang loose
Man do I need this *****

I live with myself with this space
I have no one to trust in and replace
The space is all for me
Me myself and this space

Tell me all your stories
Tell me all your stories
Tell me all your stories
Fiilll me up with your story
And don't tell me you're sorry
I have nothing but me myself and this space
I trust no one to replace
Me myself and this space
I love no one to replace
Me myself and this space
And all your days singe together like a symphony of cigarette smoke and sadness; feels disgusting in a beautiful way
For the longest time I've wandered
Down paths and winding roads
Only to encounter
What I've already known

The secret to my happiness
The one I call up on the phone
The only love that's in my heart
The only love I've ever shown

I've got to find my way back
From the bottom to the top
Relentless through the thick and thin
I'm never gonna stop

How could I leave you all alone
Baby I'm on my way
Baby I'm coming home
Baby I'm coming home

I'll say all the things I should have said
Do everything I can
To prove to you I've seen the light
Let you know I'm still your man

I've seen the error of my ways
I know I've made mistakes
But please, you just have to believe me
I've still got what it takes

Do you remember that first night
Our eyes met at the dance hall
You looked at me and I knew right then
It was for you that I would fall

Let's go back and rehash that moment
From where it all began
Back to all the innocence
Try to remember if you can

Let's start this whole thing over
I'm calling for a redo
I'll be a better version of myself
And you just keep being you

Can I please just have your forgiveness
Welcome me back with opened arms
This time it won't be like it was back then
When I lured you with all my charm

This is me here standing before you
No gimmicks, tricks, or games
I'm the man you fell in love with
The very one in the same

I'll get down on bended knee
Ask you if you'll be my bride
And If you'd have me as your husband
I'd be the happiest man alive
I honestly have no idea where this stuff comes from. At no point in my life have I had this happen to me. Nor do I have any idea why it was even thought of to write in the first place. Once I get a line in my head, the whole thing just takes off until I've satisfied whatever it was that made me start to begin with.

She's a peahen,
I kindled the bird,
And me her peacock.
O she loved me crazily,
She stayed here till long,
Until she'd realised it,
That she could fly.
A tribute to The Beatles' song Norwegian Wood.

****.
This isn't how it all went down in my head
I thought everything would be better
If we just got away from it all
But I guess we never noticed
Our life back home was never the problem
I was

I can't help but scream sometimes
I can't help but curl up in a ball paralyzed
By thousands of thoughts whirling around my head
Stuck there for an eternity staring blankly at the wall
You come home from the graveyard and I pretend I was sleeping
You're working and I'm ****, leeching off you
I am helpless
I am hopeless
I'm not though, if I could just focus for a minute
I could turn our life around
But our life together's not the problem
It's me
