if you must

chain me up in your basement

do it!

just don't let me leave

I'll come up with a million reasons,

why I should leave

don't listen to them

listen to me

I deserve you

a gentleman

honest and true

So no matter how much I beg

to be free

remember, don't listen to her

just listen to me

lock me up in your basement,

hold me forever

throw away the key

bury me with spirits i betrayed

ill fall wherever your name is laid

every second that I breathe

i will chip my life away.

i will drink

i will smoke

holding words never spoke.

redemption, ascension always slow.

self harm like a mark on a stone,

im proficient in being alone,

loving walls like my life's on a reel,

but all that's real is already done.

Feeling lonely,
You wish for friends in your life,
Forever working,
For what else to do.
But when an opportunity
For fellowship arises,
Feeling lost,
You shy away,
And reject it.
Oh sweet child,
How will you break this pattern
Of monotony,
And disconnection,
And isolation,
If you avoid the one thing you crave?
