Millstone by Brand New I used to be such a burning example I used to be so original I used to care I was being cared for And made sure I showed it to those that I love I used to sleep without a single stir Cause I was about my father's work Take me out tonight This ship of fools I’m on will sink I’m my own stone around my neck If you’d be my breathe There is nothing I wouldn't give I used to pray like God was listening I used to make my parents proud I was the glue that kept my friends together Now they don't talk and we don't go out I used to know the name of every person I’d kissed Now I’ve made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it Take me out tonight This ship of fools I’m on will sink I'm my own stone around my neck If you’d be my breathe There is nothing I wouldn't give Things that were heard at the scene of the accident: "They never hit their brakes..." "There was no time to see..." "He just ran out in the street..." "Does anybody know his name?" "I think I recognize him..." "He sure as hell paid for that mistake..." It's been a bad week, and i don't see things getting better any time soon... I'm not happy at the moment. I'm confused; I think i'm even depressed... which i'm sure wouldn't be a first... I've thought about going to see a therapist but i'm not sure that will help... after all, i'm not even honest with myself so how can i be honest to someone i don't even know. I don't think it's possible right now. My hear is bleeding, my head is spinning, and my body is shaking - but it's all covered by this skin. This skin in what hides ME from the world.
I keep thinking about a poem i wrote in high school... and how and why my teacher never said anything to me about it other than "Great...here's a A" It was a cry for help... I think i still have it somewhere, i wrote the original draft in a sketch book, with a picture of a guy/me curled up in the corner of a room.... That's what i feel like now. I'm exhausted... physically and lately emotionally. People keep telling me i look tired. I am!
Things arent so good here at the house right now... We're fighting. It's akward. Doesn't feel good... not going well this week. What to do? How can you tell someone you love them and the next minute say that you don't know them... Is this the end? |
