Conversational
Amputation
I Can't save the nation
But don't change the station
I'm gonna keep this real
And Express how I feel
So this is the deal
Get ready to reel
I can't seem to pick the path I wanna take
Every time I wake
I feel like it's a mistake
I might break
Can't be fake
Can't relate
Forced to hate
By those who don't know me
And want to control me
They messed with the wrong punk
No junk
I don't mess
I must confess
that this stress
is tearing up my insides
I'm not of sound mind
no confine
to which I can resign
I don't need to deal with that bull
Mind is full
Of senseless thoughts and confusion
Can't seem to find a conclusion
Disillusioned
But that's who I am
And I can't help but jump as I let the door slam
Behind me
It reminds me
Of the past
Will this last?
Will it ever even come into existence
My persistence
Is a powerful force
But I fear the source
Is not true
But I say this to you
Because I pray it might be
And maybe you can shed some light on me
And who I am
Cuz I'm drowning in the quick sand
Of my thoughts
As time ticks on by I can't help but get lost
In a world of "What If's" and "What might've beens"
So I sit here still
Pouring out my heart through a pen
And as the ink drips on the lines
As an open wound bleeds over time
I hope that this ordeal
Will be over and then these wounds I can conceal
But for now they lie open for abuse
Misuse
Do What ever you please
This is my disease
I don't know the cure to this ailment that kills me
I can't find anything that seems to fulfill me
Or thrill me
These thoughts though, they chill me
To the bone
Don't wanna be left alone
But yet I leave the phone
Lying off the hook
Can't tell by my looks
But I'm shook
Up good on the inside
It hurt my pride
I don't quite know why
But my o my
Does it burn
As the waves they do churn
I'm trying to learn
Of whose concern
My problems are
Cuz I've missed them by far
And they're beyond my comprehension
My apprehension
Holds me back and causes tension
My thoughts stuck in suspension
I'm a lost soul
A black hole
Caught in a downward spiral that's out of control
Don't feel whole
I need a superhero to come to my aid
I need someone to save me for I fear I'll fade
Into the background and disappear
Through the years
But instead I'm just...
