Feelings Of Inadequacy

Feelings of inadequacy
Drive me back from reality
And I left it all so far behind
Too bad that our lives cannot rewind
I was tortured so long
But it was my fault
I grieved for myself
By writing songs
And when I don’t know how
To live at all
My god, I can’t even bear to read
What I wrote

I was in love once
With a beautiful young girl
She held my heart in the palm of her hand
But she could never understand
The way I felt about her
She could never understand how much
I need her with me at all times
Isn’t love so blind
Maybe it’s just sublime

I liked to gamble
But not in conventional ways
I lived on the edge of my wits
So many days of my life
I lost it all sometime ago
Who knew that I’d be so alone
Waiting for a miracle made of sin to save me
But good days are far and in between
Everyone is so mean
Everyone is so damn pretty
But in my eyes I love to despise
In my eyes there are no alibis

Now I watch the children pass
Out my window in the afternoon
Laughing and playing with their friends
Never thinking of the end
Never wishing they could send
A love note to a woman
That crushed this man’s heart
And sent him into a downward fall
Which I may never recover from at all
