It's pretty much a joke. you know.
when your smile really means nothing.
when you look down at your hands and think of everywhere they've been.
when you look in the mirror and see your mouth and all the words that its said.
and doesn't it seem like a goddamn joke,
I keep waiting for the mad man to laugh like he always does, up in the corner shelf of my mind.
But I think he hong himself, and it makes it harder to laugh now, but mostly...mostly harder to cry.

And I don't expect anyone to really care, I mean these words after all are the ones which black my lungs and not theirs.
These phrases after all are the things that punch wholes on my eyes and impair my vision.
and all the silent people who live here hang themselves over the black abyss.
Its the ones that don't say anything til the end that scream the loudest. and then the drop.
Its all pretty insane really.
Mostly nothing much to worry about.

Now that the mad mans dead and all his accompliances as well.
It seems there's no time to paint on a crazed smile. No time at all.
And the minutes that I have stolen I had to give back.
And the hours that I did steal are just black and white and burning now.
A film of ash on my hands, always as I sift through burning pictures.
What ever happened to decentcy..
I guess I don't really care, and neither does anyone else..
and thats where it went.

There's no reason I'm oversleeping
dreamin' my life away...

Aside from a few minor grammatical errors, this was awesome. For me it had a major impact. I agree with Kelly, those three lines were my personal favorites. Thanks for sharing such a powerful piece with us.
