Has anyone wanted to see what it looks like when I actually exhale? Here you go... I think that should serve as an apology, and a warning.  __________________________________________ try not to pull your hair out I can hear the ripping from a mile away don't worry it'll pass but that doesn't make the words you want to say any less meaningful they're all laughing at me I can hear it in every song in every word in every breath everything you could say but never will I should stop screaming at the mirror I keep trying to kill time but it just won't stay dead tell me would you do it any different I made my bed so I'll lay in it I dug my grave I'll die in it I'll die in it Do you ever wish the static would turn into fog and float by your ears by your eyes with it's comforting nothingness telling you it's alright to be nothing as long as you're nothing for a reason it says 'listen, ok, just listen, it's alright, I don't exist either.' if I could write what you write if I could write if I could write I do write don't I? but who do I write for I know exactly who I write for but these words don't speak for themselves it's all just touch and go touch and go touch and go touch and go you know they can't hear you when you cry right? so why do you do it? you wish they could you wish they could so bad it makes the tears flow into a river it makes you create similes... deal with it it seems like your reality check just bounced and you're left with nothing but the curb I'd lend you some ideals but I don't have a thought in my head that isn't copyrighted you try and live on nothing and see how far you get so then you start thinking you're made out of garbage and you scream and you yank and you pull and you tear at your soul, 'you're not giving me anything' you're not anything so where does that leave you where the does that leave you? if something can't come from nothing then what the hell have I been doing for the past 5 years. we're all one hit wonders what happened to your great one liners? what happened to going out with a bang? I could give you some advice, I could tell you to stop pulling pulling pulling pulling till theres nothing left taffy for the mind taffy for the soul you're going crazy one more night where body doesn't meet covers and mind doesn't meet body, it's called free falling and I'm one more sleepless night away from a lack of gravity this is just a phase it'll pass it'll pass it'll pass it'll pass can you get carpel tunnel syndrome with words because you've repeated yourself so many times I think you've hit reverse but it's ok because it's crafted it's planned eyes meet words words meet mind mind meet hand hand meet pencil pencil meet paper paper meet garbage garbage meet hand hand meet fingers fingers meet keyboard keyboard meet internet internet meet the destruction of life [This message has been edited by exhale (03-21-2006 01:00 AM).] |
