Like This (8/20/2007)
You told me to be positive and not sit and shout like this
Try to find the bright side and never let it out like this
I shouldn’t ever doubt like this, I shouldn’t be negative
Be a fucking optimist, stop looking for the messages
But every where I get with this, no place I want to be
Alone and in the cold with disgrace left here for me
If you’d taste what I could see you’d know why I get like this
The other side is dark when the world gives me a stress like this
I can’t be my best like this, I can’t hold this fucking weight up
My shoulders are collapsing and it’s hard for me to stay up
My mind is always racing as I’m losing all my patience
I start to fucking snap and sling out these accusations
I bring down my faith to faithless, my chest swells up with hatred
How can a single man just stand and fucking take this?
I’m burning through the pages as I try to see what mattered
But a fucking smile’s poison when it leaves you feeling shattered
As I start to see a pattern of the one’s who leave me battered
Blood stains on the wall besides the grief that splattered
Enough’s enough, I’ve had it, this life is fucking static
Nothing ever changes and I’m behaving like an addict
Shaking and ecstatic, itching for another fix
Another pill to cure me, a dose to fix this shit
I never really know why life always goes like this
But I should have fucking known the road would go like this
