Living on old memories
Holding on to the past
Not wanting to let go
Never knowing how to hold...
These eyes are tired
This heart is weary
This body is weak
This throat bloodied from endless screams...
Wreckless lies
Heartless truths
Never ending stories
Life long fairy tales...
Seams coming undone
Buttons popping off
Zippers jammed
Ripped off pockets...
Dreams shattered
Wishes forgotten
Prayers ignored
Fantasies never existed...
Words tossed around
Promises never kept
Lies overrun
It never seems to end...
What you will never see
Behind this smile
Behind these eyes
Beneath this heart...
Oh the visions I've seen
The lies I've heard
The people I've met
The abuse I've taken...
The heartbreaks never end
Always given
But never recieved
This is a one way street...
I will not lie
But will not show
What is really there
But what you want to see...
Don't ask
Don't tell
Don't give
Never take...
You try to mend
But make it worse
Give up on me
Because I've already given up on myself.
