Its 2, 3, or maybe 4.
Its too late now, I'm out the door.
And if you wanted me here,
You should've gave more.
I was willing to try.
But you just let us die.
Your room is spinning fast.
Good thing I'm out the door.
Shaken to the foundation
Rattled to the very core
Your angst and apathetic values
Have set the stage for war
But consider this battle conceded
I walked right out the door
Don't bother to wait up for me
I'll be gone for days, maybe more
How bad do you miss me
Now that I've walked out the door?
It appears a tornado swept through this house
And left you hanging by your neck
My return, a bit delayed, leads me to find...
You've done yourself in, lost your mind
My very own belt...
Connecting you to the closet shelf
I should've seen before I left...
I knew you needed help
I assisted you with suicide...
The moment I walked out the door.
I sit silently with my head in my hands
Where are you, where have you gone
I don't understand
Its been 2, 3, maybe 4...
The days pass slowly
As I miss you more and more...
Sitting silently beside you in the spinning room
With my head in my hands, I'll never leave you again
I won't walk out the door...
I won't leave you again...
I'll make this really simple for you...
I'm sick of all these lies
and I'm sick of dodging knives
How am I supposed to live my life
if you won't let me be alive?
Save me a bit of my own pride
as you brutalize me inside
Please and thank you
Taken to the heart
All the time I put into you...
I suddenly don't feel very smart
I could've left it all behind for you
But you would never play your part
Diseased, I rank you...
With the highest of remarks
All the things you said you'd do...
Were what set you apart
And I honestly believed you
And suddenly I don't feel very smart
So, please and thank you
Just do it, tear me apart
Do what you wanna do
Like you did with my heart
I believed what I wanted...
I should've known from the start
Please and thank you
I don't feel very smart
COMMENTS
love it, very cool
Hmmm..this could have been my mantra about 4 years ago.
I just relived my entire seperation in divorce by reading one journal entry... Well written as always hon :)
thank you for writing this its amazing it kinda reminds me of someone I knew and would like to kill lol
your an amazing writer.
Somebody dies.
Your world will change
right before your eyes
Just like mine.
It turns to ice.
And there's no one to...
blame
This is what happens
when a warrior
turns his back on the war.
The war that you created.
The one that drove us...
insane
Our world is always changing
Torn apart and sewn back up
Just like our hearts
Just like our soldiers
Playing their parts...
Just like our hearts
Just like the soldier, giving all they've got
So what happens
when a warrior
turns their back on a war?
Everybody dies.
*its meant entirely to be a song, so if the timing and flow and rhythm and stuff is off, its because its not performed with music yet...sorry*
I've already dug your grave
Shallow hole for your shallow heart
Six feet deep is too much work
And so much more than you deserve
Set you down beneath the dirt
A single layer to cover the hurt
Excuse me while I take this knife from out of my back
As I hold it in my hand, close your eyes, this won't hurt a bit
UGH, this whole situation hurts
Smearing my feelings in the dirt
I suppose though, this is what I deserve
I don't know why I even bother with my work...
I can't withstand too many more attacks on my heart
Maybe I should just go lay down in my grave...
I've already dug your grave
But it'll always be empty
Because despite everything...
I want you standing next to me...

Sadness :(((
After reading a lot of your work here,Ii think that you should seriously consider selling some of the songs!
You are a gifted writer!
I hate that I can't hate you
But I'm determined to escape you
I wish you'd disappear, but I can't make you
And in my dreams, I'm still willing to take you
Away from this place
So destroy your reverie, don't waste my time
Everything we had, was based on a lie
I hate that I love you, in my confused mind
Star-crossed, dual supernovas, one of a kind
Burned out over night
I hate that I can't hate you
I feel sick inside
I hate that I love you
I think I'd rather die
Than walk away from you
But its gone too far this time
I'd love to say goodnight
But I'd hate to say goodbye
Doesn't it just fucking suck to not know where you're going?
I wish I was alive
I wish I was a lie
Doesn't it just fucking suck to know exactly where you're going,
When you know you're destined to die
Alone
The path I walk is plagued with nothingness
Exactly what I fear
I crumble beneath the weight of my singular existence
Born into a life of sealed fate
I wish I was alive
I wish I was a lie
Knowing I'm meant to die
Alone
The roads are dim, lined with broken streetlights
I can't see where I'm going, and I don't know where I've been
Time is of no essence to me, I don't even know today's date
It always dark here, so I don't even know if its late
I walk aimlessly for miles, I can't bear to stand and wait
Born into a life of sealed fate
My singular existence, I crumble beneath the weight
I wish I was alive
I'm in my own way
I was I was a lie
I despise the hate
I was born into a life of sealed fate
Knowing I'm meant to die
Alone
I wave a solemn goodbye to the city's burning skyline
Escape to solace stung with bits of regret as I leave it far behind
It wasn't meant to be my home for an eternity
Otherwise, it wouldn't have done these things to me
I blame that town for all that I've gone through
But I only got myself into the things that I wanted to
A mixture of emotions that I can't seem to understand
Why am I running from it, yet reaching for it with an outstretched hand?
Its disappearing in the distance, I'm getting further away
Will I arise content, or feel displaced the next day?
Right as I feel I've made up my mind to move on
I suddenly feel the irresistible urge to stay
Confusion is crushing when it hits you all at once
Am I making the right choice, are my assumptions just?
I've turned my back on all that I know, the question now, is:
How far can I go?
A million miles, I'll never stop my run
All the way around the world
Run so far, only to end up right back where I'd begun
On...your...KNEES!
I can only dare you to even try to lift your eyes
In this kingdom, you are adamantly despised
On your knees, you worthless waste of air
I give you no choice but to bow down
Bow down
(On your knees)
Bow down
I am the higher power, you are a slave
No matter the passing of days, this will not change
So save us some time, and just bow down
On your knees
(Bow down)
On your knees
Listen
Your best bet is to do what you're told
Bending my patience, don't try to be bold
I'll break you until you're bending to bow down
And I'll laugh at you, with everyone around
You worthless waste of air, bow down
Listen
Unspoken words lead to shattered dreams.
It doesn't matter what you say to me,
I ruin everything.
Watching all we had, collapse at your feet.
It doesn't matter what I want to see,
my eyes will bleed.
And I know now you're impossible to please
I gave you my heart, hoping you'd be better to it than my past.
I should've known, look at my luck, things this good never last.
This realization is driving me down, its destroying me fast.
This is so typical me, being stepped on after giving all I have.
It was like the sun shined in the shape of her smile.
All I wanted to do, was try and make it last...
Awhile.
I was willing to try for forever.
But those hope and dreams have been effectively severed.
It doesn't matter what you say to me,
I ruin everything.
It doesn't matter what you think of me,
I don't believe anything.
Please just hold your tongue just this once,
Your opinion still stings.
You're just impossible to please.
You're impossible, and impossible to please.
And, God, I ruin everything.

Very raw.. **sits on bed and cries**
vv well written.
Oh God...the other person that commented is so right...I started to tear up at "This is so typical me, being stepped on after giving all I have."...
and my vision blurred with tears at "All I wanted to do, was try and make it last...
Awhile."
and I managed to make it through without crying, but I almost lost it at:
"I don't believe anything.
Please just hold your tongue just this once,
Your opinion still stings."
but...damn, this is good, despite how sad it is...
I've built bridges over the rivers of your problems..
Only for them to be washed away, by the tide
They've been broken down, they're useless now
A single plank ripped away, with each and every lie
And I have no desire to rebuild it this time
You've gone to the well one too many times
I've tried and tried to guide you through your life
My patience with you is very rapidly running out
Your next attempt, you should expect it to be dry
And I have no desire to refill it this time
You're like a ship sinking in a distant ocean
With thousands of helpless passengers inside
All knowing that the boat is about to go down
Wondering if someone will save them, or if they'll die
And I have no desire to rescue you this time
COMMENTS
Look at yourself, put down the pills, and that fucking knife
Whether or not you care, I'm here to save your life
I've spent so much time reading from this book of lies
Authored by you, discreetly titled "My Disguise"
Allow me to tear out pages, rewrite the ending
I'm only doing this to save you from your demise
Your end is starting to look like a beginning
Reverting back to your old ways, the good things
You see now, how close you were to dying?
Its time you buried this alive
Don't just bury it inside
Bury it alive
(And let the positivity rise!)
I've spent so much time reading this book of your rise
Rewritten by you, a reparation of your life
I'll hold it close, for safe keeping
We finally saved you from your early demise
COMMENTS
Nice...strong.
Fuck yeah, Stephen! This is awesome, unlike what you normally write and I like that. Very positive, optimistic, with a happy ending. I like how YOU didn't cause the change but rather you were there through it all. You didn't edit the person's story, you read it, gave a review and were there as they rewrote it.
Maybe I took that example a bit too far, but you get the point. I love it :)
Look at your life, what have you done to yourself?
You're bending the bracket that holds you in place
You're breaking the mask thats been hiding your face
Your intentions are becoming more and more clear
You're inching closer to all that you fear
Your most memorable nights are the ones you forget
The drugs, the alcohol, its pulling you in
Do you really think you can escape it?
Does it frighten you, not knowing where you're going?
Does it scare you, not knowing what your mask is showing?
Its collapsing, to reveal the scars
Its breaking, showing who you really are
Its falling away, and its driving you insane
You reach out for me
I'm not there
How does that feel?
I've looked out for you
You don't care
This one, time won't heal...
You're down to dust, you're lacking...
Essential function. Your mask is cracking
The drugs, the alcohol, it pulled you in
I don't care
This one, time won't heal...
How does that feel?
You've driven yourself to this mechanical affliction
Greatly losing traction on all sense of reality
Torn apart by your own altruistic addiction
Empathy bleeds from the hearts of machines
Losing grip on a real life distinction
Quickly losing sense of time, and all self
You're classified by your own emotional extinction
A life of volunteer servitude, living for everyone else
A transformation of soul and self
Bending to their every want and need
You've become society's soulless whelp
Empathy bleeds from the hearts of machines
You're almost robotic in reasoning
A constant blur of red is all you see
In and out of consciousness, with sanity slipping
Empathy bleeds from the hearts of machines

Whoa! This is rather deep!
Yea, "whoa" is right... I can really relate with this one,
on a personal level... well, for the most part.
Pretty scary.
Damn, you are good... I just never thought this good.
