Prompt / Lyrics
Tears fill his eyes as he sees his surroundings
It took an escape to realize that he made a mistake
Awake, but in his mind he starts to drift away
‘Cause his heart’s too burdened, and his head’s in pain
Everything he says is in vain, it doesn’t make any sense at all
No one to turn to, no one he can call
‘Cause when it comes down to it, sometimes we all fall
But how can he run, or walk, when he can barely crawl
Afraid, in a daze, he’s paniced, curled up on the floor
Drinks one down to calm his nerves, ‘cause he can’t take it anymore
He’s been down, but now, he feels like he’s lost his soul
But he knows….he’s the one to blame
Everything feels like a lie when you don’t really know
Why every time you gain control, you’re forced to let go
Hollow, he’s a disfigured shell of a troubled soul
‘Cause the last thing that was his, somebody stole
But isn’t that the goal, when everyone turns on everybody else
This place is lonely, ‘cause people only care about themselves
And now, this man is me, how hard is that to tell?
‘Cause i’ve tried to comfort you, and you only care about yourself
Afraid, in a daze, I’m paniced, curled up on the floor
I’ll drink one down to calm my nerves, ‘cause I can’t take it anymore
I’ve been down, but now, it feels like I can’t let go
But I know… I’m the one to blame
My heart is spilling out, and you just turn away
Like you’ll do tomorrow, and like you did yesterday
It never changes, these places are only a temporary escape
‘Cause your “I love you’s” are more than I can take
And if actions breed words, yours would write a book
I’d be the author so you could see how much it took
Out of my heart every night to believe that you cared
Just to look around and see that you’re never there
Afraid, in a daze, I’m paniced, and I feel like a whore
I’ll drink one down to calm my nerves, ‘cause I can’t take it anymore
Keep me down, let me go, before it’s too late for me, my love
Just give up….walk away from me
