Early Morning Confession

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
