I Could Feel It By: Michael Dykhoff 1/19/02 So this is where it falls apart. I knew it would from the start. I could feel it. I�ve heard it all day and I'm hearing it now. I�m trying to block you out but I don�t know how. My music�s blasting to pass the time. My heart is pounding with every rhyme. My walls are crumbling cause your slamming the doors. I�m tired of your stupid drawn out wars. Sister is screaming in the back room, Mom is crying, she spilt her perfume. Dad took off like a sonic boom. Someone get us out of this tomb. Our family picture looks really fake. I think the camera was about to break. Just when you think things can mend. Another branch starts to bend. Just stop what your doing and listen to me. I�ve tried to show you but you just don�t see. This is going to end us all, And I don�t think I�m ready� For the fall. Nothing is the way it was. I guess that its because, The money�s gone and everyone wants something. But how can I tell them that I don�t want nothing? If it stops the screaming I�ll do anything. Please just stop, and listen to what I say. I know it might not change your mind today. I don�t want riches and fame. I just want my family name. Nothing hurts more than this. Cant we just make up and kiss. Just when you think things can mend. Another branch starts to bend. Just stop what your doing and listen to me. I�ve tried to show you but you just don�t see. This is going to end us all, And I don�t think I�m ready� For the fall. Do you think this is easy for me? To tell you what to do. I�m just trying to let you see, What you�re putting us through. Don�t push me away. Don�t walk out that door. Don�t make me want to hurt you. Don�t make me hit the floor. Just when you think things can mend. Another branch starts to bend. Just stop what your doing and listen to me. I�ve tried to show you but you just don�t see. This is going to end us all, And I don�t think I�m ready� For the fall. So this is how it ends. I�m lying in bed and I can�t get to sleep. I cant breathe, it hurts too much. These feelings have got me in to deep. My skin hurts with the slightest touch. I thought nightmares weren�t supposed to be real. But now I�m here and I just can�t deal. I could feel it.
