I cannot find myself
why should I come find you?
I want to be forgotten
and I'll forget you too
Take a picture
take another shot at me
throw your insults
tell your lies
just a word to the wise
don't fuck with me
And I'm not foolin' around
not playin' your stupid games
I'm through with all this bitching
and calling names
So take a picture
take another shot at me
and throw all your insults
tell all your lies
just a word to the wise
don't fuck with me
You'll lose
I cherish life
'cause life is good
but life is very often
so misunderstood
Life is filled with feelings
but that's not how you live
and with everything you take from life
sometimes you've got to give
Kisses cannot heal this pain
ten thousand hugs all in vain
I see the shadows on your face
and find myself trapped in this place
of all the memories come before
the ones with you I adore
but now I feel we've grown apart
and loneliness creeps in my heart
to see your eyes sparkle now
fills me with dispair somehow
I must say there's a lesson learned
you've broken all the trust you earned
But I think back on the happy days
and know I'll love you always
Your words are worth so much to me
your look, your touch, they help me see
everything that I can do
So I give all my thanks to you
You've helped me up when I was down
when I felt alone you were around
you wiped my tears when I would cry
you would always give me one more try
I'd fall, you'd lift me up again
you kept me from what could have been
when I needed you you were there
do everything to show you care
I love you for who you are
when I call you're never far
now it's time for what you need
I'll be there when you bleed
I thought I found out who I was
I thought I knew my place
I thought I had the confidence
To look me in the face
I thought I'd learned to care some more
To live, to love, to be
But now I'v found that I was wrong
I don't know what makes me
I thought I'd freed myself inside
To let myself get close
But now I realize that's the place
Where I was wrong the most
Now I feel me falling down
Into the hole again
But for some reason I'm not scared
To go where I have been
I also want to hold on tight
To what I have achieved
But forces out of my control
Wish to take what I've recieved
So now I'm lost and selfless
And striving to hold on
And afraid that in a moment
All else will too be gone
And my walls are going up again
To keep my heart from pain
And my visions are all blurring
From what I have to gain
I know that you hurt
and I know that he lies
but can you cover your heart
and watch as he dies
or will you just turn away
and choose not to see
that from his pain too
he cannot get free
I know that you've fought
and it seems you can't win
but I know there's a chance
if you just try again
And maybe you can't
maybe you're through
and one day he'll realize
why he lost you
and maybe he won't
maybe I'm blind
but I still can't give up
on what I might find
So I'm here for you both
and I'll be by your side
and I hope there's a place
where peace can abide
Wounds too deep to heal by hand
Hurt inside too much to stand
A fear brought on by too much pain
mind is shot and barely sane
A heart too crushed to love again
longing for what might have been
A voice inside too choked to speak
Legs run so far they're getting weak
A body with no strength to fight
tear-stained eyes have lost their sight
a troubled soul with no way out
scarred deep by hate and left in doubt
a being with no will to live
but afraid of the alternative
I Couldn't Burn the Blankets
Twisted Words
