it felt like a lifetime ago
when we could wake up
without any problems
over our heads
the only thing we could think of
that could really scare us
was the sad feeling
of seeing mom get older
but we weren't prepared for the worst
we'd lose childhood friends
and see ourselves
turn bitter and colder
then we'd be thrown into a world
so cruel and relentless
and carry the weight
on our shoulders

this awful sickly feeling
that makes me want to vomit
never seems to go away
nearly 22 years living
i still haven't found the answer
to what will stop the pain
the same bedroom all my life
it imprisons and suffocates me
it's not better outside
when everything starts to look up
life seems to find a cruel way
to bring it all down
and it isn't easy to lift
to get back on your feet
when i was 18 years old
i read through the bible
feeling hopeless and lost
almost 4 years later
i struggle keeping faith in this
godforsaken planet
but it's hard to have any hope
in a world so cruel to many
it's hard to not go insane
the last few years have blended
into aimless days of misery
every choice i made was wrong
but we never say it's bad
we just disguise it and pretend
i often escape to memories
many involving childhood
to much better days
the senses of nostalgia
are so strong it starts to hurt
i just want to go back
when i turned 21 years old
it felt like i'd been alive
way too long
i was rightfully abandoned
by friends that saw that
i was really hopeless
but we never say it's bad
we just disguise it and pretend

the truth

carrying so much pain
with no release
deluding myself
to take more
whenever i see
people happy
i can't help
but feel sore
i've already accepted that i'll never be normal
but why does the truth still have to hurt?
feeling unwelcome
wherever i go
new faces and people
the same scorn
drifting through life
scared and helpless
wish i knew
what to do
i've already accepted that i'll never be normal
but why does the truth still have to hurt?
i want to know
how a human being feels
i see more people
around my age
they seem to have it
all down
what is the secret?
i have to ask
why was i left behind
like always?
(like always)
(like always)
yabba dabba doo

i can't say
that i'm okay
wasted away
another day
time goes fast
good things don't last
chances pass
my stupid ass
