Notebooks and Poems

by Lauren   Apr 19, 2007


The traffic's backed for miles
On these quiet suburban roads
While the rubber necking strangers
Are dying to see these victims wounds
Cause he's all alone
With his notebooks and poems
In this open grave where he wrote
All of his secrets
That became his lyrics
With no intent to show anyone
So the panic sets and cycles
His mind for restless sleep
And while the blood-sucking leeches
Contaminate every line they read
Just leave him alone in this dark room
Cause its no secret
I'm falling asleep with my eyes open
shutting down and off the lights
cause after all of this it's all or nothing
still I wouldn't try to ...
So let me drown so I can breathe again
I'm through choking and suffocating
On alter egos and alter motives
Which weigh you down and take control of
The way you are and the things that you need
The life you live and the dreams that you dream
Distort and blur all in slow motion
They broke you down and now your broken
And it's sadder than the saddest movie
I ever saw but without the beauty
So I stopped watching, I stopped caring
I've lost all interest and I stopped wearing
These plastic smiles, I've washed my hands clean
Forget that you forgot about me
And I'm living life, the big city feeling
It's better than suburban dreaming
Living off the friends that hate you
Talk shit on me like I don't know who
My real friends are anymore, no,
I dont know you anymore
And it's sadder than the saddest movie
I ever saw, but without the beauty
So I stopped watching, I stopped caring
