I've officially given up... it's been long over due...
Strung out on the emotional game.. Justified by what's in a name..
Gasping for air in the early hours..
Subdued by al these evil powers..

I dreamed a dream, ripped apart at the seems..
I drank the last toast from the hobgoblin ghost..
Shouts of joy in the war zone
with my vibrating mobile phone..

a dream within a dream, just another scheme..
Another world, another lie, another way to live or die...

Silent reflection over my inner grief..
feeling like I'm always the love struck thief..

Love makes me a dumbstruck fool
like I've always been too cool for school

Dreaming of a place so far away
than the situation I'm stuck in today
I wish things were a mile away
back to another day...
A life a span ago..
where I knew all to know
now I just have nothing to show
a dark hollow in my soul..
a loss.. an emptiness..
a forgotten moment of bliss
Now just compounded misery
dabbled in gobs of insanity
Lost all my connections with the world in one snip
but I guess its all about in what you get
discombobulated with the passion of mortals
with our lives and the different portals
Looking glasses into the soul of a beast out of control...
Glimpses into darkness, into light
the things that help get us through the night
starry eyed surprise
by the dashboard sunrise
glimpses of futures lost by flashing blue lights
with all the darkness evaded by shiny street lights
feet sore from 14 hours standing
but here, we all have an understanding..
Complain not to me, I've seen worse
and I think of yours a blessing, and mine a curse
So count the blessings, even if they are not
since it's about what you had, not what you got.


I used to worry... now it's meaningless
and I guess tomorrow I'll just expect less..
If not in the grave, I'm at a funeral.
