Silly Game

Calculate it in your head

Think about it in your bed,

Silly isn't it?

This game we play

The silence that fills our day.

I laugh at your mighty act

you love yourself, thats a fact,

But there's something you can't see

There's a day you will bleed

Alone you will sit and not feed

My desperation for love is deep

And for this I will reap

What I sow

Its my weight on my shoulders

Its getting heavier like a boulder

Bagging my feelings for my pride

I set my love on the side

To hard to deal with

So into the sea I sail

Attempting my next fail.

These Bones

This skin is so uncomfortable
So thick and itchy hot
I can't breathe in this confined space
I can't dream where I can't go
So maybe I'll shed it tonight
And give it to someone who's cold
Toss it aside
And walk around in my bones

But these bones are so awfully heavy
I can't seem to stand upright
I can't move with these pounds on my back
So I'll drop the load tonight
Recycle them for someone better fit
Toss them aside
And swim around in blood and thicker things

But oh! These thicker things are in the way
Bumping against my every breath
I can't be free with them upon me
I can't watch the sun with them in my sight
So maybe I can sell them
To a single mother who needs a bit
Toss these aside

And now I can't travel or dream
or swim or breathe
I cannot move nor speak
And yet
I've done all I ever wanted
I made other people happy
When I couldn't for myself..
