Alone

Leave your worries

At my door

I’ll hold them tight

I’ll find some more

I’ll find them hiding

Where there are none

I’ll finish ones

That have begun

I’ll see the worst

In every word

I’ll hear secrets

That can’t be heard

I’ll feel the knives

From behind

I’ll hold it all

In my mind

I’ll let it boil

In my brain

I’ll see the pattern

Once again

Allies lie

When out of sight

Friends colour

Black and white

And when it’s safe

As it can be

They’ll bring their guns

To murder me.

Is it me?

Whose is this face I see in the mirror?

Whose is this life in which I am trapped?

I never seem to have a choice about things

Everything is mapped and regulated for me

Parental prerogative means they run free

They can tell me what to do

Because to them I’m still their child

Whilst to me it’s a case of who?

 

Is it me

All those people seem to like?

Is it me

Not in trouble for one in my life?

Is it me

Things almost went my way?

Is it me

Who can say?

 

I’m them, but then, I’m not

And if you turned the world inside out

There would still be a lot of trouble

Problems and feelings running through my mind

 

And how can I express what I don’t even know?

When she called me I looken but did I see?

Was she looking, was it even at me?

Will I ever set my mind free?

Will it be me?

I can’t force you to listen

I can’t force you to stay

Am I destined to be the one

Who gets in your way?

Don’t let me

Be the only cloud on your horizon

I have more to offer

Than you take me for

 

Will it be me?

Will I be the one?

Will it be another

With me long gone?

Aggressive tendencies

As he lashed out

Cutting the flesh

Tenderly sliced

It was dead

But the knife remained

Full of hate

And the hand that wielded it

Was mine

 

Shame of shames, I showed the pain

Aggressive tendencies are insane

Shame of shames, but all the same

Aggressive tendencies are insane

Force of habit

Rain in my life

Silence fills the room

Everyone who knows me

Has something else to do

My mood is the consequence

 

Someone else for her

Someone else for him

Together

It is a word I know nothing about

As you confirm

 

Just force of habit

For me to lock myself away

Kick me in the teeth

I’ll make no sound

There will be no reaction

 

Things almost went my way

Which is so much more than usual

I can’t believe it’s true

But I actually smiled and meant it

Thanks to you

Cheap

Time is money

My friend

 

And it won’t cost much

To be

My friend

 

So pray for your soul

I hope it will sell well

 

Money may buy you time

My friend

But it costs less

To be

My friend.
