Everyone seems to have
an unspoken sadness
these days
or I'm just looking in the mirror
A feeling stored in dusty corners
ignored until the day
you want to say:
"I'm gonna let it go"
Spend each moment etching X's
on the calendar
until the months
and years fill up
The one thing you can depend on
is that you'll be with you until
the day you die
and all the ghosts that haunt you
are the echoes of the past
that weigh you down
until you've breathed your last
Everyone around
is trying harder every day
to kill themselves
or I'm just looking in the mirror
A poison whisper
lights a fire deep inside my brain
to burn away
the humanity
Another night spent running circles
trying to get away
collecting more
antiques to hide away
The one thing you can depend on
is that you'll be with you until
the day you die
and all the ghosts that haunt you
are the echoes of the past
that weigh you down
until you've breathed your last
And though this life continues
you can't help feeling trapped
amongst your hideous collection
of unwanted artifacts
and all the ghosts that come to haunt you
are the echoes of the past
that suffocate you endlessly
until you've breathed your last
Locked in the attic
to cobwebs and dust
I'm an addict
Surrounded by faded photographs
the memories I'd hoped would last
are shredded piles on the floor
Reflected in the fragments of a mirror
but not seeing any clearer
just how long I've been
behind this door
up in the attic
where everything
is perfectly
static
Everyone seems to be
trying to move away
to outrun the pain
of a loveless lone existence
A hope that a change of scenery
will finally show the way
to better days
without having to let it go
Everyone seems quieter
each time they're asked to say:
"I feel okay"
or I'm just standing at the mirror
