made up some new lyrics and finished tweaking with them... I really have to learn how to play a guitar I havent been able to get my hands on a piano for sometime now and a guitar is much more mobile

Communication


I may
start to scream
But I want
I mean
to be calm

Cause though I’ve
said this before
It has yet to get through
Do you listen anymore?

Please don’t
try to fight
it’ll just make the ropes get tight-er
and I’ll remove
that gag
as soon as I’ve had
some time
to get this off my mind

I’m tired
Of intricate excuses and tactful technicalities and eloquent summaries of why its not you
And its always me… you try to show me but I can’t see
Cause I’m tied
by twisted tales its like a noose around my neck and questioning my own sanity
So now I am insane
maybe I was to blame
but not the first time

I sorry
I raised my voice
I ‘ll try to be
a little bit calmer

Its just that
you sacrificed me
to make your own damn armor

I tried to be
really nice
To be sweet, soft, kind and approachable
And if I flinched when you touched me
Its because of something I couldn’t control

Cause inside
I was screaming when you gave me that line
That what I felt I wasn’t feeling
When you told me
it was all just chemicals, that I really should be sensible
That shit really fucked up my health
I was
starving
cause your arrogant half assed apologizes
Seemed to always imply that its you that was right
And it’s I
And it’s me
Maybe
Maybe

but what I
know for sure
is you're an addiction I can't quite
afford
to afford

and I love you
but im not going to
let your lies
become my truth

the me
thats me
is still there
I'm still standing, still breathing
and im leaving
you
cause
Im not to blame
im not insane
