Awkward Silence
I'm only uncomfortable looking
through other peoples eyes.
And I blink days away frequently
I just want my goodbyes
To stop ending so awkwardly
We're cemented in silence
I can't find the words to help us move on.
And I've thought about it too much
I'm burnt out
They'll think what they want, I guess.
It's impossible anyway, right?
Just nod your head and say 'yes'
I'll give up without hardly a fight.
What about tomorrow though?
Is this just the way it's going to go?
Am I to be left wondering?
While you don't say a damn thing
Settling For Anything
I'm getting caught again
Groping for something pure
But I touch only dirty things
Should I show my face to
anyone that wants to see?
Would you like a peek?
I'll just lay here and wait
for the fan to blow my misery away
Or maybe it can blow me away
To anything I'm waiting for
I don't want to lay here forever
But I can't get up and find
something I'm not sure I'm looking for.
So I'll let my impatience win again
And settle for whatever finds me first.
Breaking another promise to myself.
Finally, it was me this time
With each turn, the world becomes
a little more artificial
And I'm dreaming less and less
To help me cope.
Go ahead, look some more
Poke me, hurt mme
I don't feel a thing
I promise.
