Just trying to get by.
Just trying to get by.
Just trying to get by.
Sometimes I feel like I’m insane,
Like I’m speechless, nothing to say.
Nothing to lose,
Nothing to gain.
Then I realize it’s in my brain,
No matter what I take I’m stuck in pain,
I don’t want to feel anymore,
Don’t want to feel a thing,
A girl can only take so much,
Until she must explode,
She will surely meet her judge,
And be fully exposed.
I know that it’s all in my head,
But it still doesn’...
Sometimes it seems I have it all,
With money,
Education,
But it came at a great cost,
And I ended up forever lost.
Sometimes I feel so low
And it doesn’t help to be broke.
I want to leave but I’m just
Too far
From home.
My life is a city on fire,
And I’m watching,
As it burns,
Alone and suffering,
Lacking in love.
If only those thoughts didn’t creep in,
Drowning me in an intrusive obsession
I n...
Can we sit down
At the table,
And talk about the things
We were unable
To think about,
Let alone voice?
Can you hold off
On your judgment,
Can you listen to me,
Without interruption,
Sip some good scotch,
And try to understand?
I have loved you,
Since I met you,
I never want to surrender
But I bet you
Will be gone soon,
If you’re not already.
Can I just have one more
Moment with you
Before we s...
Pittsburgh to Philadelphia,
Dreaming of the place I love,
Sweet purple flowers falling into a beautiful pile of confetti on the sidewalks.
and the scent of delicious bud,
How things could just be sweet,
Easy,
Chill.
Fun.
Weird.
But I’m always stuck in PA,
The wrong Oakland.
So I reach for the drugs,
Reach out to the plug.
For sure need a buzz,
I have got to be numb,
Cause I can’t stand the pain....
We were a lightning strike,
We were so broken,
But then we found each other,
And I never thought I’d have to worry again.
I thought I had you,
I was sure,
But then you left me,
Without a word,
It breaks my heart so hard,
I can’t glue it back together,
It’s shattered and ruined,
Just like my life.
I cheered for you so much harder
Than I ever did myself,
And I knew things felt hopeless,
But I thoug...
Sometimes, when it’s dark, I slip outside and stare up at the sky, the stars, the moon.
I can hear the wind rustle the fallen leaves, and I can hear you,
Your sweet, soft voice, whispering to me, if only I could make out the words from a living ghost,
Vanished, by choice.
I cannot feel you with me anymore, I can no longer read your thoughts, feel your feelings, mirror you.
The silence is soul cru...
You’d think death would be late for lessons,
But it seems to be the perfect time,
For the living,
And the left behind.
It runs in my head on a constant loop,
All the things I should have said and done.
I cannot forgive myself,
And I cannot move on.
Maybe one day when I die,
I’ll finally be back by your side,
Just know each time I think of you,
I can’t help but to cry.
I knew better,
I was selfi...
Go outside, it’s great weather they say,
They are trying to melt me with this summer’s day.
And to avoid going out there I do suppose I hide.
School may be out but the bugs are out too,
I can’t believe we want them but I guess scientists do,
I don’t wish death on many but bugs aren’t what I’m about.
I can’t wait til it cools down,
Or until I can move out,
To the place I belong.
I’ve never done ...
I wonder if you are really listening,
Can you even hear me?
I’m drowning alone,
And you don’t seem to see.
I scream
Into the void
But you don’t seem
To hear a word.
You’ll never believe me,
You’ll say it’s all in my head,
That I made a bad choice,
So why am I not dead?
Or am I?
Not quite dead,
Not quite alive.
You still can’t see it from my side.
You don’t hear a word I say,
You don’t really e...
You say you love me
But really you don’t.
You’d put nothing above me,
Except cash, cars, and homes.
You say that you love me
But really you don’t,
If you really loved me,
You’d do the things you just won’t.
You say that you love me,
But won’t let me go home,
Where it’s happy and lovely
Not this hell I’ve always known.
You say you accept me,
But I know it isn’t true,
Instead you reject me,
And p...
