waking up early with a head full of sleep and the dark in the sky can sometimes be the most lonely feeling
it is only then, when i'm so deep inside my skin that i really feel safe starting to question
we say that we have to, but there is no such thing
there are consequences ofcourse, but there is also choice
i have to wonder how that little voice inside my head forcing me out of the covers got so powerful
technically, i could just stay in bed
technically, i could skate away
but there is still that survival instinct too afraid to let go of all that i am used to
work is so easy, just standing for hours
scan scan scan, happy smile
rhetorical questions, the fakest of laughs
$40 closer to my wildest dreams
i spent too many hours watching tv, but i had nothing else to do
little worlds i'm not apart of seeping into my conciousness
pull the curtains around matt and school and friends for a while
a place where nothing matters, not even in my brain
what could possible be safer?
he's hurting so much that it's starting to break me
jump on a train and leave it all behind
i would but...i can't
why? i don't know
not enough stamina i guess
just not enough fucking stamina
maybe someday we can be happy, but for now this makes more sense
all these miles and we still hurt so bad
what happens if we're close and you break my heart?
or worse, what happens if i break yours?
there's booze in my closet and pills in my drawer
there's smoke in my lungs and aches in my head
but here in my mind there's only these jumbles
of what i think words are supposed to be
in the car i talk to myself, making great revelations
i pretend i am in a play, some weird artsy shit with a strange camera angle
matt wishes he could be tyler durdon but i just want some valium
i'm such i realist
even with drugs i can't be that crazy
i live in too close quarters with normal
i hope that it gets easier from here on
i hope that it gets easy if we pretend we're okay
these are just the notes i take down when it feels like i can't breathe
