My Morphine Shot
It's a battle between
Common sense and capability,
And it's tearing me apart.
I don't know why
It'd be so wrong if I
Threw it away and followed my heart.
Now you don't need to ask,
Confidence is quite scarce,
Internal strength is hard to find.
And now all I feel is doubt,
What's this life all about?
I think I am loosing my mind.
So tell me now before I leave,
Is it true what I believe;
Will you always be there for me?
Because it's true that all love fades,
But I don't like it that way,
I'd rather have you for eternity.
Hear my pleas, hear my cries,
Lie right next to me tonight,
Be my comfort and take away the pain.
'Cause I can't be here forever,
All good things will sever,
Oh, but I know it's a shame.
I've Written Something New About Something Very Old
Now I've got something new for you,
Sit and listen to my tale,
And remember it was here that you heard it,
Before the words were twisted and stale.
Can't you see that I'm trying?
Can't you see that I'm dying?
And in the dead of the night,
Can't you hear me crying?
I know that I'll never be good enough for you
So let's just enjoy this as there's nothing else we can do.
Now I've lost another chance,
And it's just right that I'd fail,
This wretched thing called Karma's
Keeping hot on my trail.
Now I'm bored with this life,
But death's not too appealing,
You know you're near the abottoir,
When you can hear the squealing.
Can't you see that I'm trying?
Can't you see that I'm dying?
And in the dead of the night,
Can't you hear me crying?
I know that I'll never be good enough for you
So let's just enjoy this as there's nothing else we can do.
Now I need some inspiration,
Something to help me carry on,
Something that you'll be singing,
Long after I'm gone.
I'm writing up a window,
That leads straight into my soul,
Now I've never sung like this before,
Hear the warning bells toll
Can't you see that I'm trying?
Can't you see that I'm dying?
And in the dead of the night,
Can't you hear me crying?
I know that I'll never be good enough for you
So let's just enjoy this as there's nothing else we can do.
So that's all from me now,
I hope you listened to my prose.
It's an ancient story, told before,
Just not in words like those.
My Favourite Place
I cry when no ones watching,
So they can't see me when I'm weak,
I'll smile and try to hide it,
But from my pores it seems to seep,
Into my face where everyone can see.
When you look at me,
Can you see me crumbling?
Or do you see some form of inner strength?
Wipe the tears from my face,
Tell me I'm not a disgrace.
Wrap me in your arms - My favourite place.
I want you to say that you love me,
But I'm scared that it's not true,
Because I just can't believe that I
Deserve so much attention from you,
It's you're hand that pulls me through.
When you look at me,
Can you see me crumbling?
Or do you see some form of inner strength?
Wipe the tears from my face,
Tell me I'm not a disgrace.
Wrap me in your arms - My favourite place
I'm feeling alone right now,
The future seems so far away,
An empty void here I'm
Doomed to forever stay,
Until the shards of light start to stray.
When you look at me,
Can you see me crumbling?
Or do you see some form of inner strength?
Wipe the tears from my face,
Tell me I'm not a disgrace.
Wrap me in your arms - My favourite place
