Chaos
what are you living for
is it that girl again
is she really that one
your only
lets get real
don't laugh it off
don't let your dreams
carry you away from
where the truth really lies
where it really hurts
don't confess your darkest
secrets to me
don't send me off into the
world unknowing and naive of its malice
the no's surrounds us
all... pulling us in... closer
tighter, tranquility and stars
skin breathes skin, pores
mere holes to the underneath
is it that girl again
why does she always show up
at the worst times
she took it from you, didn't she
stole right from you
and you let her
and you let her do it
over and over again
the hits, the burning, the
outrages, the hangings
where are you
are you hiding in the closet
what about the bathroom
that right
there you are
wrapped up in a towel
blood stained and forlorn
my friend my friend
where have you gone
