Something Or Nothing
Am i something or nothing?
among the stars who lie
teaching lessons
you do not perceive
am i nothing or something in the bliss of the voices
finally freed to musical freedoms of speach?
am i something or nothing?
do you see me?
It's like the world is tag teaming me
from poetic cult
to master peace of tragedy
of Vegas rolling it's last dice
from paradice not seen
to a life we could be living
and i cry for you
am I something or nothing
I'm nothing
Just one layer
not two or three
what you see on the surface is all I am
nothing bone deep
nothing but a mind
that might one day
haunt this epic
to make another point
to string you along
am i nothing or something?
will i turn into a life lesson
can you comprehend me
like i can?
am I somebody or a nothing
dressed in black and torn and jaded kicked outfor not pretending
loved and lost
in the mess of everything
crying shallow tears
after asking god
how his day was
and i see nothing
and everything
am i something nothing
or everything
another closed door
another salty sore
another licked wound?
can you help me
heal these wounds
this psychological masterpiece
can you hand me another key to the fairytale you are not writing to throw
another stone
into history
somebody free me and i will
vanish
into the voices of the muse
astounded by thee tears
they don't see of the scars
filtered out
they might one day purchase and realise
i am somebody
i am something
soo many lives and lies i''m living
another game of chicken
shhhhhh
i just want you to know i love you
am i something or nothing
never anyone's favorite
I'm sorry
but i'm always and forever
the victom
look to the music
and watch it claim me again
to the voices of freedom
and the tangents their experiencing because of me
in my lonely room
