The Things My Sadness Brings: Part 2

Will this song be instilling in me some peace That has only been felt by the deceased Or is this just another disaster of clumsy chords And am I just screaming redeeming my place On top of the pedestal of fools Again this isn’t what I had in mind This falls just short of my goal In truth my mind’s a black hole Sucking me in with every single thought Give it a round of applause because from it this song was brought It has sought to be heard and finally it has took the form of word Has it also infected you with some cryptic thoughts That have been jumbled together and rumbled through my lips I know I am just the vessel and I’ve already crossed the threshold But o was bold and sold my soul In order to the words that I hold Some of us are just cast from a different mold Now I gasp to find the last few words And I hope it’s silent as you drive towards home, where ever that maybe Because there is a new voice in your head and it sounds similar to me It’s singing loud and out of key Instilling in you some residual feelings The you begin thinking “If he did it why can’t I” But then you realize there’s that girl by your side Staring intently with eyes wide Unlike me your heart has a place to confide And to cry in and hide until the pain subsides As for me I will ride home with my mind And some stranger that I find We will sip our wine she will slip off her dress She will soon learn she was just to help pass the time Her name will soon slip my mind I just wish for the warmth of a whisper In these freezing months that have eclipsed us I guess I’ll settle for this old stage which is my display case I try, I try to make my case But the lies I sing are just some old parlor tricks I hope they will suffice for all of the apologies I missed or forgot to give So now I’ll just scream with blackened lungs In some old forgotten tongues about my misery Please save your sympathy because it will be wasted on me
