Till I'M Gone

When I'm gone... You're gonna miss me over my dead body When I'm gone... Till I'm gone...bye-bye, love...I guess I was your nobody and love everybody, but me... When I finally belong You're gonna depart from me When I sing my song You'll try to embrace me, but I'll turn the other cheek embarrassingly... Pack up and leave I'm keeping pace with my every heart beat and with every movement of my tireless, energetic feet Walk away or I'll grieve I'm preserving vast grace with successful fails in repeat...in repeat... Till I'm gone away from your trance that enhanced negativity Till I'm gone...I'm not significant in your eyes of plastic positivity Till I'm gone, a freak that gets pushed in the margins, that loner amongst the crowd of know-it-alls and gossipers Till I'm gone, I'm the winds of wistfulness that whispers Word of wisdom to you...I echo my mesmerizing murmurs Words of foolishness and jokes that gives you painful laughters Take all of me Till I'm gone High hopes flee As I run... I'm arriving undone No one sees Cuz no one cares...all they do is make fun Of me, oh please The reason I keep pressing on Is that I am in need of this gap filled Feels like I've been let down a ton I'm not worthy of praise or recognition...that's what reality paints me a picture of and I am the frame that looks upon it...unfulfilled... Rather, I beg to differ I am confidently humble Why am I lazy hyper? I stumble on disheartening rubble Tripping on your barriers Till I'm gone away for real The cat beside me purrs My problems are no huge deal I'll get over it Till I'm gone I'll give up and throw myself in this painstaking pit Till I'm gone Till I'm gone Kill this hate, Loving me alive I'm in this state Of I-won't-survive Too many words pierce my ribcage...doubts drown me, for we were never on the same page Too many arrows shot me down in this reduced-to-rage cage...what did I do to deserve your revenge that smells of chocolate and a-scorching sage Rather, I beg to differ I am confidently humble Why am I lazy hyper? I stumble on disheartening rubble Tripping on your barriers Till I'm gone away for real The cat beside me purrs My problems are no huge deal I'll get over it Till I'm gone I'll give up and throw myself in this painstaking pit Till I'm gone Till I'm gone You pulled the trigger I bit the bullet, self-absorbed son of a gun Fickle, hatred-marinated lovin' made me feel sicker and it made me drunk off the lament liquor I ran the extra mile, only to find that you are the morbid moon, not the shimmering sun Tripping on your barriers Till I'm gone away for real The cat beside me purrs My problems are no huge deal I'll get over it Till I'm gone I'll give up and throw myself in this painstaking pit Till I'm gone Till I'm gone Tripping on your barriers Till I'm gone away for real The cat beside me purrs My problems are no huge deal I'll get over it Till I'm gone I'll give up and throw myself in this painstaking pit Till I'm gone Till I'm gone Till I'm gone Till I'm found, Coming undone Underground Corruption's cum cloud my eyes, but I'm still gonna be the champion of this run Victory-bound With a shout sound Till I'm gone Till I'm gone That all-to-familiar silent wars that we fought, We were all distraught and it was all for naught We are putting our wild-child souls and spirits on river fire The moment you buried me alive with your disdain desire When I finally belong You're gonna depart from me When I sing my song You'll try to embrace me, but I'll turn the other cheek embarrassingly... Pack up and leave I'm keeping pace with my every heart beat and with every movement of my tireless, energetic feet Walk away or I'll grieve I'm preserving vast grace with successful fails in repeat...in repeat... Till I'm gone and break, Till I'm gone for your sake Till I've gone away from your grip Till I've found a sheltering, shameless relationship Called friendship with no limits No more worries or little misfits I'm done with carrying around your emotional baggage that is so unfeeling...killing me gently, but steadily; it's rather oddly interesting I've gone astray into a land of grand people that understand...I've done much healing and it's quite appealing
