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
