Cursed
I am like a cigarette waiting to be burnt out
My eyes are waiting for a drought
My heart wants to burst
But sadly I am cursed
To not feel any emotional attachment
Ever since I was a kid those feelings have been absent
I would love to feel again
But I can’t find anything to gain
I am just a man
With no plan
To fix my tormented heart
I would rather for it to be ripped apart
My whole life I have been plagued
By these memories that can’t seem to fade
I could never find a cure
To make my heart pure
My heart is pandora's box
Everyone always gives it a shot
To get it opened
But you can’t open what is already broken
You don’t want to love me
I will not fill your heart with glee
I will only fill it with pain
My heart is impossible to tame
I feel so cold
These feelings are getting old
I am always so sad
I always feel bad
I don’t want to care
Life isn’t fair
My life is a war
I’m stuck on the floor
Crying an ocean
I don’t want to feel emotion
My heart feels sick
I am always everyone’s last pick
I'm lost in a forest of doom and gloom oom
I need to find my way out soon
I am drowning in a sea of tears
I am consumed by my childhood fears
I never had time to play
I just wanted to run away
From the black cloud
And every big crowd
I am scared to be alone
I am scared that I will get kicked out of this fake home
I need a better place to go
Let's go on with the show
I was forced to grow
I was in more pain than you will ever know
Ever since I was a kid I was tackling obstacles
Solving my problems back then wasn’t possible
I still can’t solve em
Its problem after problem
They just keep piling up like tear soaked tissues
And empty bottles of booze
I would make bad choices to attempt to feel better
I used to be kind of a beggar
I used to get abuse a lot of things to feel faded
I was addicted to getting wasted
I started out with depression
I soon got to memory suppression
Then all of my problems fell into place
I turned into a basket case
