Don'T You

Don't you feel the same as I do? Words flow out, but their meaning is lost In voids of hate, for everything But you; I stutter along To my midnight black travels into pitfalls That get deeper the further I fall... Don't you feel the same as I do? Or did I simply miss the target? Practice makes perfect But I'm not getting any better in my eyes And you don't need to practice lying... Please don't feel the same as I do, I thought you wouldn't understand Me and the drawings on my wrist You empty your thoughts Through spilt ink on white carpets Even though you said you couldn't paint... I knew you couldn't feel the same as I do White lies you showed me and ripped out of trust Suffocating on sirens, Hugging my throat and my ears And my eyes don't see the same anymore... Nobody feels the same as I do And thank God they don't see what I see in me Thoughts trapped inside a vortex Shivering in panicked mannerisms Which freeze my tongue to the words I could never say.
