Friday Night

Here's a penny for your thoughts Maybe a nickel or a dime for your thoughts Maybe even a quarter or dollar bills for your thoughts Perhaps, you don't care enough to be around me tonight Moreover, I'll be alone and cuddle my cat or dog all night It doesn't matter what I feel anyways Tattered and forlorn, having one of those days I'm feeling a little bit sad... I've been doing bad Not at all mad...glad you noticed I hope you have the best day that I never had Not at all crazy...you will be missed It doesn't help when you put me on a guilt trip It doesn't relax me when you work me up a lot It doesn't fix the injuries of the past when I have lost sanity's grip It doesn't have to be like this all the time...throw all your worries into a boiling pot This Friday night has been lonesome This depression has been gruesome Well, can't complain, life is life I guess I can tell you I'm insane and you wouldn't mind more or less Hate being bipolar sometimes Can't escape the rollercoaster of emotions Great...here comes the lows after the highs...committing senseless crimes Can't move on when you drag your feet on bittersweet notions Vanity and the blues took my seed of hope away Threw it into the swarming sharks below me Profanity and the news flood my notifications night and day I decided not to have a phone with me actually Dreading the misery I've been bottling up inside Heading into the labrinth of lies and pitiful pride Your state of mind is engulfed in flames of unfulfilled fantasies Reality really bites hard with fangs of devouring agonies I'm probably being overly dramatic Maybe I'm acting very, very pathetic But, I want to know what will make you accept my shameless sympathy This Friday night, I want to be floating in clouds of serenity, not in the chambers of your captivity I lay my weary head down to rest I keep thinking about you at your best Hoping your Friday night is amazing Hoping your eyes are stargazing I'm in a daze when I'm with you I'm in a daze when I'm with you But, not tonight...tonight... Doesn't feel all that right... I hear the birds chirp in bliss Why can't I? Happiness amiss Dismiss my distress And my overbearing loneliness I can tell you're a priceless gem... That shines anew, unlike them... Life is a difficult game to play You could be a winner or loser any day My night sky is the darkest of blues When I'm with you...and in my muse... Dismay and disarray fade away Like the aftermath of mowing a lawn, Left with perfectly cut grass and come what may We will be together from dusk to dawn You will turn out to be a penny for my thoughts, something I've secretly adored Or an infinite amount of dollars, my priceless friend I'll keep buying you as many shirley temple shots as I can possibly afford Your scars I will mend as long as you'll be around the bend How absurd...well...I tend to get so lost in words Wish I was merry this Friday night like you Wish I could love you up like I always do... Yeah...um...can someone shut up those birds??
