Never To Re Appear

NEVER TO RE-APPEAR
 
Every day good people simply disappear 
Yet a letch like me is forced to still be here
I am jealous of the ones who get themselves lost
Because for me living comes at too great a cost

I can’t seem to stop paying the price
Even though for me every day is like rolling the dice
“where the hell could he be?” I want people to ask
Because just waking up is such a difficult task

Most people know what their day holds in store
But as for me I don’t care to be here anymore 
however there are ties that bind that keep me tethered somewhere
Because seeing the world being polluted is something I cannot bear

Before the sun says hello I’m up and cursing that I awoke
My soul is hardened and my heart has been broke
Broken too many times because I do things wrong
So I never find a place where I really belong

I’ve gotten to the place where if I meet someone sweet
I try to chase her away with flames, fire and heat
It’s because disappointing her is all that I fear
Other people do, so like them why can’t I simply disappear?
