Thoughts of Nothings

My head is filled with thoughts of nothing
When time arose a rose was budding 
Slithered through the cracks of concrete
Was the beat of my heart pounding

Sit me down with a pick me up
 And Pick me up when I come down

What is this place that seems to keep me
Tugging on my soul I'm seething

Never do I ever feel real enough
This page, I'ma fill it up
and when it's done

I'll still feel empty

Time is ticking and it's pissing me off
I get lost in the sound 
I get lost in the crowd
But where am I now.   Lost

Nowhere particular 
Thoughts linear
To my dreams I'm perpendicular

It's the saddest  emotions
That Seem to soak me

Feeling like the frayed fabric
On your favorite clothing

The questions I've asked for years still goes unoticed 

Or there's questions I have that are still unspoken

Shrug of the shoulder
Is the closing for this notion

I don't care and even when I do its only for a moment

Feeling kinda low
Not low enough to slit my throat
But low enough to smoke to cope
Swallow vodka but won't choke

My sober mind is like a mine
Bombs explode, I lose my mind
Confused at times, losing time
Don know what to do with mine

Direction is my perplexion
Which way is up Cuz I'm still, still stagnant 
Though, still standing 
I feel stranded

The doubt I have doubles 
When I'm in trouble
Like 
How u gone make it to the rainbow's end
Standing in a puddle
Where's the shuttle 
We all want what we want all of a sudden

When that time isn't now
We shutting down
Its either all or nothin 
But it's nothing... now
