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
