Half a Person

Bear witness to the birth of
Broken promises
As the truth escapes
An honest man breaks
And I’m always getting worse
At keeping words
Can’t erase the things
That my anger brings
Can’t erase my striving relationship with loss
Agony I was taught
Moral standard has been maladjusted
And senseless acts reinforced
Anything to forget the pain
The agony I was taught
Becoming everything
I never wanted to be, somehow
Until I close my eyes and just fade out
Just fade out
My soul slips out
Out the back door
To the city streets
I can only hope for
Things to get better
But they never do
Growing further from myself
Without you
Bear witness to the death of
Love I never received
When I was young
Just wanted to be by your side
But I guess I wasn’t good enough
Can’t say that I’m proud
Of the live I’ve come to know
I feel the worst things in my soul
And if I never make it home tonight the streets will swallow me whole
Love to love to love to love you
But fuck it
Love, I couldn’t cut it
