i said my goodbyes, turned my back and headed straight into the sun. a blank canvas glistening with dreams of everything i would become. and now i'm crashing in on a wing and a prayer, not exactly wiser, but surely worse for wear.
september '04, thought i was done for. shaking like the wretches on those islington corners. i used to burn so bright. the whole world was blinded. now i've nothing left to show but cheap tattoos: permanent bruises. a shell that hardened even as it turned to dust. i used to burn so bright until i chased a poison. love couldn't compete with the drugs. what would you think of me? i took my chances holding fast against the wrecking ball, just to feel something else.
mama, i've seen some things i can't unsee, so pull the wool over my eyes until it's at my goddamn knees.
mama, i've done some things i can't undo, six strings to hide behind and the world is built anew.
and dad, i only ever wanted to make you proud but sometimes i think i could fill a book with all the ways i've let you down. your son is lost at 28, still scraping by for that casual wage, all so he can nightly rise to gut himself on that all-forgiving stage. and i hope you understand.
i've climbed the walls to feed my ghosts; and on those nights this pain is beautiful.
you've got to throw yourself to the wolves. there is nothing left to lose. i feel it burning down on me. there is nothing left...
