Same Old Song

Same Old Song

My heart is breaking
Things I love are taken
Endless time, I’m wasting
Fake words is what I’m saying
I’m not religious
But I’m over here praying
Funny how it ends like that
Only when times are tough
That’s when we wanna go back
My mind is clouded
My mouth is stitched
My limbs are stiff

I’m always feeling like I can’t move on
Stuck in a life-long loop
Playing the same old song

Trying to take things in
Breath by breath
But it’s hard to breathe
The atmosphere is filled with
Hate, disgust, liars and thieves
I feel all alone
You only know you’re lost
When you’re missing home
You only know the cost
When you’re dry to the bone
Trying to hide the pain
Deep down so it doesn’t hurt
But nothing is what I gain
In the end it never works

I’m always feeling like I can’t move on
Stuck in a life-long loop
Playing the same old song

Misery is my melody
Misery also loves company
But it seems the only one singing
Is me
I’m losing tears
Over hidden fears
That come to light
Who knew that the dark
Could be so bright
The beginning is always the darkest of days
Can’t seem to find my way
Just trying to stay strong
Just trying to hold on
But I’m stuck in a life-long loop
Playing the same old song

I’m always feeling like I can’t move on
Stuck in a life-long loop

Playing the same old song

Sticks & Stones

Sticks & Stones


We all heard that saying:
Sticks and stones may break my bones,
but them words would never hurt me.”
That may be true
but is it reality?
Cause them words may not hurt me
but they stay with me
Hide deep down within me
Haunt me, tear me
Scare me, tease me
Those words live in me
Feed off me
Emotionally drain me
Those sticks and stones only hurt temporarily
But those words drive me into insanity
So, “Sticks and stones may break my bones,
but them words would never hurt me”
Is that reality
Or is it sophistry?
Maybe it’s true metaphorically
But literally
We need a new saying like:
Sticks and stones may break my bones
but them words could emotionally
kill me.”
