Let downs happen
I should be used to this feeling
Yet it tests me again and again
Wondering what I've done wrong
Time after time, it's gotta be my fault
Because the conclusion is always the same
I've gotta be the one to blame
Cause I've chased these tumble weeds
And forgotten where I was
Broken pieces fall apart as I run
After things that shimmer and shine
I want to be a part of it
To move like a shadow across the ground
It's like screaming without sound
What I'd give to not have false hope
Because when disappointment sets in
and disapproval shows its face
I sit here wanting to know
How many days it'll be this time
Fighting addictions, trying to hold back
Each time the harder they attack
The anger rises within me
And I need to let it out somehow
So inward it goes
Letting myself be the one I hate
Cause see you always get the pedestals
Because I don't want you to sink
And I'll, I'll stay awake and spill my ink
Sleep soundly tonight
as I try to count all those sheep
Fixated and how I can fix me up
Make you proud one day
Maybe promises will mean more
But really it's probably just a waste of time
Because you'd never look at my rhymes.
