Dead Weight

[pneumoniahawk93]

First song I wrote...see what you think!:thumb:



metaphor inside a metaphor is a case for having nothing to say...
(sincerity... evaporated,)
disappeared into the ether like a lonely ghost, like a lonely spirit,
(broken, dilapidated.)

a word of hate can strike out and stab a wound into a heart, into a soul,
(you promised..you promised)
your words can rip me apart, can tear me down, can make me whole...

(chorus:)
Standing on this cliff, lean into the wind,
hope it props me up, hope it guides me in,
hope you find that someday this will all be easier,
standing here tonight, i don’t feel that flight,
feel like dead weight, feel like i’m breaking up inside...
i hope you find that someday this will all be easier...

When i began, i was so young, so carefree,
I never thought to check, never thought to listen
to my instincts, while all the while, you were behind me
with an evil smile...
It all makes sense, you’re the highest martyr,
bent on making the same mistakes
but I won’t let it happen,
I won’t let you break my fall,
I’m not that small...

(chorus)

As you can see, love’s a fickle friend,
counting on the others to make it worse,
when it all comes crashing down,
who’ll be the one inside the hearse?

chorus
