Resentment grows by the day
Like dark vines laced with poison
Unsettling me
Hiding it becomes harder
As I gaze into the mirror
Trying to find the missing pieces

The shadows of my dark thoughts
Swim inside this hellhole
Taunting my sanity
A rage, I didn't know existed
Burns at the pit of my soul
When the monster in me steps out
Ruthless and deceptive

I would rather
Be a lone ranger
Traversing the wild woods all alone
Than feeling strange
Living in the same house
Yet somehow staying miles apart

I used to like the way...
Sarcasm rolled out
Of your Insolent tongue

I used to hate myself...
For hating you
Now I just feel numb

I used to wonder why...
You grew cold and distant
Maybe if I had tried hard enough
To mend our troubled ties
I wouldn't be so hurt
Why do you have to be so curt?

I used to wonder why...
A crushing weight subdued me
Maybe I wasn't loud enough
But i would rather not try
Because I can't afford to cry
A river, one more time

I used to wonder why...
Our young and innocent
Mirth filled days
Waned into nothingness
Now I just don't want to anymore
My eyes can't afford to be so sore

I used to wonder why...
I felt so caged and isolated
Within these familiar walls
Why I got so sick and tired
I guess it's just your luck
That i don't give a fuck
Not anymore!

It scares me a little
That it's just so easy for me
To slip into this unfeeling skin
It scares me a little
That these thoughts
Are very much mine
