Out the Door

Out the door
out of my sight
Out of my mind
Reconciliation--I'm trying to find my way again
Where is the present?  I'm constantly failing to find it
Tell me now, if this ain't love how do I get out?
Leave the pieces lying where they are
I just might cut my fingers off trying to put them back into place
Wait.

The days press on
The memories desecrate the future once again
My mind is a breaking reflection of what it wants to be
Thoughts are everywhere
Like blood splatter on a red wall
I'm trying to figure out
Which one belongs to me
When did I have a choice?
I think I put this on me
I really don't hate it as much as I should
Should I?
I hoped you could have told me
But it's too late now
Or Is it?
Losing it again
The music is carrying me through the motions again
I'm feeling slightly dizzy again
The present--find me please
I'm lost again
Wait
God Dammit here we go again
It's something morbid
Like something sour and sticky stuck on the roof of your mouth
I'm trying to wash it out with something
I'm looking at the photographs
I'm reading what I wrote
It still doesn't make sense to him
It doesn't make sense to my therapist either
No, this isn't a rant
I'm trying to make a point
There's a blackness that's hiding underneath
Not some Emo Shit
Real, legitimate blackness
I can't see through it like I can see through the rest of them
I can't understand it as well as I can understand the rest
It's like that haunting voice you hear that only reaches your ears with the wind
Like it's trying to tell you something about someone
What is it saying?
I can't figure it out anymore
I need help with this one
Where am I go going?
Shit, I just lost the present again
Faces, lights, wavelengths, eyes
They're bright and they're so damn colorful--but they're black
They're like me--just always wondering about what to wonder about
There's no recovery.  There's no recollection.  There's only an obsession
I'm losing myself to an compulsive stasis
I'm feeling trapped like a bird in an oven
The dial is set somewhere on this machinery
When is my time going to be up?
When are my guts going to fly against the walls?
Maybe they'll find the answer somewhere in the muck
No, it's not that emo shit
This is real.
Dammit
I'm trying to find something so desperately
I'm trying to find it in between eating my meals
I'm trying to figure it out in between homework assignments
I'm trying to figure it out when I'm on my break at work
I can't figure this out
What more can I possibly say without reiterating?
It's the same story over and over and over and over again
Maybe I should just snap.
I have to snap sooner or later
I just have to snap
I have to
snap
