My Old Friend

I finished that song I started. It's not great, but I needed it done quickly. But I think the skeleton is there.

Give your heart,

Get nothing back,

But that empty, devouring pain

Strive to help

But you’re just another

Hurting yourself in vain

There must be more

To this broken record

A modulated refrain

I thought I composed this life

But the performers used their own interpretation.

Because when everyone else runs for their lives,

Then we’re the ones that get left behind.

I’m just another, lost puzzle piece,

But how can you function without me?

When everyone else is sorted out,

Then we’re the ones that are forgotten about.

So leave them to their childish games,

And meet yourself again.

Under clouds,

All shades of black,

Fallacy’s never been so pathetic,

Rain mixed with tears,

Let them both fall,

The pure against the tainted

Try to feel,

Homeward attack,

But the other’s they just don’t get it.

Give me just another second chance

Maybe this one might last.

Because when everyone else runs for their lives,

Then we’re the ones that get left behind.

I’m just another, lost puzzle piece,

But how can you function without me?

When everyone else is sorted out,

Then we’re the ones that are forgotten about.

So leave them to their childish games,

And meet yourself again.
