It's Like I'm Running Nowhere
Could you complete these next sentences for me?
Because i don't feel like i'm worth listening to
And could you please remind me why i breath?
When theres a stake in my lungs and i could care less if it leaves
See, i stole a life, and guess what? It was mine
Eyes wide, closed mind, i could be back in that high
Tripping over every single girl that i see
In a moive, magazine, or on the t.v.
But if i could say that i am not what i think
I'd rather bite off my tounge than have to lie through my teeth
Because i'm addicted to loving girls
That i never even meet...
But this won't be the death of me
Because i won't stand for
Every lie you fed to me
Give me back my identity
And i'm so weak and insecure
So take my eyes and make them yours
And take my heart and make it pure
Please tell my future wife i love her
I'm sorry i'm too selfish to think of her
But it's so hard to do
When i'm caught between pornography and you
It's like i'm running
from a life that hates me
A phantom in my basement
A world thats gone complacent
And i cant
take it
With both feet glued to the pavement
I tried to run- I could'nt make it
Now i'm stuck between
The world
And my addiction
