Middle Hours
As my head lays motionless on top of a soaked pillow
While my empty music fills the void of the room at midnight
Blank eyes illumanted by wrung out lyrics
I know you'll never be there
right in my hour of need
Being absent from the pain is lonely
So lonely, I try not to be
All I do is hide away behind a facade, how vacant my theatere really is
Shows stuck behind rehearsed lines
I try not to want to
I keep rolling around in sheets in the dark
waiting for that last note
I can't help but love it even though I try not to
Turn a deaf ear to my prescence is what I've managed through
Love the way I feel so cold
I love the way it hurts
becasue it reminds me what I'm truly worth in the dark
In the dolor nights I cry myself to a bittersweet felt sleep
I weep in marked time that I'll be in your arms hold/
that you'll love me while I fall apart
I try not to, but hearing the words I want to
makes me more of a mess
I dig until my lip bleeds, till I can barely breathe
with my fingers scratching deep into the wreck I call myself
I am covered by the music in the background
My tears don't have a sound track
but they replay the most dark times where I
hear the words I love at night
"I wish you were here......"
