The Vent


The only time we have to let everything out

So if we do it for one, lets make it count....

 

I think its time to let them pour

I been holding them in so much i gotta make room for more

Its crazy cuz ion even know where to start

So lets start with the core of the human body called the heart

My hearts died so many times its amazing im still alive

Its been ripped to pieces and stabbed to death

Its practically begged me to take my last breath

And its amazing i still got love for my one ex

And i never told anybody that before

Maybe cuz ion talk to you no more

And I cant even lie I sometimes wish the happiness that filled my soul and completed my heart had last

But i know our relationship is now something in the past

And bringing it back up will cause nothing but pain

Maybe not for you but maybe for me

Cuz back then I was blind but you helped me see

But maybe i've changed

Maybe through my eyes you're not the only one I see invisible

Cuz then that would be almost criminal

If i noticed you and not others or noticed others and not you

Cuz im looking at reality and reality contains the truth

The truth that people change as time goes on

And that hope i was holding onto for so long is now gone

And everything else I felt has just completely disappeared

Along with all my emotions and my fears

As the darkness swallows me whole

With my body, mind and soul

I let these emotions get the best of me

And these things, these monsters were almost the death of me

But not anymore that time is now done

I took those emotions lined them up and shot them one by one

This is the time i killed my emotions

The time when i let them all spill out onto a single piece of paper that was just a paper with blanks with the edges bent

And I didnt even realize that they were dead until i laid down in bed and said i need to vent....

 

So how can you vent when you dont have emotions...
