Ballad of Me
"What are you going to do with that hole?
"When everything you love has gone?
"And you are left with
"A hole in your chest
"Where your heart used to be.
"You've got to fill those holes!
"You've gotta fill them
"Or they;ll turn mean-
"So what are you going to do
"With that hole?"
-Hounddog
"Ballad of Me"
I don't want to fill this hole
I don't want this
Gapping hole, this gapping hole where
Where my heart used to be
So everyone would see
This gapping hole
My gapping hole in my chest
Where my heart once used to beat
Everyone would see
This gapping hole
They'd see
My pain and misery
I don't want to fill this hole
But I don't want to grow mean either
I can't run away from
This gapping hole
Where my heart used to be.
I can't even pretend it doesn't exist
My Soul aches in agony
I don't want to fill this hole!
But I will not be forgotten!
I refuse to be another tragedy!
I've been through the ringer
Knocked on Heaven's Door
I started death in eye,
And took a taxi home.
I thought I was dead
If you ever want to do me in
It's gonna take a lot more than that!
I write poems for my abrasions
I compose words to cure cancer
I write to fill this massive hole
Did I tell you?
I'm not afraid to keep living.
I will not be defeated by my foe
I've been oppressed
Filled my lungs with depressant
Then all of a sudden I
Woke up
Like Rumpelstiltskin
Like what the fuck?
It pissed me off!
Welcome to my nightmare
My real life disaster/ tragedy
This is the
Ballad of me.
