The Only One Who Knows

Folder: 
2005 - 2006

I want to be like you

But being like you means I’ll be afraid

Sometimes I think it’d be better

I’m stuck on the edge of being just okay

It makes me feel like my opinion is waste

But I know that numb is just another form of pain



Did you know I died for you

Not physically but mentally and emotionally

I think we both know that that’s bad

But I think I’m the only one who knows that it’s worse



I confess you captured me

Made me believe that rapture could set me free

Though I can’t see how these tethers will loosen

It makes me think through the eyes of an amputee

And since this detachment is internal

You cannot come rescue me



Did you know I died for you

Not physically but mentally and emotionally

I think we both know that that’s bad

But I think I’m the only one who knows that it’s worse



Twenty-four calendar sets flipped

Though one middle finger says it all

I walk away unaffected



Did you know I died for you

Not physically but mentally and emotionally

I think we both know that that’s bad

But I think I’m the only one who knows that it’s worse
