Asleep

Slow paced voice with no energetic behavior

Sitting in a chair all day

Like Charles Xavier

Just a bit hazier

And a lot more crazier

LIke I’ve gone buck wild

Still playing around,

Trying to stay a child

Livin’ life like it’s still a daydream

I know I’m asleep

‘Cuz nothing’s what it seems

 

Like,

I still have no problems and worries

And after I wake, I’m in a hurry

Rushing throughout the days

So I can come back and take in all of my amaze

It’s amazing how we can project a life-like image

Or a Timmy Turner nightmare of eating Spinach

But we won’t say good riddance

Because a goodbye isn’t just a ticket out the door

But a goodnight is a farewell kiss plus a snore

 

A dream-like state is what brought Martin to his character

Stating our voices is what should be registered

 

 

She called me out one night

and I waited in a fearful freight

Come to find out she’s leaving me

Even though she became my need

I thought I could get her back

Couldn’t believe that she left someone who would stay intact

Just might

If I say she’s right

But Not Obviously

because it’s a prophecy I just can't see

It was over right then and there

She attacked me only because I cared

Beat me with her swears

But who knows?

I can’t tell by the way she shows

Maybe the impact of her intolerance was something of the normal

As if always calling me out was a way to be immortal

So I tell her how it is

Now it’s how it was

Must admit,

I really liked the buzz

and the buttons that I pressed

When she yelled at me,

Had to get it out my chest

Night after night it stopped being we

or us

Love or lust

We were together

It was our trust

Forget the crush

Because it crushed my heart

When I found out I pulled us apart

And now I don't love her at all anymore

But I know I've messed up bad

That's for sure

I was the lure

Poison

And not the cure

Unless I helped not to be so insecure

But I can't right now

Because now I'm not here

 

Just to think what a year almost brought us

But to realize I was the one who really stopped us
