unhinged i wish i could do this some other way
more private
but i can only hope you'll see this
the breathing machines
cut loose
i've got my own thin threads
holding me up
i run away from the people that love me
i've done my fair share of scary shit
to the people that know me well
sometimes i can't bear to get out of bed
and hearing their voices
only makes it worse
i don't want to disappoint anyone
i disappoint myself everyday
i don't want to hurt anyone
yeah, i take it all out on me
i wish i could do this some other way
i wish i was still there for you
because sitting next to you
helped me stay there for myself
when i left town
i didn't want to leave you behind
just something i had to do dear
i wish i was still there for you
i can't ask you to come to me
when i carry it all on my own

see
i'm more like you than you probably know
that's why i used to call every so often
let you know i still care
when my phone was sitting silent
and i wanted more than anything
to hear one voice that cared
remember that book someone wrote for you?
a lame attempt to show you
what i didn't have the heart to say
i've got the same button
the one that i push
to spite myself
to self_destruct
i can't stay sober long myself
because looking in the mirror
makes me remember all that shit i'd rather forget
looking at you
sitting with you
helped me remember all that shit i'd rather forget
you meant more than you could ever understand to me
more than i meant to myself
i wish i was still there
to buy you coffee and cigarettes
feed you the only meal
i know you'll eat all day
to keep my heart alive

see
i'm more like you than you probably know
and deep down
when i'm pushing everyone away
i wish that just one of them
would fight me
and stay

unhinged i can see us clearly now. there was so much suffering and delusion around us, the whole thing was confusing for awhile, but i get it now. i can let go of all the shit now. but you irrevocably changed me in so many fundamental aspects and i still have this intense feeling of thanks toward you for it. harrisburg really was a beautiful ending to our story. 080508
