"Sometimes things fall apart so that better things can fall together."--Marilyn Monroe


I'm stuck in a nightmare,

Trapped outside of reality.

It's something I can't bear,

Slowing down my vitality.

 

I want to stay quiet,

So I resort to my phone.

My emotions are like a riot;

They're so out of control.

 

A drop falls down my cheek.

Oh God, you must think I'm so weak.

Like a petal falling of a flower,

That's me;

I'm losing all my power.

 

What makes me inferior?

What makes you superior?

I know these are figments in my mind.

"Don't pretend you are blind."

You're making it hard to breathe

As a fire ignites within me.

Your sparkling eyes clearly visualize my life

As a bottle shatters deep inside.

My heart is becoming so bruised

As you're making me so confused.

 

I'm looking at you.

You got me so mesmerized.

You're so intoxicating

Like a bottle of wine.

 

So bitter but sweet, 

You make me feel complete,

But I know deep inside

That I'm drowning under your riptide.

 

My heart's beating so fast.

Oh God, the future seems so vast.

Cannot run, cannot hide...

All I can say is that I tried.

 

What makes you so hard to please?

What makes me such a disease?

I know these are figments in my mind.

"Don't pretend you are blind."

You're making it hard to breathe

As a fire ignites within me.

Your sparkling eyes clearly visualize my life

As a bottle shatters deep inside.

My heart is becoming so bruised

As you're making me so confused.

 

I'm starting to feel like a hollow bone:

So fragile and easy to break.

Also feeling so alone

Without your toxic embrace.

You're consuming my soul.

Please take back what you stole.

 

What makes me inferior?

What makes you superior?

I know these are figments in my mind.

"Don't pretend you are blind."

You're making it hard to breathe

As a fire ignites within me.

Your sparkling eyes clearly visualize my life

As a bottle shatters deep inside.

My heart is becoming so bruised

As you're making me so confused.


The author's comments:

This is one of the many songs I have written as I sat by my piano, finding chords and singing a melody to these lyrics. Songwriting is my outlet to pour out my emotions using words. It is one of my favorite songs I have written, and I continue to create more that I cherish deeply.
