Standing on this bridge with nothing but the
Faded photographs and pretty little lies
You handed me so thoughtfully
With a smile I thought would last somehow
And the days drag on more slowly
Than ever before when I used to know
What time it was and where I’m at
Now that the fog rolled in I can’t see
The road ahead, guess I looked to far
To know where I was going
But now I dig through my things
I got my mask again
To hide the broken soul inside so maybe
People won’t see the pain and just
Smile at me and wave just like before
So now, I throw the photos out
Into the air so wistfully
Crumple up the lies, and I wanna lock them up
Inside my heart, but there they’ll rot
So I take the crumbled pieces of my dreams
Mix them in with those lies
Strain them through my fingers till
The oceans of those tears I cried are gone
And now I sit here, thinking
When will the pain finally go away?
Is it true that time heals all wounds?
Cause I’m still bleeding, even though
The cut had been there from the start
Crimson puddles at my feet and
I just can’t do anything anymore
So I’ll sit here on my bridge
Watch as people pass along
Smile and wave, and cover up my scars
Make sure that mask is on nice and tight
To keep my tears from spilling out
Till maybe I’ll get sick of it
Glancing over the edge, a long drop down
If I’m lucky I will grow some wings
But luck had never really been my thing so
As I drop I’ll smile cause its what he wanted
Don’t try to catch me, cause its just too late
Just too late…

- I had written this as a reaction to an event in my life. So yeah, something did happen.

- Ever so true...did something happen to make you write this...? or did you write it out of boredom or impulse...?
