The ups and downs

I am not sure how I am supposed to react to all of this

It's all so

So-so



Draining the courage out of me

If I can't make it work with this

Then what

When



The happiness is happier

The amazement more amazing

It's nice

Pleasing



The bottom is getting closer

The top is nearer, too

Everything seems

Simpler



The extremes still exist

There can still be wonder

In your eyes

I fall



When I'm alone

When the pressure builds

It's not the same

I fall apart



Level-headed

The thoughts are more processed

It's a little more

Atypical



Turn around and see me

It's going to be a fantastic journey if the story doesn't end

It could

Continue



The circle doesn't end

It always happens this way, doesn't it?

It just

Disappears

..oOo..

I couldn't find you anywhere

You weren't in the car

I was going to check the closet, but instead, I checked the bar.



At the bottom of a pint glass

In a shot heard round the world

I found you waiting patiently for your favorite little girl.



You tilted your head to the side

And you told me I was late

You pulled me close and kissed me, so sad you had to wait.



I couldn't find you anywhere

But I found you in my head

I stumbled home and found you when I fell into my bed.



You're never around when I need you

You're always somewhere else

But I always seem to find you when I'm drinking by myself.



You tell me that I'm perfect

You tell me you'll stay over

It never seems to happen, though, if I'm completely sober.



I couldn't find you anywhere

You were nowhere to be seen

I closed my eyes and fell asleep and found you in my dreams.



The pretty little colors

All the pictures passing by

I'll keep you here forever now, always in my mind.



You're perfect now inside of me

I'll keep you there, I think

If I lose you again I know where to find you - at the bottom of a drink.


..oOo..


Not ever will it change, you know

Not ever will it fade

Not ever will it go away

Forever it remains



The stick in me that sticks in you

It sticks and sticks some more

And not a word I speak of it

But stick it would, I swore



To stand by you or stand without

Your stand will stand, it's clear

But standing here, I stand alone

And stand to face my tears



A loser's lot is lots, you see

And lost the lots have been

I've lost the lot as loser's do

More losing to be seen



Your heart has turned away from me

Your turn to turn to dust

The turning point is now for this

As turning back's a bust



Everything will change, you know

Everything will fade

Everything will go away

Until nothing still remains
