I've dug a hole of good intentions
my menagerie of compromise,
and I've lost myself beneath the surface
of all your hurt, abuse and lies.
I'd like to start this over,
try it all again.
paint myself good memories,
so I won't have to pretend.
You've got tomorrow to look forward to.
all I've got is another today,
I'm trying to fill your expectations,
and dig myself away.
Take apart the pieces, paint them different;
lady-like.
White out all the black spots,
the way you would've liked.
You don't care if it hurts me,
to tear my skin from bone.
rejecting my mentality,
for your happy home.
Is this what you wanted?
I dug myself a grave.
and all thats left of what I was.
is the resentment and the pain.
-- xx me
I'm not really feeling all THAT down,
just reminiscing I suppose.
