 Absent Minded

I'm not alone


I'll never give up
crawl to the top
just so you'll notice me
slap my face
spit in my eye
and fall down
to pick myself up

Some other dogma
my how the angels have left me now
where are the hounds of hell
but by my side
howling at the sound of shrapnel
falling from such heights
to shatter my soul
falling from such heights
to let you know
I'm drowning in myself
Falling from such heights
to see myself
falling from such heights
to let you know
I'm fooling myself

I'll never give up
crawl from the filth
an your broken wing
scream in the echoes of your pity
to see the tears stream your face
split my lip, throw a fit, and fall down
to pick myself up
I'm not alone here
on my knees in the dirt
besides myself screaming
rubbing my wounds with salt
feeling the hurt

I'm not alone here
on my feet in the cold
on the street believing dreams
freeing myself from years ago
I'm not alone.  No.

I'll never give up
crawl to the top
for you to notice me
scream a prayer
fill you up
I'll never give up
spit in my eye
kiss the sky
wonder why
you look away
not today
It's not over
I'm not alone.  No
I'm not alone
