A Way With Words! a way with words or a way with words i wish i could remember so i'll sit and grip and bite my lip i won't die by my temper i've got no interest in being like that, does that make me bad? we're all different as i'm always told but why do i feel so belittled when these people come within earshot it's because i know what you're thinking isn't it? i don’t need a mountain to climb my intelligence rises so i’m staying put on the ground to mull on what I’ve found and not let my pretences shine

Remember The Stops Anger isn't always righteous Sometimes it's about gut reactions And they aren't always right It's about an understanding Despite what you might think That even strong opinions can never be the truth Listen closely and you'll hear it Words you always knew It's not conviction, it's a grudge So let it go It's a learning curve And you'll learn one day That it's not always about you It's NOT always about you Is this really what you wanted? Summing up to nothing but words and noises? Is that all there is? It's time you came to terms with a universal truth: You can't make people listen when you can't convince yourself

Crushed By The Heels Of Simplicity it kind of sums it up, do what you want, please don’t take on board what anyone else wants or feels. is it worth it ? just for a quick thrill that you’ll hardly remember and which could ruin what other people have strived for for a long time ? i’ve been crushed by the heels of simplicity. it’s almost like i knew it was going to happen. i bought this book for that reason and i can’t believe it happened right under my nose. i didn’t imagine it did i ? it was very blatant and i’m pretty astute so i doubt it somehow. oh shit.

Strength In Depth my friend stands too close to you. i can now see what other people see and i’m ashamed to say that i know you when you can’t see it. unbelievable. how can you take the piss out of other people who act like that when you’re no better than them. how can these things mean nothing to you ? why do you do it if it means nothing to you ? watching people absorb each others personalities is sickening. whatever happened to people being strong and standing up for individuality ? just because you’ve got a luggage tag, doesn’t mean you’ve experienced life, it just means you’ve visited somewhere, it doesn’t make you look like you’re actually going anywhere.

Sublime 04:13
Sublime i used to be able to suppress my depression but now there’s no-one to suppress it for. everyone has their own life. be it troubled, or not. now i know what it feels like to be the kind of person i always hated and belittled. i can’t go out every night of the week, i can’t stay at home warm and dry. i’ve nowhere to go. where’s it going to end all this if i can’t leave the house ? from the life and soul of a raging party to the timidity of a mouse i honestly thought it was getting better and that i was too but here i am again dreading the thing i purportedly love the most and hurting the people i love the most because i cannot rest. what do i become if i’m not me, half a person ? someone who can love and be loved in return ? shall i try it?

My Influence 01:58
My Influence i was the one who told you so your lifestyle changed, so there you go ! my influence is clear i prosper where you fear i am not the answer to everything that you hold dear but my influence is clear the drop’s becoming too sheer it’s my influence, don’t dictate ! pour the soul out for me the living life’s a drain and i just cannot glean i bear the things that hurt too much it’s not something that i can trust ‘cos my influence is clear i will ponder as i leer

A Quiet Dignity A quiet dignity? It's nothing to be proud of Silence, crushed by anxious thoughts It could never hope to stem the blood flow So what's the point in holding back When things are better than I thought they'd ever be? I won't apologise for being juvenile I won't apologise again I won't back down, it's not my scene I won't compromise or trade my ideals I won't bite my tongue when I can scream I won't back down A quiet dignity? Nothing could be further from the truth I can't pretend, can't lie and say I don't enjoy this So don't forget that it's your fault You were the one who fucked things up It's schadenfreude: childish, but also far too easy I won't apologise for being immature, I won't apologise again A quiet dignity? I am proud and I can't hide it This is what I've waited for I love it and I won't deny it

Let's Get Worse I used to pride myself on the power of my will Now i waste time embracing things i know i hate Let's get worse, abandon stature It used to be in pride of place But i can't hide, I've gone too far to dream of saving face I guess i'm desperate to impress I know i lie, i know i cheat I stole this life it's my conceit Stoically, i'm bound, To take the strain not fall to pieces I can't When I'm to blame for how you feel As if a thousand hangovers could ever put me off my drink Deny my guilt, they're my mistakes and they're mine to make

A Choice You Make Reactions are a choice you make I think I'll choose to laugh this time I'm pretty good at ignoring naysayers; I've been doing it most of my life I won't predict the future, that would be presumption Something you don't seem to have a major problem with I'll do my best for those I love, but Fucked if I'll define my life by other people's needs anymore Happiness is a choice you make It's my right to say yes I wish you let that shit go too; It's easier than you might think I respect opinions but I have to hear them first Come that day it's down to you: till then, I'll always be around

Artist’s Impression it’s been 9 months since i wrote that list and despite everything i wrote on it, i’m still drinking heavily, surrounding myself with possessions that i think i need, but don’t really, and still treating people badly without any remorse and with disregard for feelings. what’s the matter with me ? you either want to do it or you don’t. people say you should play to your strengths but how can i when people won’t let me ? everything was going too well, wasn’t it ? but in the blink of an eye it’s all turned round. it’s my own fault but i don’t actually know which way to turn now. people don’t understand. they invariably don’t get it. i hate this and i’m really not happy with myself for being like this.

Anthem 04:40
Anthem I've been hanging round for years Lack of ambition has saved me from my fears All my life, i've been inclined to think i'm fine, when i've been faulty all along I'll hide myself away and try not to relate; it only makes things harder to forsake This is our anthem, our melancholic call to arms We'll sing through hard times this is the soundtrack to our lives So i'll wait around for you Seems hesitating is all that I can do I'll wait in line We're too busy killing time; anticipating finer lives To jeopardise a heart on such slim chance of bliss is more than i could bare (sic)

This Livens Up The Day i’m doing now exactly what a certain someone used to do a long time ago which a lot of people really used to have a problem with. so, if what i’m doing now causes you as much grief as i used to suffer at that time then i am so so sorry. i cannot see any other way through this precious existence. i’m on show. i’m not worthy but i understand. i do.
