Learn To Read

Do you expect lyrics to soothe you as you rest your eyes at night?
Does the constant thought of not being up to par, scare you from dreaming?
While you are conflicting with yourself, I read a great deal of controversy.
You know that I know, but you still stubbornly refuse;

If stubbornness has duration, then I hope I live to see it end.
Stop piddling into your own self inflicted pain; it's getting on my last nerve.
Let fear control you, if it helps you sleep better at night;
I'm unaware of the accusations your friends or your mind has thought up.

Either face my honesty, or drown in uncertainty;
Do you understand that I'd still give my life for you?
Does it #$%@ process in your dwindling mind, or have we lost you completely?
My best guess, is that you don't; or won't.

If I could walk forward knowing you'd be happy, my heart could be pacified.
But, you suffocate on your own issues; I'm not keeping your head pushed down.
It's all you; I cannot offer a helping hand, to a person that will pull me in too.
Knowing you, as well as I do, you don't even believe a damn word.

How hard do I have to push, how much do I need to fight; just to secure your happiness?
At this point in this paper, I'm unclear if I am your friend or foe;
Pain and anger, corrupt my intentions, but when that's disregard, I only aim for happiness.
Not the target you painted in the back of your head.

I'm curious, how many lies you had to tell in order for people to see your point,
to sympathize, how much of honest guy, could be so dishonest.
There's no protection for either of us burning bridges;
but then again I'm not the one with my head under water.

I'd give anything to laugh again;
but there's no humor in this suffering
Wake up; because, it gets cold some days.
option two was always better fit, for you and me.
