Tired of Myself and What I Am

by Josh Hopper   Jan 25, 2008


From the flames of my destruction,
the truth is realized, brought forth by emotion,
don't hold back my secrets true.
I can't take this, my body is burning.

Tonight, my last time waiting,
tossing and turning, too much thinking,
it's taking over me, taking control,
I have nothing left of my fragile soul.

I know, you know this, I miss,
I know, I know, I know too much,
miserable in fact, of knowing this,
take it back take it back, take it back my wish.

God's too subtle to help out with this,
I'll hold out if I can, I'm the man I cannot handle.
My body is melting away, just wait and see,
I'm cutting myself to sleep.

I spent an hour reading over what we could've been,
another hour trying to fill myself in,
I'm smarter than I once was and won't fall for it again.
I let it take control and now It's finished.

SO MUCH EMOTION TO HANDLE AT ONCE,
IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO FINISH THIS?
I CAN'T BREATHE I CANNOT SEE,
GET THESE THOUGHTS I'M HAVING AWAY FROM ME!

It's too late too soon, so much to ruin,
I just want to lay down, you have me where you want me,
crash and burn with so much pain to endure,
just wait and see, wait and see, wait and see.

What's become of my disposition,
myself I knew and my indifference,
oh but it's only a habit I refuse to toss,
my fault in the end, I paid the cost.

I'm the one who's feeling lost,
thicker than blood running down my chin,
thicker than the steel I'm trying to bend,
i let it take control, time is taking it's toll.

You can't here my screams I imply,
you can't figure out the things I say and why,
you're as lost as I am in myself,
and there's nothing I can do tonight.

It's the flames of my destruction,
and the ashes they left behind,
I'm sorry it took so long to understand,
all the things that went through my mind.

Oh if only, oh if only, I didn't feel this way,
I might be able to find myself again.
but the way things are going and how they went,
I'm tired of myself and the way I am.
