I'm a dedicated singer/songwriter/music student. I'm an Unfinished Artist. I can't wait until I can get away from my day job long enough to write and record like I'd like to.
I woke up after seven and I
rolled myself up out of bed
I washed my face and put on clothes
I thought would get me somewhere
I walked onto the street and got
onto the bus that takes me where
I need to go, but it broke down
and left me waiting
Girl who looked at me turned her eyes away as soon as they met mine
I watched her looking down, then out the window I saw a car on fire
I know I'm not a handsome man
but I still draw looks now and then
I don't know what they're thinking
if it's good or if it's pity
But I've got my health, I've got my necessaries
and somewhere to live
I'd rather have that than what some men
wanted by the women have
Stab me in the face and turn the knife
leaving nothing behind
start to saw my arms right off
and take as much blood as you can
Stab me in the heart and stop it
if I can't keep going on
It's not that I want to die
it's that I can't live on
You may not see how one thing leads to the other logically
But no one has to understand, it's not resolution I seek
I'm just saying, I'm just telling you what happened here today
It happened to me when I woke up, happened when my mind went grey
I walked into a store to find a basket for some things I'd buy
to give to someone who can't get out of giving to me but tries
If you think I'll remember this story so I can tell you again
I hope you wrote it down cuz that's what friends are for and I need friends
Stab me in the face and turn the knife
leaving nothing behind
start to saw my arms right off
and take as much blood as you can
Stab me in the heart and stop it
if I can't keep going on
It's not that I want to die
it's that I can't live on
