With a Heavy Heart and a Mind on Fire.

Another sad song.

Another melody about lost love and a broken dream.

 

You've got it easy pal. You get paid to vent.

Me? I carry my struggle with me.

 

They travel with me, hiding behind the smiles.

Mile after mile after endless fucking mile.

And trust me, every mile comes with it's price.

 

The taxes were simple enough at first.

A nights sleep here, and stressful  day there.

 

It wasn't until friends and the notion of love stepped in that the tariff skyrocketed.

That which was once harmless had begun taking shape.

And these forms greeted me with talons and teeth.

 

The feeling that followed was...interesting to say the least.

I was on fire and was frozen alive at the same time.

Being torn apart and put back together over and over again.

 

It was slow. It was quick.

It was like the universe imploding into a flurry of deafening sounds, all the while smothering me in crippling silence.

 

Where can I offload this extra baggage?

Can't I just strip these burdens away?
