After the End

Written during sophomore year.

Eyes are broken framed glass

pictures of a melody.

I can’t feel the ocean

if it slips right over me.

Locked up in a cellar

and it seems to me,

you know I don’t belong here

I’m not that crazy.

 

Night falls and winter sets in,

locked up in skin and I just can’t listen.

Laugh a couple times it will all be okay,

until you break down and see you just can’t live this way.

 

(one, one, one, one two three four)

 

Five at a time and you can’t feel it,

just a little bit sick to the stomach, and

kill me once and never again.

Body shakes but you can’t feel it,

get me straight to what fate deserves, and

kill me once but never again.

 

Walls tone to grey

and eyes are on me.

Point me to the ocean

if you just so please.

Locked up in this cellar

and it seems to me,

maybe I belong here.

 

And it hit me

just like that,

you can see the colors

in the black stains on the wall.

And you know it’s

worth the fall,

if there’s people there to save you,

and you can save them.

 

You’re home again,

you’re home again,

you’re home again,

you’re home again.

 

(Five at a time and you can’t feel it,

just a little bit sick to the stomach, and

kill me once and never again)

 

Body shakes but you can’t feel it,

get me straight to what fate deserves, and

kill me once but never again.

 

Five at a time and you can’t feel it,

just a little bit sick to the stomach, and

kill me once and never again.

Body shakes but you can’t feel it,

get me straight to what fate deserves, and

kill me once but never again.

 

And it seems to me,

and it seems to me,

and it seems to me,

and it seems to me,

and it seems to me,

and it seems to me,

and it seems to me,

and it seems to me,

I’m not that crazy.

I thought it was well written there was one part that really spoke to me...

"Laugh a couple times it will all be okay, until you break down and see you just can’t live this way."

I loved it because I've been there a few times...I love the way that its worded. I think you did a great job.
