Torn And Tattered

This happens a lot. I have a wave of inspiration to write. So I may not write anything narrative for a bit, but just post lyrics. I have ideas for lyrics, titles, and messages that they will portray. I think they are a lot better than the stuff I used to write. I feel as though I have broken though to anotehr side of writing I had been trying to find for a while, and have finally established my footings. Only good stuff to come..

“Torn and Tattered”
I lie awake still shaking,
As a cold sweat drips down my face
I thought I saw you beside me
Like a ghostly image that wasn’t there
Still chasing down the fragments of my life
But we’re both still far behind

Take me, take me
So far away from here
Save me, same me
I just can’t be left alone

We are the ones torn and tattered
We can’t watch this slip away
We still stand, broken and shattered,
We can’t just lets us slip away

All the mistakes we’re making
Leads us right back to our disgrace
Like a refugee we will flee
Even though we know we’re beyond repair
Words we say we sometimes don’t really mean
It’s just a hole that we dig

Take me, take me
So far away from here
Save me, same me
I just can’t be left alone

We are the ones torn and tattered
We can’t watch this slip away
We still stand, broken and shattered,
We can’t just lets us slip away

Gonna follow my own dreams
And lead my own life
Leaving the past behind me

Can’t sit here and waste my time
On the ones still drifting
I’m leaving all this shit behind

Take me, take me
So far away from here
Save me, same me
I think I just found my way

We are the ones torn and tattered
We can’t watch this slip away
We still stand, broken and shattered,
We can’t just lets us slip away
