Choices

Broken brain with so little desire
Thoughts racing like a wildfire
Rumblings, rumblings, through my chest
Feel so worn out, really need some rest
I am scared and uncertain
Afraid to move ahead
Don't know what I'm saying
Don't know what I've said
I've got choices to make
And a big case of dread

Who Knew

I'm not a nice guy
I growl and I snarl
I'm not a nice guy
Though I think that I try
I'm not a nice guy
My heart it aches
My soul it bleeds
I'm reminded of my failures
I'm reminded that I am
Responsible for  
The failure of dreams
Still not certain why
I'm not a nice guy
I rain on parades
I'm not a nice guy
Though I'd like to change
Maybe a touch of normalcy
Before I finish
And get on that train
I'm not a nice guy

Running

Inadequate
Doesn't quite measure up
Bottom Shelf
Back room
Out of date
Useless

You could have
You should have
You might have

Beaten and worn and I feel like hell
I hope this look doesn't have a smell
Everything is backwards
Everything is wrong
Days are running into nights
Nights are running so very long

The negative comments
Are so frequent
The are so damaging
I cannot recover quick enough
Each time
Is like another
Another lash of a whip
I am bleeding
Profusely

Always, Again

I'm mean and sharp
Like broken glass
I'm full of hate 
And I've got no class
Rude and foul
Nasty and crass
I believe I'm a royal pain in the ass
Don't like the demon that lives in my soul
It takes an extreme exacting toll
Want to run and hide
Hang my head in shame
All the while I'm looking to blame
Someone, someone, anyone but me
I look in my soul and what do I see
An evil motherfucker looking back at me
Been haunting me for years
I can't run away
I can't run away
I can't run away

Caught

Waves of emotion
Come over me
Completely out of the blue
Heart starts racing and thumping
Nothing that I can do
Caught in a relentless storm
No shelter to be found
Lightening is striking
Dark heavy Sky's
Crashing down all around
Frozen by fear
Can't move or I'll fall
Wondering why
Why it happened at all

Troubled

Mean and nasty, so full of hate
I have to rush, I can't be late
I'm a rotten example 
A pain in the ass
I'm thoughtless and selfish
I have no class
I get as mad as a chainsaw
At the drop of a hat
Cannot control it
That's where I'm at
Mean and nasty, so full of hate
I wonder.........
What it is like to be kind and thoughtful
Pleasant to be around
I wonder........

Out of Tune

I'm stuck in a song where I don't belong
Like an out of place note
Got a hole in my tote
Got a hair on my nose
Don't know how to pose
Stuck in a song where I don't belong
Out of tune or out of touch
Don't seem like it takes to much
To sing the wrong song
An hour or a day
Possibly two if you may
But I'm gonna sing out of tune
In a song where I don't belong
