lyrics
By Brian R. Strauss
The Worst Guy Ever Made
I feel so nervous all the time
My hearts become a withered wound
Calloused, abused, and morose now
Hid yourself between the eyes of
Anyone who would have you
Kissing your reflection, a bruise on your ego
Its new to you, a bitter disappointment
Arms outstretched, looking for someone
Spending time, always alone
Watching the folds of flesh imprint
the days of your living
Carved out a story for evenings spent underneath moonlight
Blanket of fog and
A dull hum emanates from the room where you'll lay solitary,
impulse control has failed
Kissed every bottle you met like it
would be the last time.
A bitter disappointment.
Take your arms, close them around me
Told yourself, somehow you'd change
The moment is gone now we're
Missed every birthday, for parties
Surrounded by strangers
Took to the hubris of time scrubbing
Memory clean
Woke every morning to someone who
Wasn't quite there
Kissed on the lips of strangers
Hoping for someone, always disappointed
Weightlessly drifting away, from you
You're so much, better than this, she'd say to me
You always viewed life through a looking glass,
or maybe just a glencairn
While you were dreaming you realized
They've been gone now, all of them for some time and
Your canvas was time, but now the glass is empty
And your body begins to fail
Now comes the time where the feeling of hope is gone, a bitter disappointment
I'm still here, hoping for something more
Constantly trying to capture,
The moment that's gone now we’re
Somehow in your mind, you thought you'd change
