Keep it together

That devil comes on slowly

Like a single glass of wine

And that Angel on my shoulder

Doesnt even seem to mind

I cant keep it all together

Or at least that’s what they say

What the hell do they know

They’re both drunk anyway

But if it isn’t them then

It’s the ghosts that haunt my path

They rip themselves right through me

Tearing at my broken past

All the time spent asking

If they were ever even there

What was it now that mattered

Did I even ever care

And at times Ive often wondered

Just who the hell are you

How did you get to be

A little voice inside of me too

You cannot be a ghost yet

So then are you a god?

Or something else completely

Sent to pull me from this fraud

Because I used to hear a choir

From somewhere inside my heart

Now the deep and pulsing silence

Deafens all I try to start

I lost my heart to anger

I lost my mind to time

I’ve given all the soul I’ve had

I’ve given my whole life

Im not sure what I’m getting at

Or what I’m trying to say

I guess I’m just tired of always feeling in the way

Im falling from the only places that I’ve known

Ive fallen from the heavens

I’ve fallen from my home
