Bad Blood

What is this inside me?
Questions, questions, questions!
I don't know what it means to be alive
Ask the sky to rain and the sun shines
Every word spoken feels blasphemes
Dirty and unclean I've come back to my own vomit
Just a dog is what the undertone implies
Best friend to no man
My worth is not seen in the eyes of others
I make the rules
Don't get it twisted
I make the decisions
I've forgotten how to write and what it means to fly
The characters have died
Buried under mounds for some time now
All it means is that I will never be fit for a king
Use me, use me, but there is nothing worth doing
Make me good at one thing and I'll be god in my own mind
And maybe that is exactly why,
Perhaps this is why the words look better on the other side
I don't know a thing and yet my mind is full
Ask away and out comes the outcome
Situated in the dark I'm still seated in a place I don't like
Like the boiling blood turned cold
The change brought brings on flies in temperature loss
Swarming to the stinking festering mess
A disease takes root at the base of my mind
I might pull through this night and back into the day
By God the car has stopped and the image out the window fades
Pitch black and I'm back to the same old crap
I try to take it in and find the sign
Once I wanted to be something but I don't remember when
No one told me anything so now I'll tell myself
I can do it oh yes I can
But all that's left are dreams that I've left behind
Give it a second and try but there is no try only do
Yet the basket is so full of nothing I can't begin to pick it up
How do you see in the silence a life that is not collapsed under boredom?
There is no reason to be concerned
The strife isn't with you it is with myself
Fighting a battle while you are missing your eyes
That's what it's like when you live life hating yourself
So I'll keep seeking and I'll keep asking
But the winding road of mortal man has just become flat
