knees and corners
i sit in the corner
 my knees to my face
 with nothing but my thoughts to entertain
 the air runs thick and still
 my mind lacks perception
 my heart lacks the thrill
 your face lacks good looks
 and your lies lack good skill
 i hurt with a deep wound
 merely nothing to the surface
 but deadly inside
 they tell me its all just apart of the ride
 buckle yourself and pull down the bar
 "you wont get anywhere, kid
 you'll never go far
 your nothing, your no one"
 and i sit in the corner
 my knees to my face
 just a prediciton
 and just a waste of space
 lies, deception, hurt, tears
 pain, people, scum bags, fears
 confidence, none, wish you had, someone
 somebody you knew was real
 someone you could believe in
 without question
 to love, to hold, to know, to be
 to guide when you cant see
 to be sad but return happy
 someone, someday, somewhere,somehow
 well all that, how about now?
 as i sit in the corner, 
 my knees to my face
 i think about these things
 flying around in my head
 like no one invented time
 but i have all of that in the world
 nothing but
 and my heart starts to decay
 as the truth lay
 right infront of me like its on display
 signs of irony pop up on the walls
 on the streets, in the house, in the halls
 in my life
 my questions float in the air
 around for someone to grab
 with a knife in my hand
 when the answer comes, im ready to stab 
 im ready now, i need
 hell, now im ready to plead
 just show me some light
 tell me its alright
 show me its worth it
 so ill live tonight
 i dont ask alot
 i dont speak enough to ask
 stop feeding me drugs, liquor, hate, and broken glass
 dont show me my skin and tell me theres no risk
 my eyes shut tight, and i close my fist
 my knuckles turn nearly white
 as water drips slowly from my eyes
 it burns with the lack of emotion
 you both cause me so much 
 but all i feel is numb
 somehing without a point is dumb
 so why do we live?
 why do we suffer and try to make amends
 why do we pretend theres meaning
 behind every little molecule
 why do we ignore the society thats so cruel
 and the human race with no mercy
 we are small in comparison
 and think like were big
 well shut the hell up
 cause really we're all just pigs
 rolling around in our own filth
 of what we think is real
 waiting for someone to feed us our next meal
 thats not how it should be
 there's cracks in the system
 with no one to fix 'em
 so i sit in the corner
 knees to my face
 feeling my heart
 loosi.g a steady pace
 will i die or will i survive
 will anyone care
 or just be obligated to cry
 what will i be remembered for?
 if anything at all
 who will follow me and be the next to fall
 these thoughts pass by
 as i sit in the corner
 knees to my face
 im dying, im decaying
 im crying, im slaying every litte piece of me thats left
 and baby, i think you've accomplished
 the greatest grand theft 
 you took my heart
 stole it from my chest
 it was ok, then slowly, you took it apart
 piece by piece
 agonizing pain
 i thought you were different
 i thought everyone had changed
 as the world spun a different direction
 i thought you were only perfection
 with no flaws
 i thought you were kind
 with no hidden claws
 but i sit in the corner
 knees to my face
 just a perdiction
 but you i miss perdicted
 something clicked inside
 i thought that was good
 i thought that was right
 but really, it was the switch to everything
 you shut it down
 and now im just in for the ride
 hoping for a tsunami
 a giant tide to just wash everything away
 so i can believe everything we say
 i now have my perdictions
 as i just hope
 please prove me wrong
 so i can someday sing you that song
