It Shouldn't Be Like This

The gates of my heart are open

The emotions flood

The tears I am crying

Will soon turn to blood

My pain is ongoing

It shouldn't be this way

Not like this

This

Tell me, I've got to know

Are you the reason

For my sorrow?

It shouldn't be this way

My fault is woven deep

Into my dreams and fears

Slowly, painfully it creeps

Showing itself clear

Downcast and pounded

Maybe I'll survive

Hopefully the negative

Is not really alive

It shouldn't be like this.

Dropping slowly from the sky

The blackbird and it's friend

They're both dead because the help required

Had already come to an end

It's the fault of the third

The fourth, the fifth, the sixth

Should it be like this?

Not like this.

Sparkly foreheads

Leather toes

Make my blood pump strong

Continuing my woes

Exploding into neverland

That's the way it goes.

Desire takes things over

What's the goddamned point

Of destroying the things dear to you,

To tear apart the joint

That makes a person who they are

And makes the world go round?

I'm not where I should be

I think my job here's done

I'll climb into my little hole

And fly off to the sun.
