Array ( [sid] => 66628 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => And I will hang for my convictions. [time] => 2004-10-08 17:10:18 [hometext] => A rant that became a song...it makes little sense, but it sounds awesome. [bodytext] => I can't stop writing this down
And it's running through my head on overdrive.
It's so cold here even though it's summer.
While I'm crawling in my skin and drowning in dispise.
All that I write I cannot read
And all that you speak I cannot hear.
Longing to scream the escape for my thoughts,

I'm a mess I'm a mess I'm a mess I'm a mess.

I need it so bad now,
You know that I can't stand it.
I want so much to bleed--
It's twisted and backwards.
But for what it's worth
(For what it's worth)
It keeps me alive.
Do you want to see me tomorrow?
I'm trying desperately not to cry
but I can't hold on
But I can't fall apart
(screamed: and I can't fall apart)

I'm a mess I'm a mess I'm a mess I'm a mess

This music is triggering but I refuse to turn it off.
Would you turn off your heart to make it stop beating
When it's broken in two and your bleeding?
I would.
I'll be just fine, pretending I'm not.

I'm a mess I'm a mess I'm a mess I'm a mess. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 196 [topic] => 34 [informant] => liquidchaos [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )

And I will hang for my convictions.
