Grip,
11/20/03,
6:18 PM.
Day in, day out,
I keep it inside,
swallow my pride.
Every day of my life.
Well, my mouth is smaller than my mind
and I'm choking here, all right?
Time to spit it out again.
I need to build a life I want to live in.
Take my hand. Will you help me begin
to find my heart and soul and wide Chesire grin?
I need bigger gaps between
my bitter and sour, and feedback to know
I'm making it
hour by hour
I got a trick up my sleeve,
but my cuffs are too tight.
Give me a treat and tell me
it'll all be all right
so I can breath again
so I can find my way back in
to the life I stopped living
on my way down a grave
that left me falling.
I got a grip now,
help me climb.
I can hear you,
but I'm still blind.
My head is caught in inhale.
My heart is in exile.
A madman stole my spine.
Help me get back all that's mine
and I'll give back to the world all I ever stole.
Nobody deserves to be incomplete and we're never alone.
I just want to go home.
I only want to be whole again.
I just want to be my Self again.
Can't you take my hand,
guide me in?
Aren't you still my friend?
