21 " I am a broken man Washed ashore in humanity’s Low tide Dislocated I feel no kinship with humans I do my best To forget myself "
― Henry Rollins , See A Grown Man Cry/Now Watch Him Die
22 " I don’t want to have to defend you to people who will talk shit I would do it though Always So take good care of yourself If you forget how Call me I’ll remind you "
23 " Strange stranger reaching out Grabbing hold in this mindless blindness I search and destroy for kindness That sits in my imagination’s mind Across a burning field Across a drenching jungle Strange stranger strangely as you go I’ve always never seen you But you’re the only one I know "
24 " Don’t touch me I’ll feel too good I’ll fall apart The only thing holding me together is my pain "
25 " look at the phone thinking about calling out there There’s no one to call Just voices Other worlds Sometimes I feel so thrown down So used up and vacant That I have to let time pass me by "
26 " You are the reason I don’t want to die all the time When I am with you life is worth living Time away from you is strange and full of pain When I look into your eyes I can see how life has savaged you It’s ok if you fall I will be there to catch you Anyone that would want to hurt you Would have to kill me to do it I will never be able to pound words into lines To match the velocity of your presence "
27 " Getting rid of you is a good thing, that’s why I don’t write you back I’m vomiting every memory from my system "
28 " I lie on my side I wonder how much pain and horror can be contained In one human mind I turn on the light All I can think about is going somewhere "
29 " Sometime later near dawn I fall asleep I get up and go out there Go through the motions Trying to look like someone Who’s alive Inside I’m screaming all the time Every day dealing with the many shades of horror There’s nothing anyone can say to me Nothing anyone can do "
30 " There will be no real life There will be the alcohol circus "
31 " You hide your fear and call it something else You’re addicted to all the things that make you weak "
32 " Stay away from people They’ll slow you down and break your heart "
33 " I wish I wasn’t alive as much as you are dead "
34 " Sleep is my escape. It gives me a break from the ceaseless self awareness that I choke on. "
35 " If I could I would melt into your arms I would fall like ten dead languages I would not front I would not lie to you I don’t think I could lie anymore I have grown too old for such youthful pursuits I want to love someone before I die Hurry It won’t be long now "
36 " Do you ever feel the need to go somewhere Forget everything so you can remember yourself? You get a good way down the road and then the phone rings Not tonight A night for nights Dried blood by the bus stop A car patching out in the parking lot of the market Where the hell could I go? No, I’m plugged in Hooked "
