Wrote two today. The first I'm gonna put up, which is the second I wrote, is about me getting help (therapy) with my drug addiction and suicidal depression. The other is harder to explain, but maybe it's message is one that is better left to the reader to decipher, and it's a poem, not a lyric.

DECONSTRUCTION

Take it down

A lifetime spent building
Walls that, quite honestly, aren't stable
Don't even know how they stood so long
Doesn't matter really, 'cause I'm taking them down

Brick by brick
Even thought it may make me sick, so sick
I'm starting today
Deconstruction

A death sentence that I
Created for the crimes against myself
Don't know why I haven't gotten the chair
And I don't really care 'cause the prison's coming down

(Chorus)

A lifetime spent building
Walls without purpose after the first day
And pretending they'd hold the roof okay
But this structure without structure is caving in
Crushing all my posessions and friends
So it's time to tear it down before it tears me up

I'm taking you down

(Chorus)
