Burn Notice

i wasn't ignoring you

just wasn't answering your calls

then i checked myself

to see what you’d taken

i can't trust myself enough

to tone down the emotions

to a level that is less than dull enthusiasm

that is acceptable by you

everything hurts

it burns from the outside in

everything is numb

it burns from the inside out

i feel the nothing

in everything i feel

it's all so fucking fake

and all too fucking real

i have a legion of thoughts

yet i cannot think

no connections

no link

and right on the tip of my tongue

are the words i do not wish to speak

i swallow them

as i swallow my pride

and both stick in my throat

this is not my imagination

this is not a dream

this isn't a cry for help

this is a fucking scream

you've stolen my dreams

taken the light

you've thrown me to the darkness

to the wolves, the cold and the night

i wasn't ignoring you

just needed more time

for you to see

what's right

it wasn't me

that started this thing

but it has to be you

that ends it

it hurts me as i do this

but you have to understand

you didn’t think i’d work it out

and that wasn't part of your plan
