All For Naught

"And as he exhaled his first hit of crack-cocaine, he felt his childhood and innocence escaping alongside the narcotic vapours."

All these bits of paper, half words and whole truths
They ain't got nothing on what I had when I had you
All of my life, I thought I knew
I'm just now seeing, none of that was ever true

I'm hoping you're still inside
My mind and body have cried
Out to the woods but there's still no sign of you.
I can't find my sanity
So, I called in a search party
But they just showed up
With their torches and pitchforks held high
I'm just a kid in a mask
Drinking from a little black flask
What to do, what can I do

My mind's a projector
And my eyes are the screen
But I lost some pieces
I don't know what this movie means
I'm watching it closely
The cuts are all clean
It starts to get hazy
I feel like my life's been a dream

This boxer's got knobby knees
His cheap shots are killing me
I might have a chance
If I could just find those damn referees
I'm gonna get beat down fast
But I know the pain won't last
It's coming in waves
I'll wait for the full moon to pass
I'm just like a cigarette
I won't burn if I start to get wet
What to do, what can I do

I was putting this book back together
My thoughts were getting better, I was sure
I though I had my eyes closed to the weather
I tried not to let those nightmares beat me anymore
No, no, no more
Not anymore
