i've never been

fourth in a series

Goodbye to sleep

I think this is exactly what I need

take a part in my undoing

take apart my feeling like moving

and the worst of me it has proven

I can't shake this little feeling...

Goodbye friendly heart

I’ll stop you from slaving

take a hand in my salvation

take my hand; we’ll wait for the sacrifice

we’ll chew it all and swallow it

I can't shake this little feeling...

Goodbye to love

I sipped from the cup, but I didn’t taste anything

I wish I could inspire, take it from me

I wish I could believe me, take it from me

I’m the last person you should trust (with things like love)

I can't shake this little feeling...

Take me to the end, my favorite little knife

let me be free from being wrong--

let me be free from life

I just can't do it anymore...

I am cutting cold turkey, going out on a limb

one by one, I got them down to the hair

now the blood is letting, letting me pretend;

I love you so much, I couldn’t wait for a chance

I love you so much, I didn’t make it to last

the dream is dead-- the dream is dying

I...

I fell asleep in an ambulance

I can’t shake this little feeling

Of never doing anything right

I fell asleep in the ambulance...

You gotta take me back to your bed

I hurt so much, I stay awake

I hurt so much, I keep away

You're my favorite little bird, please stay with me--

the dream has died

but you can keep me up for a while...

I won’t mind

Author's Note

This is the fourth in a series of poems that are inspired by the album "The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me", by Brand New. It is one of my favorites, and it has a lot of personal worth to me. That album has helped me get through so much. These obviously pale in comparison, but they are meant as just a way to express myself and to be inspired by the music. I hope you all adore them!

This is really good and Brand New would approve. Keep writing!

[Sofia Guerra]

thank you so much! i don't think these poems are even close to being as good as the music that inspired them, but it's comforting to think so :3
