Unstable
Kelley Davies 1983 (Dallas)
The attention people give me is strained
The emotions I have are misunderstood even by myself
I feel distance in people's voices
And I feel so alone
On the other side of reality, in another life, with another lifetime
It seems like no one could understand
How could they when I don't even understand myself
Maybe I'm just being dramatic, like a teenage girl who is left unattended at her birthday party
My life so often is dissolving into long and lonely tears
It feels so empty, useless, meaningless
Like why should I keep going?
The only answer I can come up with is my mother
She loves me so much, and I couldn't abandon her
I miss Chester Bennington
I wish I knew Jesus
I miss Chris Cornell
People who gave me hope
I don't belong here
I shouldn't be here anymore
