Not The Pilot Poems

i met a million dollar baby in a five and ten cent store
it left me for Miami, what does the world take me for?
i know, i'm no golden-winged angel dropped from the air
but i could do without the constant happiness then despair
...

your burdens are murderers, liars, and thieves
and i'm an accomplise to everything they need
i've become that person, that even i run from
the world and i, are scoping out slaughters
...

this memory would have made a nice tattoo
but i decided it'd be better off as a song for you
who knew, that night, would lead to this
right now, would be, a good time for a second chance
...

i think i'll never go back again
i'll stay away from these places
i'll never see these faces
that i've come to know so well
...

These tears don't mean anything anymore
I try so hard but they just keep coming back
I don't always do whats best
But i'll learn from my mistakes
...

This is a time for lost causes
I can't change your mind
My chest is shattered into pieces
To an extreme of a different kind
...

Telling you goodbye,
Is like breathing underwater
Just the thought of you not being there
Makes it just that much harder
...

do you see, what you're bringing to the table for me?
i'm not sure if i can handle everything
this is the part, where you're throwing out names
and i'm sorry darling, but you'll remain the one to blame
...

this ship goes out to sea
if you were my captain, oh captain
i'd throw you overboard
and in the midst of you search
...

if this is what you want
i'll give it to you
give me a second to clear
the smoke from the room
...
