a quick reprieve

the former title of my blog...and what i feel i often need. this is a song i wrote recently...it's a work in progress, as is my life.

i found myself again
in him this time around
another drug that takes the edge off
but can’t remove the pain

so empty inside
still trying to fill this void
deep within where i feel dead
but know you’re still alive

chorus
and a quick reprieve
is all i need tonight
a brief moment of sanity
it burns within me
but you know me better than i do
than i do
and i could never fool you

i still talk to you
when the city’s asleep am i
am i crazy to believe that you can hear me
do you still hear me (chorus)

bridge
they don’t know me
they don’t get me like you do
they don’t see the things i see
they don’t know me
they don’t know me
they don’t get me like you do
they will never understand
you’re not just another man

and a quick reprieve
is all i need tonight
a brief moment of sanity
you burn within me
you’ve always known me better than i do
than i do
and i could never fool you
