Continental Drift Ethan Jewell

My heart is a continental drift
It's big ol’ broken pieces going into the abyss
So a waterfall of mighty pain erupts from the core's surface
Draining down my happiness, that was it's only purpose
So the peak of sadness stares at me, with it’s broken gaze within
I said walking without a heart is like living without a limb
Because I'm an automatic, animatronic, fake my feelings friend
Saturated, infatuated, pushed to a dead end

Because the reader of the words will never understand
How the poet must feel when his mind is so bland
So I make the paper talk for me
And I try to make it clear for you to see
Please open me up, and let me scream
Because I'm more than a laugh, and I'm more than a cry
All the stuff that I have, and yet for some reason I still just want to die

I finally tell them and they all just say same
Y'know, emotions are a game
I'm a player and I'm sick of it
I want to put my controller down because I'm filled with so much bewilderment
And I read these shattered notes from a past long gone
And I cry out my empty tears
To the same worn out song
Because I tell you I’m on display on a stage made for stars
I don’t belong here, I mean, trust me, I've tried my best, but it’s so damn hard
