Apocalypse-Cigarettes after sex

I have no one.

No one to hug. No one to comfort me. No one to tell me not to do it. No one to ask me how I'm doing. I only have myself, and I'm constantly telling myself that I'm not good enough.

The moments when I can escape from my thoughts are the best moments. Like when I read a book, or watch a movie. Or when I stand on a hotel balcony and gaze out over the city, over all the beautiful lights. Or when I'm sitting in a car late at night and driving down a highway.

Just in these moments I feel alive, like this is where I'm meant to be. Or when I listen to a song and it says just exactly what I want to say but can't. I can express myself through songs. And I know that I'm not alone.

But the moments when I'm trapped with myself, when I have nowhere to go, I feel so bad. Like I don't deserve to live or be happy. 'Cause why would I, just another person, deserve to be happy?

I'm so, so pathetic...

"You leapt from crumbling bridges
Watching cityscapes turn to dust
Filming helicopters crashing in the ocean
From way above
Got the music in you baby, tell me why
Got the music in you baby, tell me why
You've been locked in there forever
And they just can't say goodbye
Kisses on the foreheads of the lovers
Wrapped in your arms
You've been hiding them in
Hollowed out pianos left in the dark
Got the music in you baby, tell me why
Got the music in you baby, tell me why
You've been locked in there forever
And they just can't say goodbye
Your lips, my lips, apocalypse
Your lips, my lips, apocalypse
Go and sneak us through the rivers
Flood is rising up on your knees, oh please
Come out and haunt me, I know you want me
Come out and haunt me
Sharing all your secrets with each other
Since you were kids
Sleeping soundly with the locket
That she gave you cutched in your fist
Got the music in you baby, tell me why
Got the music in you baby, tell me why
You've been locked in there forever
And you just can't say goodbye
You've been locked in there forever
And you just can't say goodbye
Oh, oh
When you're all alone
I will reach for you
When you're feeling low
I will be there too"
