Call Me Foolish, I Feel Hopeless
I Couldn't Take It, You Calling Out My Name
Alex Gaskarth
After yesterday, all I could think about is Jack. I felt horrible lying to him about myself, but is it really lying if he didn't ask about me? He admitted what happened to him in the past, so why couldn't I do the same? I just really wanted to shut my brain up for awhile.
I grabbed my guitar, quietly leaving the cabin. Today was Saturday so we didn't have classes, and Jack was still sleeping. Hell, probably the whole camp is still sleeping. It is five in the morning after all. When I reached the lake, I sat down at the dock, strumming random cords. Taking a deep breath, I let my emotions out.
My ship went down
In a sea of sound.
When I woke up alone I had everything:
A handful of moments I wished I could change
And a tongue like a nightmare that cut like a blade.
In a city of fools,
I was careful and cool,
But they tore me apart like a hurricane...
A handful of moments I wished I could change
But I was carried away.
Give me therapy.
I'm a walking travesty
But I'm smiling at everything.
Therapy...
You were never a friend to me
And you can keep all your misery.
My lungs gave out
As I faced the crowd.
I think that keeping this up could be dangerous.
I'm flesh and bone,
I'm a rolling stone
And the experts say I'm delirious.
Give me therapy.
I'm a walking travesty
But I'm smiling at everything.
Therapy...
You were never a friend to me
And you can take back your misery.
Arrogant boy,
Love yourself so no one has to.
They're better off without you.
Arrogant boy,
Cause a scene like you're supposed to.
They'll fall asleep without you.
You're lucky if your memory remains.
Give me therapy.

Therapy...
I'm a walking travesty
But I'm smiling at everything.
Therapy...
You were never a friend to me
And you can choke on your misery.
I strummed the last cord, tears falling down my face.
"Don't cry. You can't cry. Stop it." I told myself, wiping my face. Taking a deep breath, I stood up from the dock, walking back to the cabin.
Alex thought he was alone, but he failed to notice the skunk haired boy watching him behind a shrub.
