This is a depressing lyric, and I must have been in the throes of my addiction. It's all negativity, and crying about what I don't have, and how life isn't fair, and I need someone to pick me up and help me. I can't even see clearly enough that I need to help myself. It's all of these types of emotions, and negative feelings that will keep me stuck in a hole. One has reasons to live for, and you need to find them. I know today that the reason for me to live is not to use drugs and alcohol, but the fulfill my dreams and aspirations. One of them was always to be a lyricist, and here I am.

This lyric is about my addiction, and it's me talking to myself. It's basically just me saying what a waste your life has become and it doesn't seem like you care. It begs the question why are you doing this to yourself. But if you continue on the path that you are on, you will die. And they won't be many people who didn't expect it, or feel sympathy for you. It's a song that brings out the essence of addiction, and what a shame it is for someone who's got so much talent personality, to waste his life using drugs to try to find the answers to the questions.

This lyric is about lies and deception. But they are not fooling anyone. They beg for them to stop and tell them the truth, because it's hurting them so much. They feel used, in a sense of abandonment. This is such an empty feeling, the feeling of being played. And they know that they are not fooling anyone, it's you they know it's you.

This lyric is about someone who has a fear of love and connection. A fear of intimacy if you will. They know that they want to have those feelings but they're not sure how to go about it. There's constant struggles about them opening up their heart and giving away their emotions to someone else. This is because they are fearful that it'll be held against them or that they won't be able to live up to how they're feeling toward another person. There are many people that are incapable of love, and one of the secrets to overcoming that is live your life with an open heart.
