Description
Give Me Myself BackAlone I sit in the corners of my mind
Coiled cigarettes lay at my feet
Their dull smoke making me blind
Making me unable to see myself rot
I hate them, or do I not?
Still the pile reaches higher and higher places
Making me numb of any movements,
Except for the expression changes on your faces
Yes I’m talking to you, oh beautiful cigarettes
I hate them, or do I not?
They make me unable to see who I really am
Blinding me while I’m sitting here, in the corners of my mind
My precious needle joins the ashes
While the knife around me wildly smashes
I hate this, or do I not?
I finally reached the ‘real’ world, where pain and death are felt
The light in the room surrounding me is dimmed
I look forward to escaping this hell again, and to make my heart melt
Once again, you don’t know how it feels
When everything around you fails and dies, except for you
In my dreams a face haunts me
Who is it, who can it be?
It’s familiar in a distant way
Please leave, don’t you fucking stay!
I discovered who it was after looking in the mirror
As I collapse to the ground a pray to a god that doesn’t exist
I need to escape again, to the corner in my mind where this face doesn’t follow
But I can’t – Not anymore – God, give me myself back
Please, give me my face back
Give me my will back
Give me everything, give my life
Now!

A song eh? It would be interesting to hear what tune this is supposed to go to. I agree, there is some very nice imagery mixed in there, it helps to bring your point across.

are my favorite lines. Very powerful, and very true to your piece.
I like it, overall, though I find the "or do I?" part to be rather cliche, perhaps you could reword it?
Wonderful job, very powerful, great meaning.
