"Just Another Mistake II," written by David L. Riley
I never knew how much I could bleed
Errors and mirrors
Things I should have done
Things I should have said
Words form in my mouth
It was a mistake
Action, inaction
The voices tell me
I just made another error in judgment
Lies in my own voice
Trapped inside my head
I won't listen as they tear at my inner armor
Fallen away
Naked in front of you
Heart wild open
Is this another mistake?
I'm a train wreck survivor
Living in the dark
Smoke rises from the flames of hope
Just another mistake
To hope
To breathe
Days breathe onward
Where is the air in my lungs?
Replaced by pains in the stomach
Head spins
Life crumbles into a million pieces
My heart shatters before my eyes
Right on the tip of my tongue
Just another mistake
Words form in my mind
Should have spoken up
Should have remained silent
Just another mistake
Nights lean on my shoulders
Burn away the shadows
The sun is a lie
The moon is quite the talker
Love
Hate
The world continues to spin
Don't make no difference
I'll always love you
Forever swallowed by you
Still, I'll always love you
It's just another mistake, too
