Story Behind the Song
This song was recorded live at Eddie's Attic in Decatur, GA just east of Atlanta while participating in an open mic competition. This was one of the first songs I wrote, about five years ago.
Lyrics
I tried not to show the shock in my eyes.
I guess I wasn't that surprised.
Now it's two a.m. and here I am again.
Crying in the dark.
This monster called lonliness is throwing stones at my window.
He's ready to take me by the throat and strangle me.
I can't sleep, my mind is racing, racing, racing.
I'm trying to figure out me.
How can you look at me like I'm the one to blame?
I can't remember the last time I saw the stars.
All these lies I tell trying to protect myself
They're killing me bit by little bit.
This monster called lonliness is throwing stones at my window.
He's ready to take me by the throat and strangle me.
I can't sleep, my mind is racing, racing, racing.
I'm trying to figure out me.
His rapping is growing louder
I know I can't hide forever
I want to pull the sheets over my head and dissapear.
These streetlights guide my way to work and back
Like soldiers marching on for miles
Everything is different now, I hate you for it
I don't think I will ever ever learn to escape from...
This monster called lonliness is throwing stones at my window.
He's ready to take me by the throat and strangle me.
I can't sleep, my mind is racing, racing, racing.
I'm trying to figure out me.
