I Will Never Be Naked Again

(Originally posted here on 8th December 2010)

Kind of don’t really want to talk about it or anything (I realise the semi absurdity since this is FB!), but this is just an easier way of explaining to all my friends who’ve wondered why I’ve been such a moody, neurotic douchebag the last few days.  Just a song I wrote this morning – it’s nice to at least have something to write about again *shrugs*

‘i will never be naked again’

so you told me
and i just smile along
cuz i get it
when things go wrong you just have to move on

but you say that you wanna be my friend, my friend?
what kind of friend would ever want me to pretend, when..

every time you say hello
i’ll have you know
that i will keep it in the back of my head
so every time that you come on
i won’t let on
but i will never be naked again

for every tear down my cheek
and every word i’m unable to speak
i will keep it all inside
til i can no longer hide
and it seeps out my skin
and fuels this shell i live within

and every time you say hello
i’ll have you know
that i will keep it in the back of my head
so every time that you come on
i won’t let on
but  i will never be naked again

and today
when i walked through the traffic i got to the middle and i stopped
and i wait for the metal to meet my bones
before i wake up

for every tear down my cheek
and every word i’m unable to speak
i will keep it all inside
til i can no longer hide
and it seeps out my skin
and feeds this shell i live within

and every time you say hello
i’ll have you know
that i will keep it in the back of my head
so every time that you come on
i won’t let on
but  i will never be naked again

and i
always hoped
that i would find forever, find forever
but i
never got
my hopes up high
and i never will
again
