Too Uptight


Once there was a nothing
the voices rang so true
the knowledge that was lacking
cut innocence in two
everything seemed too good to be right
when i was 16
i was too uptight
Now disappointment's shadow
reveals a colder time
a harder kind of living
in disillusion
how can it go
the fear of the night
now i am grown
i'm just too uptight
A slow and noble breakdown of personality
careless, heartless, soulless,
no dignity
my days are flown
and i can't recall
feeling so alone
was i so uptight
Death creeps ever closer
a darkness falls in me
a scared fragmented loner
unholy
a night with no end
an echoing sea
i'll think about me
how i'm too uptight
