The Tortured Poets Department. An anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time – one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure. This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up. There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted. This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it.
And then all that’s left behind is the tortured poetry.
Waiter send this to the table, the party of one The only other lonely soul in this place And so you’re finishing up your coffee But then where you’re gonna run? Where’d you get that look on your face?
You should always let the sun go down on your anger Let it burn you to sleep Bring it closer to danger To surrender and retreat Sing your sad soul to sleep
I loved you the first time I saw you And you know I love you still But I am tired And I am yours
Don’t even think about your freedom Or taking that flight Or going back upon your promise after fighting for the right Because your eggshells and your right statements And your weaponized words Are paper tigers now
Oh your constant overthinking and your secretive drinking Are making you more and more alone And girl, you can slam the door behind you It ain’t ever gonna close Because when you’re home, you’re already home
I am tired I am tired I don’t wanna go home anymore I don’t wanna throw stones anymore I don’t wanna take part in the war
I loved you the first time I saw you And you know I love you still I loved you the first time I saw you And you know I love you still
I don’t wanna be right anymore Lord, I don’t wanna fight anymore I’m not taking your side anymore I am tired I am not my own And I am leaving Oh, I am tired And I’m coming home
‘Cause I am yours, I am yours, I am yours, I am yours, I am yours I am yours, I am yours, I am yours I am yours, I am yours
How do I get through one night without you If I had to live without you What kinda life would that be Oh I, I need you in my arms, need you to hold You’re my world, my heart, my soul
If you ever leave Well, baby you would take away everything Good in my life And tell me now
How do I live without you? I want to know How do I breathe without you? If you ever go How do I ever, ever survive How do I, how do I, oh how do I live
Without you There’d be no sun in my sky There would be no love in my life There’d be no world left for me
And I, well baby, I don’t know what I would do I’d be lost if I lost you
If you ever leave Well, baby you would take away everything Real in my life And tell me now
How do I live without you I want to know How do I breathe without you If you ever go How do I ever, ever survive How do I, how do I, oh how do I live
Please tell me baby how do I go on
If you ever leave Well, baby you would take away everything Need you with me Baby don’t you know that you’re everything Good in my life
And tell me now How do I live without you I want to know How do I breathe without you If you ever go How do I ever, ever survive How do I, how do I, oh how do I live
How do I live without you? How do I live without you, baby? How do I live
I was just coastin’, never really goin’ anywhere Caught up in a web, I was gettin’ kind of used to stayin’ there And out of the blue I fell for you
Now you’re liftin’ me up, ‘stead of holdin’ me down Stealin’ my heart, ‘stead of stealin’ my crown Untangled all the strings, round my wings, that were tied I didn’t know him and I didn’t know me Cloud nine, was always out of reach Now I remember what it feels like to fly You give me butterflies
Kiss full of color, makes me wonder where you’ve always been I was hiding in doubt ’til you brought me out of my chrysalis And I came out new All because of you
Now you’re liftin’ me up, ‘stead of holdin’ me down Stealin’ my heart, ‘stead of stealin’ my crown Untangled all the strings, round my wings, that were tied I didn’t know him and I didn’t know me Cloud nine, was always out of reach Now I remember what it feels like to fly You give me butterflies Yeah, you give me butterflies
Now you’re liftin’ me up, ‘stead of holdin’ me down You’re takin’ my hand, ‘stead of takin’ my crown
Untangled all the strings, round my wings, that were tied I didn’t know him and I didn’t know me Cloud nine, was always out of reach Now I remember what it feels like to fly You give me butterflies, hmm hmm hmm You give me butterflies, hmm hmm hmm
You’re on your own And what you need’s A little love and understanding, hee-hee-hee A little warmth to tell your soul A gentle bird that softly sings, hee-hee-hee-hee
Each night my voice happens to sneak Through your transistor radio, ho-ho-ho I’m just a secret you can keep And no one ever needs to know
You’re in that city far away I’m on the ship way out at sea You got some problems you can’t face So leave them behind, any place
For out of sight is out of mind And in time, and in time, and in time, and in time, and in time You’ll find peace of mind Ho-ho-kay-ay (okay), good, good
You’re room is like a desert isle You often filled with silent tears, hmm-hmm-hmm So grab your coat, put on a smile Go out and buy yourself some cheer, hee-hee-hee-hee Why sit there thinking of the past Recounting empty days gone by, hah-hah-hah When you should make each moment last It isn’t hard to do, just try
Drink to the city far away To all the sailors ‘way at sea All those problems you can’t face So leave them behind, any place
For out of sight is out of mind And in time, and in time, and in time, and in time, and in time You’ll find peace of mind O-kay, hm-hm, (okay), good
