Singing my self loathing
Reposting the poem below in musical form, because I finally found the music to match the angst. Vocals by me.
Dark and stormy
I need to be where there is no me
I want you to go where there is no you
Where wind rips my hair and waves drown my ears
Let’s go to the dark and stormy
I’ve got a mind that won’t stop thinking
I’ve got a body that just wants to sweat
I’ve got a heart that’s ripe for the breaking
Why haven’t you broken it yet?
I’m a disaster waiting to happen
I’m your nightmare wrapped in a smile
High maintenance is miles below me
You’ll only dare stay for a while
I’ve got a mind that won’t stop thinking
I’ve got a body that just wants to sweat
I’ve got a heart that’s ripe for the breaking
Why haven’t you broken it yet?
(Hey! What are you still doing here?)
Stop gazing at me like a saint or an angel
Your admiration is too much to bear
Why can’t you hate me the way that I hate me
I know that I’m dark and stormy
I’ve got a mind that won’t stop thinking
I’ve got a body that just wants to sweat
I’ve got a heart that’s ripe for the breaking
Why haven’t you broken it yet?
