Sorry it's been so long, I haven't been able to write for a while... I keep locking up whenever I try, and everything that comes out is shit. I'm not entirely sure about this one either, but at least it's something, and it's better than most of what I've written recently! I found a Johnny Cash cover of "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails, and have listened to it probably 20 times since I got it (just a few hours ago!), so I'm sure that it has inspired a lot of the feeling behind this...
The Man Behind The Story
Don't count on me tonight
I can't even carry myself
Frozen when you needed me the most
I guess I let you down again
The crushing weight of failure
Lies heavy on my shoulders
Even the cutting can't bury my shame
And the drugs don't numb me anymore
Plant a rose in the garden of my heart
One for every friend that I have hurt
The thorns grow thick with disappointment
I can't shine for you tonight
Looking back on the wasteland of life
I turn my back in rage
Cry lullabies as I lay down my arms
And I know I'm finally going home

This one is DEFinitely "sketchized"!
Sometimes it's whole lines that tug at me, sometimes it's phrases. This one has both. Good work.
Yeah, I really felt it this time... I just have to remember not to write things that I don't feel anymore!
