About Myself from So Strange by Mark J. Soriano

Used to find my place in the water
Today I'm drowning more than I can tell
The rocks are melting quicker but leaving my blood thicker
I think learning more about myself

Start by swallowing my poison
Wash away the words I misread
Clocks don't matter either, I'll show up late to leave here
Not to great at hiding what I've felt

Can't say I'm much like my father
He could always say when he was wrong
To me he held me somewhere, couldn't tell that he cared
I left him hoping, needing his help

Now I know
I can't be this way
I'll stall all my reasons
To stop drinking and keep sleeping
Before I go, I can change

Someday I'll find my place at the altar
Laid down to find some peace and rest
I hope to know the truth, before I'm in my tomb
At times I try to know about myself
At times I try to know I need help
