Words from RRC in the morning

All Fired Up and No Place to Go (1/13/06)

There are no more pictures on the walls
And the gifts were told where to go
Piled with letters and love notes
The night they danced in a red-orange glow

But there’s still anger in the making
Bitterness in the blood
Sweat and tears are coming
An impending foul mood

With me all fired up and no place to go
Nothing to see
Nothing to show
Nothing left to run around
It just gets me down

I scrapped all but memories
And would off those if I could
I want nothing more of this
No pain is better now than good

But he still comes to me in dreams
To haunt me while I sleep
And seeps in through dark corners
The memories I don’t want to keep

Now I’m all fired up with no place to go
Nothing to see
Nothing to show
Nothing left to run around
He just gets me down

So you caught me standing lonely
Screaming the air blue
Because I can’t make him leave me
Now you’re wondering what to do

Let me go. Let me punch the wall
And kiss me where I bleed
I never wanted him
Just you- That’s all I need

When I collapse in tears
Then you can hold me tight
Soon dreams of you will replace him
And I will sleep through the night

I’m still all fired up but please don’t go
I’m nothing to see
With nothing to show
But I won’t run around
He just gets me down
Sometimes I still get down
