I'm Not Gonna Cry

from An Uneasy Empathy by Jonathon Smith

/

lyrics

I’m lying in my bed, clenching the sheets,
Pulled up to my head, I refuse to go to sleep.
I’m staring at the ceiling, but I want you to know
How distant I’m feeling and that I’m distracted so.

Oh, I’m not gonna cry, I just find melancholy being so comforting.

There’s something serene about seeing this whole damn mess,
All the while knowing I’m so helpless.

But I’m not gonna cry, I just find melancholy being so comforting.

Sometimes I want to cut my hands off,
I just want to gouge my eyes out.
Sometimes I want to give everything to the poor,
I just want to live a simple life.
Oh, I just want to live a simple life.
