Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

the company i keep never comes around
and they never fail to bring me down
they do it because they say they love me
even when it comes off as patronizing

they come in pairs and i come alone
my significance shrinks as their love grows
i don't know why i keep showing up
so i call myself the masochistic ********

voyeur isn't quite the right word
when they're upfront and without clothes
and there i sit in the corner of the room
so i leave the house and march to my gloom

it's quiet now and it's a quarter past two
and i'm still without a single thing to do
so excuse me if i seem a tad rude
but i'm getting really tired of being fifth wheel dude

the company i keep means to do right
they tell me to stop when i put up a fight
i'm a great guy and a good friend
so being alone shouldn't signal an end

i don't know why i'm even still here
at least i can drown in whiskey and beer
with the only friends that i've really had
and the love of a girl who never keeps me sad

it's quiet now and it's a quarter past two
and i'm still without a single thing to do
so excuse me if i seem a tad rude
but i'm getting really tired of being fifth wheel dude
