i think i skipped a page of life

tell me a story where i was the king
play out the picture like it was a scene
from a movie you've wanted to watch for so long
but words are exed out, they must of been wrong

i've grimaced so senseless as i try to find
a story that makes me feel so sublime
please help me discover what it takes to love
or at least love me back, this love life is rough

here i go, i'm falling back into the cycle
where i feel lonely and spiteful
and i am destined to be
a singularity
here i am
watching as my other side
in darkness without any light
all the sadness, loneliness, and rage
but just ignore it, skip a page

wasted so much time drinking down the things
that weighed on my mind gave alcoholic dreams
but it all came back up and made me sick
i couldn't hold it down, the liquor was too thick

so jealous and zealous that i have become
racing to disaster what the hell have i done?
thinking of days that were long ago
just wanted to have something i could show

here i go
i'm falling back into the cycle
where i feel lonely and spiteful
and i am destined to be
a singularity
here i am
watching as my other side
left in darkness without any light
all the sadness, loneliness, and rage
but just ignore it, skip a page

tell me a story where i was the king
play out the picture like it was a scene
the story you told me i wish you would
not have told the one with me as damaged goods

The Island of Tneibbe
A small, but.....
well, a small island off the coast of Greenland, Tneibbe was an island used mainly for stocking ships as they crossed the ocean. Not a very wealthy island, their main export was.. generally unknown. Now that i think about it, the whole island was pretty much funded by the wise and noble king, Brent Knibbe. As the story goes, he arrived(was marooned in all actuallity) on the island on a bright and sunny day, and found a group of savages. They considered him a god, and he taught them better, and the island vanished into the sea after many years, the end.

There's your story. i teld it to you. I like that line, "tell me a story where i was the king," so i thought i would.
