Brittle

This was actually written as a song, but I'm not entirely happy with the melody I've come up with. Also I don't have the means to accompany it with any instruments. But the lyrics aren't quite awful. So here they are.

I don't know what I want to say
I think I'll say it anyway
I never get it right
And so I never sleep at night
And I'm in love with the idea of love
I'm prayin' to the stars above
But I don't hear a voice
And I don't think I get a choice in that

I don't
Want to be awake
I do not know what I can take
I am afraid that I will break
'Cause I am brittle
At risk from curiosity
A champion of heresy
I'm on my feet, I'm on my knees
It's killin' me

I don't know where I want to go
I'm not sure if I'll ever know
I know it isn't far
'Cause I can't even drive a car
But just believe me, I am happy here
I think, I guess, it isn't clear
My throat is getting sore
And you just tell me if I bore you, please

I don't
Want to be awake
I do not know what I can take
I am afraid that I will break
'Cause I am brittle
At risk from curiosity
A champion of heresy
I'm on my feet, I'm on my knees
It's killin' me

My resolutions need to start
I think I've had a change of heart
This time it's really true
And I will prove myself to you
But wait, I think we're getting hasty here
I think I need to be more clear
I know I need to change
I'm just a little too deranged for that

I don't
Want to be awake
I do not know what I can take
I am afraid that I will break
'Cause I am brittle
At risk from curiosity
A champion of heresy
I'm on my feet, I'm on my knees
It's killin' me

I want to be awake
There isn't much that I can take
But really even if I break
I'll just be brittle
A cat needs curiosity
I can't submit to destiny
I'm on my feet, I'm on my knees
