I don't know what to say Now that everything's not okay I'm just sitting here wishing I could Drink the pain away again One more time But it never helps fix anything at all Just the thought of what's gone wrong Makes me so sick I could run Take that one way escape And never have to look back again Wouldn't that be easier Than facing what I've done? So say what you will And do whatever you want I know I'm so good at making life So difficult You don't deserve it And I don't know how to fix all my faults So now I'll tell you I'm sorry And then we'll hang into promises I just can't get your head to a place Where you will worry less Please forgive me I'll do anything I can to right this wrong

I turned around And you weren't there My soul went cold The room was bare Dust slowly settled On a quiet calm You felt so real But now you're gone You left behind Your haunting story And in my heart A storm is brewing Our masterpiece Has been redrawn We had it all What have you done? New life has come Upon this year It's been six months Since you were here Still in my mind I hear your voice And on my hands I see your choice I’m caught between Reminiscing and forgetting I'm stuck beneath Recovering and missing Id give anything To change the past I just hope you've Found peace at last.

Midnight strikes Up on the clock We feel it pass Our eyes look not Slowly drifting Past our limit For this sin Please be forgiveness With every sip The time hands tick Down our veins The poison drips It's washed away With ruby reds Crystal whites And water threads Electrons fire Out of control Lost in confusion Nowhere to go Pathways merge And sparks erupt Assistance hurries In a rush It's still outside So plain and simple Take a sip And life belittles Problems that are In our way Persistent trouble Rainy days Pushed aside is Sadness, sorrow Though pity will reside Sunrise tomorrow  And not for my life's Unfortunate standing Not for the deck Which I have been handed But because I chose To indulge in this Life's simple road To sudden bliss

Sudden Bliss
waiting for you day and night I pretend I'm alright despite the frustration I feel inside but I won't bring us down and cry days keep flying past misty mornings come but they never last I don't mind the time slipping away so passionately the sooner I get to see you the sooner I get to see you right now I'm alone sitting by the window half closed it makes me feel alive when the sun hits my eyes and reminds me that you have to live yours and I live mine

Get To See You
It was a beautiful night to have you back by my side everything could have been wrong but it would still feel so right I cant speak as you load your luggage and hurry into the passengers seat so this is what it feels like to be complete but your eyes tell the story of someone I don't know your clothes have the scent of places i've only been told i would've be scared to hold your hand if i had known that four months from now i'd be all alone well now your dust is in my eyes and i cannot see this used to be something in which i used to believe but when the benefit has nothing to do with me i become selfishly un-wanting of what you may need but it's a two way street it's exactly what you've done to me right now your just a memory I used to feel your warmth on me and it's crazy to think that it was a necessity to me but one more night of your face outlined on computer screens i swear i'll start to question how much of this i really need i'll start to question how much of you i really need

It is without a doubt that this pill has been placed on my tongue and begun to melt. I cannot get myself to swallow, however. I'd rather choke on it's pasty residue and after matter. I will not be held responsible for something I did not accept. I will do everything to fight the after effects. But, what if resisting will make it worse? What if the pill hits my body and begins to hurt? You see I blocked it out as long as I could. But sooner or later it has to absorb. And then it will hit me like a ton of bricks. I should have accepted so I was ready to cope with this.

This Pill
they're still debating and I'm just waiting while the world is fading around me you see i'm not strong enough to give a **** so I don't because I don't have the guts to stand up for myself if I felt differently than everyone else so we blame everyone else tiptoe around ourselves and our responsibility “oh this world is a terrible place” I hear them say as they do nothing to make it change they debate or wait or watch it fade "this world is a terrible place" they say

They Say
Fell asleep thinking about the old house yesterday And the adventures in the backyard where I used to play Three acres might seem like a lot for little kid But I knew those woods better than my parents did My wooden teepee served as a safe haven When the world didn't feel like a suitable place to be in I dreamed about Max my old best friend Who kept me safe from nightly creatures and boogy men Just a dog who still has a special place in my heart A great dane who was five when the world made us part I thought about the overlook where we dumped our leaves I remembered the long days just me and the trees These days those woods have Max and Phoenix too The Golden retriever who got me and my sisters through Much of that thing we call childhood I didn't know it then but now I would Give anything and everything to go back And run wild through those backyard paths Then I was free, I did not care or notice That things weren't exactly how they were suppose to be noted Now I reside in this fowl world where I can't spare a minute Take me back to the time when my world had no limits

Take me back
sitting, reminiscing, wishing you were here to mend my broken heart your the only one who can fix it because your the one who tore it apart "the first is always the worst" they say but I didn't think it'd be this hard loving you came easily but to you, I was easy to discard
