30/M/pittsburgh A true friend stabs you in the front. / -Oscar Wilde
I can say it all here To make it all clear Who I was ain’t who I was gonna be. Been up all night now its probably dawn Two long nights just to write this song I can say it all here Just to make it all clear Now when push come to shove   I fall out of line I swore I’d never feel again and I lied It’s the fate of the world runnin my life Can’t run away cause I’ve tried I can say it all here Just to make it all clear Just tryna live and gettin knocked down Thoughts in my head make me drink til I drown It wasn’t time for me then Is it time for me now?   I can’t be home when I hate this house I can say it all here Just to make it all clear I can say it all here Thoughts in my head make me drink til I drown It wasn’t time for me then Is it time for me now?   I can’t be home when I hate this house I can say it all here

I can say it all here
I’m suicidal, but I’m not committed I’ve been admitted; it’s been predicted But I’m still smilin The pills aren’t working But I’m still learning My head is spinnin and I’m convinced That I don’t know who I am

Not committed
I woke up in shadows, The bottle beside me Chasing the ghosts of what used to be me Thought I found love in the haze of the night But all that it brought was the cold empty fight I rose from the ashes Rebuilt my own way No longer a puppet Im learning to play I’m standing alone In the light of my truth No longer a prisoner of dark wasted youth With every step forward I’m more than alright The love that I lost led me back to the light Memories haunt me like smoke in the air The laughter the love it’s simply not there But I found a new strength in my solitude Embracing the calm, I’m cleansing the rude In the silence my heart found a song A melody whispers “You’re where you belong” Im standing alone In the light of my truth No longer a prisoner of a dark wasted youth With every step forward I’m more than alright The love that I lost lead me back to the light So here’s to the journey To healing and grace I found my own home in this damaged space

Stand alone
Though I'm not in jail it all just feels the same Waking up depressed told just not to complain A shotgun to my head i feel like Curt Cobain Not a literal sense, but the context sustains I don't want money, success, not even some fame I just want to learn to play this game Each day it gets hard i just keep  breathing Wondering how the **** this happened, it feels like treason From a comical skeptic to a reliable source I question the water that was gave to the horse Viewed as a sinner but always in doubt "Read from the scripture and figure it out" Nightmares keeping me awake like a proxy SO many bad thoughts I wish I could get off me Do your 12 steps Bob, everything is kosher Yet I wake every night screaming still sober A stranger does the same, and everyone wants to know her A technicality set, a glimpse for closure Different from most but related to some I feel alone but second to none Shaking again always be the **** up "drinkings a sin" Always press my luck up Some things I will never understand But if it doesn't change I will be ******

Sobering Thoughts
Up the ladder and into the night Building courage to put up a fight Down the glass embrace the pain Frown collapse, stay the same Mixed signals turned blind astray It'll all change the next day. Smiling, laughing joking alike Thoughts toiling clashing poking with spite A past written blood soaked tears Wash them away, a few beers Ridiculed and neglected a whim You're nothing, nothing just "him" Pursue on, your mind would say It'll all change the next day Love and regret burning a fire Lying awake, sleepless attire Close your eyes and wish it away Still nothing's better the next day

The next day
Burn the canvas and lose the attire Just learn from this don’t choose the squire I’ve lived rich and I’ve lived poor Laid in a ditch and saw the end so near Thrown out and cast away Starving yet drunk lead astray Good “friends” and good places Make ammends and fake chases Looking for redemption or a spot of glory Searching for salvation in a place not holy A voice burnt like the scars of time A choice you learned yet far behind Apologize and sleep it off Wake up to realize you’re alone and scoffed 3 years and yet still alone No more tears you’ve done all you’ve shown Can’t take back the things that happened Can’t fix the the rings that cracked and Still here you are Awake 3 am writing in the car Missing them and knowing they are gone Wishing them the best knowing you might not see dawn But none the less you go on Rambling and talking Just wishing the life wasn’t the picture you’ve drawn

Burn the canvas
Broken battered Woken shattered Descriptive of a time Insisted to be fine Left alone and your will to pray Lost somewhere along the way Your will to live Your will to try Your will to push on Your will to strive The will to get up and be alive astray Lost somewhere along the way Trials and stipulations Walked miles for conversations Memories of a hope once left at bay All lost somewhere along the way Try to run try to hide Keep your chin up But you're dead inside Wear that smile and to everyone youll show it Because youve already died and they just don't know it The feelings all numb and The liquore bottle full Pour up a drink here here let me say All of your life was lost somewhere along the way

Somewhere along the way
Made from lust and greed How can a memory continue to bleed Swimming in saddness Treading dead waters Drowning again in the depths of your sorrow Frowning again taking steps towards tomorrow Wondering now just what is the point Pondering how I sit at the brink Ice cubes and a cylinder glass Miscues and a dwindlers past Wash them away 100s proof Slosh them and stay, a bundles a spoof Mere sight lost and all blurry Clear as night I'm crossed all slurry Saying thoughts with no worn remorse Praying clots a lost souls torn corpse Suicide always is calling my number Aside the hallways balling my slumber An unwoken home build on ashes By an unspoken poem with blood stained clashes The pictures are burnt and the pages torn The scars still hurt a broken heart will never learn Scream in silence at the voices to come Dream in violence it's the choices your numb Venture off in your personal hell Knowing it's your own mind does you well Swallow it down and accept your fate Close your eyes and close the gate Close the gate on the house you can't escape

Minds hellish embrace
I've got the news today She packed her bags and moved away Just wish I had the words to say I just can't face another day I look around and they're all gone Just best to leave it in a song I left my heart back home with you The thought of sorrys overdue But I'm hell bound I'm hell bound Lord help now I'm hell bound Another night I'm losing sleep Too scared awake I'm on the brink Another drink and its all gone I hear your voice and I'm alone The final time ive lost it all And now im bleeding out the loss If i could make things right again I swear that I'll be at my end But I'm hell bound I'm hell bound Lord help now I'm hell bound

Hell bound
With Closed eyes and a grim face Imposed lies paint a dim place Dark and hollow with nothing around Go ahead and scream you'll never be found Keep going further down to your dismay This ***** just beginning for sure it's just may Etch up a symbol a portrait of hope Catch up be nimble, forget about the slope Hear the voices screaming in the night Wake up you're dreaming, but everything's not alright Blur out her memory one drink should do Slur down what went wrong better yet make it two Dig deeper into a false sense of relief Tell yourself it didn't happen, I mean it's your own belief Go on another liquor drenched ****** Talking to shadows, trying not to remember You said you loved her, when was that? December. 4 years is a long time to be near 4 beers is a song, a chime to be clear A melody to sooth and erase But still you find yourself leading this chase? **** if only you could forget her face Close your eyes and drift off into sadness Hearing the voices call in the madness Still you'll sit just all alone This darkness now is your "humble abode" With no way out you soon decide Contemplating the thought of suicide The reality of all that was lost All comes clear but at what cost Now all thoughts and ambitions are tossed Trapped in the dim dark place you come to know You'll never get out you'll never just go To forget her would be the key To forget her is the lesson you see There's no fixing or mending No wishing or commending It's just you and your thoughts in the dim to be
