I spend most of my days on the top level of a double decker bus Going from one direction in the morning to another in the afternoon. The glamor lacks but the freedom is incredible. Where will I go? What will I do? Will I ever come back to you? Waking and working cooking and cleaning marrying and conceiving What a dull sad life most are destined to live While I enjoy my time living the lie of someone who travels on a double decker bus

Double Decker Bus
Suicidal tendencies can follow you throughout your life This makes arrival to old age something to really celebrate An alcoholic makes it that first year An addict finally beats their fear The thoughts still return The guilt and the pain Maybe I deserve this in some way? There is a distinct pleasure in the cut Running a blade across and watching the blood run It's a battle I'll fight from day to day Hoping one day to celebrate my old age

Tendencies
I woke up in his bed yet again Stumbled through the mess of clothes and ***** dishes on the floor Trying to find my outfit from the night before I darted out the door Down the stairs and into my room My head throbbing like some impending doom And what does it mean We're only just friends? Waking in your bed daily Seems more than just friendly If that’s all it is, all my friends really owe me

Oh those summer nights When everything seemed alright Sitting in the backyard Watching the fire snap and burn Drinking my cheap beer And listening to you and everyone there Everything was good then Knowing I’d wake up in your bed But summer only brings the smells That remind me of what's dead Oh those hot summer nights Sitting in your backyard It was carefree and young And I can never return

I'm out of words for you I'm lost and incomplete I'm alive and I'm free I miss you, but I'm happy At last someone stepped up At last someone let go I only wish I had done it long ago It is good It is bad It is neutral I clung to the nothing that you offered I lived in denial too long I don't miss your words I don't miss your morning breath Now I find I miss you less and less

Morning Breath
The TV is off The room is dark And I am alone Between these four walls The clock is ticking The tap is dripping But I am alone Between these four walls I grind my teeth I wonder I think Still I am alone Between these four walls And I alone I will stay Ever since the day You left me alone Between these four walls
