you drag me along on an adventure
not explaining where we’ll go
when i ask you what we’re doing
you grin and say you don’t know
we drive forever on endless roads
i stop questioning after a while
you sing to the radio with such enthusiasm
i can’t help but smile
we stop at a garage to fill up the truck
a faded sign says “ice cream this way”
i shrug and help you find the freezer
we argue, you relent, i pay
i’m barely awake when the trip finally ends
and you’re pulling me out of the door
you’re filling the truck bed with blankets
while i can’t figure out what for
you helped me in and shifted the blankets
then wrapped your arms around me too
you wanted to look at the stars
i just wanted to stare at you

being the unimportant friend ******* hurts
never being the first choice ******* hurts
having someone laugh in your face ******* hurts
desperately wanting to be loved ******* hurts
sobbing into your pillow alone at night ******* hurts
feeling unwanted ******* hurts

At 2am you’ll find me
Awake and thinking too much
I speak aloud of what I’m afraid
Using the darkness as my crutch
Sleep never comes easily
My soul simply cannot rest
With the dull ache of loneliness
And sorrow it knows best
They say 2am is for the poets
The lovers, the lonely, the inspired
But I just want to fall asleep
Can someone hold me? I’m tired

I’m helplessly adrift at sea
The sinking ship abandoned me
The sky is dark, that water’s cold
I can’t find any breath to hold
Sinking beneath an icy wave
Where I find the death I crave
I try to fight against the gloom
But in the water I’m surely doomed
I close my eyes, accept my fate
A saviour comes, but it’s too late.

my hands and thoughts do tremble
seeing that which i resemble
nasty snarl upon my face
reminding me i’m a disgrace
furrowed brow and clenching fist
intrusive thoughts i can’t resist
cowardly i run and hide
from everything i keep inside

An eclipse of emotions
Disastrous devotions
A fleeting feeling of remorse
Taste of sorrow, sour and coarse
Trembling hands beyond the glass
I guess peace is too much to ask
Throwing fists up at the sky
Screaming “why, ********* why?”
But there’s no answer from above
This is all I get from love

emotional confusion
are you feeling the delusion
of our sentimental fusion
there’s a lie between the eyes
and a crack in the disguise
ignorant in our demise
but now the heat of the illusion
is obscuring the conclusion
now is that what makes us human?
keep us staring at the stars
throw our hopes and dreams in jars
i guess that’s just who we are.

Forever lasts a second
Time is all a lie
And yet it still controls us
We never wonder why
Clocks and watches ticking
Keeps us on our toes
Could we ever make it stop?
No one really knows
Beyond the downward spiral
Down towards the grave
That’s where lives are truly lived
But only if you’re brave

it all means nothing
yet we keep going on
because of we would stop
it means the world has won
but unfortunately for us
this is what i have found
most everything ends
with a hole in the ground
