You wear your heart on your sleeve Like Christmas day and New Years Eve I remember staring up too late Like we did on our first date With a snow beaten covered path You smile, I just laugh I thought I’d never feel this way I thought I’d never see the day But here I am, staring in your eyes With feeling like we could fly You say darling don’t you waste your time Don’t you know it’s a crime So I’ll hang my hat on the door And hold you close like I did before Now I know you’re the one I promise you not to run If I go, if I stay, I promise we’ll be okay If we fight, a different night, we’ll find a way There’s too much love within our hearts Why don’t we just restart I’ll say you have a pretty smile You’ll tell me to stay awhile Listening to Help Me Make it Through the Night As we lay and watch the Northern Lights Think of all the time we waste With all the problems we have faced Hold your breath and face the sun Hold me close and love me, now that the day is done

Day is Done

You wear your heart on your sleeve Like Christmas day and New Years Eve I remember staring up too late Like we did on our first date With a snow beaten covered path You smile, I just laugh I thought I’d never feel this way I thought I’d never see the day But here I am, staring in your eyes With feeling like we could fly You say darling don’t you waste your time Don’t you know it’s a crime So I’ll hang my hat on the door And hold you close like I did before Now I know you’re the one I promise you not to run If I go, if I stay, I promise we’ll be okay If we fight, a different night, we’ll find a way There’s too much love within our hearts Why don’t we just restart I’ll say you have a pretty smile You’ll tell me to stay awhile Listening to Help Me Make it Through the Night As we lay and watch the Northern Lights Think of all the time we waste With all the problems we have faced Hold your breath and face the sun Hold me close and love me, now that the day is done

I awake to a cold breeze and skeletons in the closet Turn the water on and watch it pour from the faucet It gets harder day by day, play by play From starring in the mirror to her eyes, looking for the words to say “You look like you need some rest” she said, I smirked Why don’t you try to tell me how to make us work I know, I know, it’s cold, it’s cold I’ve done burned up all the lies I told I glance at the mirror, to eyes the shade of blue Though I must admit they grow bigger when looking at you But a man of habit, is a man of creature There is no such thing as a bad teacher We’re like gasoline and nicotine So why don’t we go and light all our dreams Burn, burn em’ all and shake the frost Never to question what it cost We’re staring at each other through the front door The same memories and feelings; we’ve been here before I turn the handle, but it doesn’t open I try to speak, but these words have already been spoken

Gasoline & Nicotine

I awake to a cold breeze and skeletons in the closet Turn the water on and watch it pour from the faucet It gets harder day by day, play by play From starring in the mirror to her eyes, looking for the words to say “You look like you need some rest” she said, I smirked Why don’t you try to tell me how to make us work I know, I know, it’s cold, it’s cold I’ve done burned up all the lies I told I glance at the mirror, to eyes the shade of blue Though I must admit they grow bigger when looking at you But a man of habit, is a man of creature There is no such thing as a bad teacher We’re like gasoline and nicotine So why don’t we go and light all our dreams Burn, burn em’ all and shake the frost Never to question what it cost We’re staring at each other through the front door The same memories and feelings; we’ve been here before I turn the handle, but it doesn’t open I try to speak, but these words have already been spoken

They say your heart skips a beat, is it true? Sometimes it feels as if mine adds two I think you can read me by the look in my eyes These feelings fly, just as birds in the sky The leaves and their changing colors Are no match for you my lover Rest your weary eyes upon my soul Let’s fade to black just like coal Let’s plant seeds to grow flowers in our hearts Or run away somewhere for a fresh start Please do try to understand I’m broke and may never be a better man So when the rain drops begin to fall Try not to make yourself feel small Look past the darkness of the night And I’ll tell you everything will be alright

A father, a brother, a son A friend, a lover, a foe Who do you see? Why do you run? Is it yourself or do you no longer know Is it the demons? Is it the ghosts? Of those ****** or those lost Or is it those you hurt the most Do you ever wonder what it cost Open your eyes, tell me what do you see It’s too late to ask for forgiveness All I see is misery Leaving you alone, alone in the bliss You may ask who I am The better question is who are you? Open your eyes and act like you give a **** Answer the question who is who? Open your eyes and look in the mirror Is that tears falling down your cheek? Is it worse than you have come to fear? Is the man in the mirror who you seek?

Whisper, whisper secrets in my ear Of everything I have grown to fear Paint me blue of all feelings As if my souls is going through the ceiling Make me heard and make me seen Like a hungry hound and a feen Don’t forget nor forgive when I do wrong Persecute me and turn me into a song When I die give me wings When I fly crown me as king For we both know I won’t see tomorrow I’m out of time, there’s none left to borrow The stars still shine in this mess Leaving me alive, forced to confess I gamble on circumstance, playing close to the vest More or less I’m broken and ready for rest So strike me once, hear the angels call Strike me twice and you too shall fall Leave me to the demons that need fed ”It is what it is” as you once said

She smiled, said she loved the fall The color on the trees and the falling leaves I smiled back, leaning against the wall We didn’t know it, but the two of us were thieves She stole my heart, locking it away All it took was the look in her eyes I stole her youth, turning her to gray All it took was the stress from my lies If only there was a way to make time rewind For you know I would spend my last dime To give you a chance to see inside my mind Maybe we wouldn’t falter like wind chimes You turn to me and say you’re starving, and hungry for another bed Lover please…. don’t be a memory Relinquish me from all these feelings I dread If our love is ****** charge me as an accessory She smiled, said she loved the winter The bright lights and the falling snow I smiled back, holding the door for her to enter Another stranger to get to know

Today I wrote you a letter Per usual it was the same old stuff I say I thought it might make myself feel better Or at least help to get through the day I gaze on out the window Taking in the same scene The birds and trees all for show Oh, how I want to break the screen You once told me of how I needed rest I have one last wish before I do You know what it is, you knew me best So well I wouldn’t have to leave a clue Once again I find myself lost in something beautiful Staring into the eyes of an old lover Wishing I could have been suitable Wishing it was me and not another The truth is I coward behind this letter Knowing that my eyes will be the only ones to see it Still I hope it may make myself feel better Still I hope I’m a missing piece that will fit

Slow down kid, you’re living to angry, you’re living to mean The world won’t make sense at fifteen You’ll roll your sleeves and hide your heart But you’ve come a long way from the start It’s funny what can change when you’re twenty four Staring into the eyes of a stranger wanting more She’ll keep you close, but it’ll be hard to tell If it was your or her that fell At twenty seven, you’ll start to dream You’ll start questioning what everything means You might even get a tattoo But you’ll let your heart guide you true When you reach the end, you’ll crack a smile You’ll look into her eyes and realize it’s all worthwhile The journey and the memories that were made Knowing that none of it will ever fade So slow down kid, it's not your time Just work on the reason, find your rhyme Stay true and walk the line For one day too, you will shine

Slow Down Kid

Slow down kid, you’re living to angry, you’re living to mean The world won’t make sense at fifteen You’ll roll your sleeves and hide your heart But you’ve come a long way from the start It’s funny what can change when you’re twenty four Staring into the eyes of a stranger wanting more She’ll keep you close, but it’ll be hard to tell If it was your or her that fell At twenty seven, you’ll start to dream You’ll start questioning what everything means You might even get a tattoo But you’ll let your heart guide you true When you reach the end, you’ll crack a smile You’ll look into her eyes and realize it’s all worthwhile The journey and the memories that were made Knowing that none of it will ever fade So slow down kid, it's not your time Just work on the reason, find your rhyme Stay true and walk the line For one day too, you will shine

The measure of a man is judged by his actions Not by the way he walks, nor by the way he talks For many are guilty of infractions But to me that is no shock Reflection is a virtue, that few understand I don’t like the person I see The hurt caused for the upperhand All the pain and all the misery The ones I love have turned to strangers Bad habits and fever dreams I continue throwing myself into danger As if I know what it all means Maybe I should have put up a facade Let these feelings continue to linger Allow myself to corrade Yet you replaced me in anger I’ve gotten good at hiding the guilt on my face A cold should has become second nature You felt as soft as lace You were meant for someone much greater If you were a ship in the sea Then I would be your anchor Holding you down from where you belong to be So sell the ship, go and find a banker

Anchor

Her voice echoed behind me, down the hall I was too ****** to turn and look I was too ****** to walk, so I crawled Crawled myself into a nook I stayed there and sheltered myself Thinking about the wrongs I’ve done All the foolish ways I wreck my health Then I gazed to the rising sun I want the strength of my father, but the love of my mother I want to be free, free from the questions they ask I’m a liar, I’ll lie to the face of a lover Then I’ll hide, hide myself behind a mask It seems like I’ll always be looking kin So drop me a line or leave me a verse I’ll wait here until then And pray that I’m not a curse I’ll sit and write a line or two Filling my head with an empty muse While all I hear is I miss you Is it from my mind or the drugs I abuse I reach out to you, to find a needle It’s not a fair exchange, but it eases my brain It forms a cloud over all the evil The rain that follows is my life trickling down the drain
