Anywhere

I wish I could be anywhere but here.
But anywhere isn’t far enough from here.
And I’m sick of thinking of you,
Would rather be thinking of anyone,
but you.
And it’s everywhere,
The things that remind me of you.
And I’m starting not to care anymore.
Wish for the end to come,
From anywhere.
But I’d be ok if it came from you.
Your hands wrapped around my neck.
Squeezing the life from everywhere, inside me.
And it’s no good to anyone,
Anywhere anymore.
Let your guard down
Like you let your hair down for me.
And make me feel
Like I wish I was nowhere but here.
I could be anywhere,
I’d be right here.
Forever by your side.
Play your games,
And I’ll play mine.
You kiss your strangers,
And I’ll kiss mine.
But we both wish we could be anywhere,
Where we’re side to side.
So bow your head,
And pray to God.
You never did that before,
Maybe this time it will help.
And all your love,
Has gone to waste.
In a lovers arms.
And you're out of breath,
With every step.
You struggle to stay awake,
You wish you could be anywhere but here.
This ship had sank.
And I as the captain I will go down with it.
And wish I was anywhere doing anything,
But wasting your time.
So say your finale goodbye,
Kiss me on the forehead like a child.
And do the walk of shame out of my life.
And deep down be happy,
That you’re gunna be anywhere away from me.
If I could be anywhere, any place far away from here.
Id sell my soul,
To the devil himself.
And live in the fire.
And I wish I could be anywhere where you are.

Spine the circle

Are you shedding your skin?
You don’t seem yourself.
Catch a demon
In the mirror
Look again it’s you.
Just imagine your not real
What would you do?

Temp the sultan
Then burn the temple down.
Let it all out
Just spit it out.
**** your God
Just to make another one.

Spin the circle
Stay within the lines
You’re not who you think you are,
You’re just your father’s son.

I heard the voice
Calling me in.
I knew the choice was everything.
I did what was necessary, you can't pretend to know everything.

It’s gotten to far,
Out of your reach.
You can’t make a difference,
It’s not what you think.
You’re not who you think.

It doesn’t make sense,
It never did.
I’m starting to question everything.

Temp the sultan
Then burn the temple down.
Let it all out
Just spit it out.
**** your God
Just to make another one.

Spin the circle
Stay within the lines
You’re not who you think you are,
You’re just your father’s son.

Hold on friend
This is where it gets hard.
When the world feels like it’s breakable.
And you feel like a shard of glass,
Waiting to break into a million pieces.

No crown above your head
You were never worthy.
You were never pure.
You let your soul get away.

Now you tempt the sultan
Then burn the temple down.
Let it all out
Just spit it out.
**** your God
Just to make another one.

Spin the circle
Stay within the lines
You’re not who you think you are,
You’re just your father’s son.

Tastes Like Fire

Well you tried to put the fire out,
But it spread to the house.
And your starting to blame yourself,
Because you lit the match.

But the fire starts to look just like the sun,
You stared at as kid,
Dreaming of love.
You drink to forget,
But it just tastes like fire.
And it spreads until it burns you down.

You spread lies like the devil,
Whispered in her ear.
Told tales of love and desire,
Just like a story teller.
And she believed you like her father,
Would always keep her safe.
But he can’t protect her from you.
You drink to forget,
Everything you’ve done.
But it just tastes like fire.
Like you’re drowning in the flames.

You pray to devil again,
He just wants to be your friend.
God hasn’t answered in years.
You wait all night for day to come,
So you can find your way.
You didn’t mean to break her heart,
But some endings are dark.
So you light a fire,
So you can see your way through.
You drink to forget,
But it just tastes like fire.

You want to watch it spread!
You want to watch it spread!
You want to watch it spread!
You want to watch it spread!
You want to watch it spread!
You want to watch it spread!

Beautiful, Sad, Love Story

This was a tale as old as time.
A movie where every scene had a bad line.
Where every character dies.
And the hero never wins,
No matter how hard they try.
And love doesn’t win at the end.
I’ve seen this before,
I know how it ends.
Not a final kiss,
No “we can be friends.”
Just an awkward goodbye.
And a sad, lonely, few couple of nights.
And then maybe some more.
They don’t pick up the phone
And one day your ok,
With being alone.
You start to drink to forget.
Then start calling your friends.
You drink even more,
Starts to feel like a bag.
And you start to see her face.
And you hate that you are,
Who she said that you were.
The villain of your own movie.
This beautiful , sad, love story.
This wasn’t how you thought it would end.
With you all alone.

Playing with fire

Haven’t seen sunlight since long ago.
Shadows rule here,
In this kingdom of dark.
This place hasn’t been fun,
Since 1999.

I don’t see anyone laughing,
I don’t see children playing.
Their all stuck in their phones,
They’re all pretending.

It takes a war to make them look up.
But just for a moment, to say what for?
And their gone again,
Till the next missile launches.

They’re playing with fire,
And they’re gunna get burnt.
Let it all burn down,
Let it take this small town.

And their off again,
On a new quest to save someone.
But they don’t save a soul,
They just convince themselves.

And it goes on and on,
From dusk till dawn.
And it’s old and tired,
But they think they’re still young.

And let them never speak of this place again.
Let it all end,
And let them never speak of this place anymore.
Let’s forget about it,
This whole **** world.

Saw another school shooting on the news,
Why does it seem normal?
Why don’t I seem burdened?
How sick are we all?

I’d rather be dreaming,
I’d rather be blinded.
I don’t have the heart for the truth,
It’s all so grim.

I’d rather ignore it.
It’s so sad to take in.
I’d rather pretend.
It’s all a dream.

They’re playing with fire,
And they’re gunna get burnt.
Let it all burn down,
We’ll pray when it’s done.

Old Man

My old man ain’t around anymore,
He died of a heart attack all alone.
It’s a **** shame, I know.
I hardly remember his voice anymore.

I remember when he broke his leg crabbing,
We got to ride in an ambulance.
Id do it again just to hear you say,
Everything is gunna be ok.

My old man wasn’t lying,
When he said this world was harsh.
I’ve been burnt enough times,
To hold that **** close to my heart.

I didn’t plan on this pain,
That love leaves behind.
It’s a stain I can’t erase.
I try my best to keep this pace.

My old man would say,
**** what they say.
Just do your best and be true.
I love him, I know he loved me too.

I remember the call.
From my mom saying he wouldn’t wake up.
**** that day.
Nothing was the same.

I never saw the old man again.
His face is burned in my head.
I remember everything,
He told me, till this day.

Sin

Smoking my last cigarette
In the cold New Jersey wind.
I feel young again,
But I’m older than I think.
There’s alone
And then there’s all by yourself.
Leave those feelings,
Up on the shelf.
Take shot to feel warm,
Your heart was born to feel pain.
These ghost that haunt these halls,
They carry such a burden on them.
Kiss the love of your life,
And watch her leave.
She was never yours,
She sank her teeth.
Into your yellow skin,
You’re such a fool to believe,
This girl is filled with sin.
