On the edge of it all
Looking down at everything
The air feels thinner

I'm really on solid ground
But I can feel myself about to fall
Like standing on the side of a skyscraper
my back against a wall

Why can't I just be laying down
looking up at the sky?
A night sky, watching fireflies
Realizing how they ignite the fire
in my eyes

I can feel the pain before it comes
It's such a sad trait
Don't want to be consumed by hate
I just want let it go

Things are a little different
Change is inevitable
But if I'm able to take a breath at a time
Maybe I'll overcome

I'm swimming just like the sea
I'm not as fast as the current cause I much more faster
I'm much more faster
I'm going with the flow of the wind
It goes on till the morning after
the morning after

I'm counting all my blessings from the broken jar
that kept all my sins
I'm trying to forget the level of fear that I'm feeling
within
I hide the truth from you so I know I'm your favorite
liar
Feeding your heart's desires

There is no fate for what we make
I can't agree that I am the same
You feel like you don't belong, another endless
problem
A shoe box filled with all our issues but we can't
find the time to solve them

Why can't we tell our friends the things that
can't be changed?
Why can't the tears from the past be wiped off
from your face?
And even while I'm home I'm trying to figure
out where I am
So I lay in my room knowing my hearts in your
pocket while your lockets in my hand

I'm crying from the words that I'm trying to
say
Every word is a tear of a thousand regrets that I
have to repay

I know this now, that to be with you
will **** us both
I can't undo the things I've felt
The world we know leaves us in flames
I will not let you watch me as I burn
So go on now, with your locket around your
neck and my heart in your pocket

There is no fate for what we make
I can't agree that I am the same
You feel like you don't belong, another endless
problem
A shoe box filled with all our issues but we can't
find the time to solve them

Don't ever look back, just see the truth even
through my lies
I'm crying with my words but screaming with
my eyes
Feeding your hearts desires
I close my eyes to rest as I become part of the
*fire

Every morning is a struggle
feeling miserable
unbearable
That is until I turn things on
hot and heavy
The feeling of excitement
A smile under my face
I'm so aroused
It gets hotter
It gets more steamy
The ******, it's done
My day can start
All thanks to my love who
makes me whole
My coffee.

Laying on my bed
The other side is cold
Waiting for her to lay with me
The touch of her hands
The smell of her hair
Doesn't have to be intimate
But it is anyway
I have yet to still find a 'her'
Until then
The struggle is real
Gabby Aquino Dec 2013
I had every reason to pack up all
my stuff
And just leave
Cause every morning I felt like
I was never good enough
It's just me
I never really had it
figured out
But **** no one really knew
what I was about
Just the black sheep that couldn't
fit in with the crowd
Couldn't really deal with the
anger and pain at once
I need to stop thinking of myself
in the back seat with cuffs
Cause I see myself as the one with
the 9mm in his hand
No way out, a clean slate not a sense
of hope or second chance
I feel myself laying in the bottom
of mud
Why me?
When everyone on the streets
is making money selling drugs
No one took the time to catch me
when I fell
Should've known better, I'm already
living in hell
All I ever see is people crying
tears of red
People **** each other everyday
I don't need that thought process
in my head
Jenny was a sweetie but she
let herself go
The whole time she was sticking
needles I didn't even know
What the f*
She had me, she was never
all alone
A single mom, she was pregnant on
the floor
I knew I had the right feeling
but I wasn't at the door
It's hard to see all the people
from my school
All my friends doing nothing
really nothing they can do
No school or work, nothing given
life is so cruel
Can I really blame life?
Is it ignorance or a right?
If I can go back in time I'd
give it everything I had
Give it all I got with the level
that I'm at
Without the second guess and
sacrificing everything I have
Could've been a brighter light
Instead I'm sitting with my dad
whiskey on the rocks
Same thing every night lecturing me
about the life I almost had.

I've never had a reason to keep this up
But I've got a reason to say I've had enough
How could I ever be the right guy
The one who knows what the greatest love feels like

I'm counting all the sins that I have done
Looking in the mirror, the animal I've become
I'm looking forward, no reason to look back
Running out of time, trying to fill up all these gaps

Tell me now, how could I ever break your heart
Like a double-edge sword, the words you say are razor sharp
Come clean now and I swear I'll go away
Cause I can't believe every single little word you say

I'm jumping high but I keep on falling low
I'm screaming loud with nothing left to show
Standing still, but I'm running out so wild
I'm looking back to all the things that make you smile

Who would have thought what we had would never get so old
I grew up poor, but I cherished your heart like gold
I'm done crawling on my hands and knees for you
You ran away before I had a chance to say, "I do."

No!

I'm sick and tired of feeling all alone
Going through the nights walking on my own
Searching for you, a place to call my home
Reaching high running from my all time low
Burning bright, but I guess it goes to show
Who I am, the only sorrow that I know

Can't you see what you do to me?
I still love you, but I'm just so blind to see
It's all too much for me to know
That I can't find the strength to let you go

In my mind, going crazy from all these things
Playing my guitar, my fingers bleeding from these strings
So much anger that makes us feel confused
Blame it all on me even though I have no excuse

My love plagued you, but you know it's not a bad disease
I feel you running back, there's something that you believe
Well here I am, come sweep me off my feet
Cause you know you're the only one who still believes in me

I'm counting all the days when you'll come back
Even though we're happy, we'll still be wearing black
It's a color that we both just seem to love
So much of you that keeps me standing up

I'm head banging to the music that you sing
My hands are better everytime I play these strings
We are who we are, learn from our mistakes
I'm better now, I'm stronger, nothing left to break

I'm proud to say I have a heart to call my own
For every gal out there that should never feel alone
I have her heart that I can call my home
I'm flying high and I'm looking down below
You have to believe in the love that you still know
Cause there's no reason for you to let it go
Gabby Aquino Feb 2011
In a sense I've seen the darkest light
Wipe away the sorrows in my eyes
Give me back my lungs to breathe
The path I chose that I can't see

I am the harbinger of my demise
The sounding sadness of her cries
I'm counting crows that fly away
They hurt the ones that I can't save

My senses fail, I feel no more
My body washes to the shore
I wake up to this world alone
Cause it's my fault, I'm on my own

The wind that's blowing through my hair

I'm running fast to see a face
Bring me a soul for once to save
Escape away from this dying place

Is this Hell or am I just scared?

That's when you said you don't hate me
The things you said that could break me
The things you've said that's all to hear
Bringing out my deepest fears

Rip away our darkest paths
The hope we keep and have to grab
Here I am, the sufferer
I never could get enough of her

She saved me once, she will this time
The choice to bring her back with my own eyes
She is my savior and I'm her will
I will not make the choice to shoot to ****

Return the world the way it was
Ignore the pain that hurts, I know it does
Our wrists that show no painful scars
The rising strength that shows us who we are

And I know that we will stand again
The ones beside me that I call my greatest friends
The pride that glows right through our hands
The heart I have that shows me who I am
