Goodbye my closest friend
In a few days
You’ll be moving far away
I only have known you for a year
It’s felt like a life time
Now it’s time to say goodbye
There are tears in my eyes
Before you go
There is something you need to know
Thank you

Thank you
Before we met
I drank and smoked to force thin smiles
I’ve dropped the smokes for jokes
And beer for laughter
You taught me to dance
You gave me a second chance
You pushed me on a stage
letting my voice out of its cage
I can say anything to you
But goodbye
So instead I’ll  write you poems and letters
And talk to you when I can
So I don’t ever
Have to cry goodbye

No tears creep down my cheek,
Am I some sort of freak
Why can't I get this pain past my teeth
Must I pull this dagger from it's sheath
To sink it deep
So I can sleep
Visit heaven and hell
Until I hear the morning bell
Pulling me from dream
To hot steam
Washing away the bad memories
At school they throw questions like Jeopardy
Stuck in this small desk
Taking another useless test
Another bell rings I'm out the door
Walk down the streets past the poor
I drop my mask
Is my life just a list of tasks
Finally stumbling home
Just to study ohms
Am I just another nations clone
Am I afraid to die alone
No tears creep
I am a freak
Must this pain stay in my chest
Will this dagger sink into flesh
So I can finally rest

Light another stick
Smoke burns her throat
Mind goes numb, pain fades away
But the smokes burn down
So she picks up a bottle
To fight her ****** battle
But bottles run dry
She drops the bottle for pills
Walking dark streets to pay bills
Her hands hold a needle
A fatal mistake
Laying on the bathroom floor
Limp as a snake
Now she is dust
Punishment for her drug lust

Why do I follow you like a pet?
I feel like I have a collar around my neck
You’d drag me to a cliff
You beat me with a leather whip
Why do I follow you like a pet?
Is it because I want this pain
Better than being left in the rain
Or Is it because I’m just another man
Too distracted by your beauty to give a ****
Or is it because...
Sometimes kind words slip
From your soft lips
Every time I see you I almost trip
But I’m afraid that, one day
You’ll beat me into the ground
Or leave me at a pound
