I didn't have much to say
When I called you up the other day
I just wanted to see how you were
And maybe try and understand the way
You feel today

I am sure you're on the road
With a full car load
Electricity bursting from your fingertips
Chasing the music that once flowed
We're all thankful for what you showed

I know you're not used to being beat
It's not as easy now standing on your own two feet
You breezed through life
But now something inside of you must eat
On the phone I hear defeat

I thought about all the time we missed
About the last time my venom hissed
I was thinking about how everyone is dying
And maybe it's time you start that bucket list
Just don't do it with a clinched fist

I look at myself and all I see is you
I know you know the same is true
Being too proud got you nowhere
But don't let it ****, you can't be through
This isn't fair, this type of mean brew

I am going to miss you when you're gone
You've been a light brighter than the sun
You did it to yourself over the years
Or maybe this is actually something won
It's the end of the show, and it must go on

Going to your funeral now feeling so confused
I lost the best friend I ever had
Everything goes away
Like a child I cried
Driving down the highway through the hot sunny day
The perfect day for this kind of pain
Look at all these people holding flowers in their hands
They're going put the flowers on the box
That's holding you.

Going to your funeral and feeling hollow
Thinking about the days when we hung out behind the school
Everything goes away
I knew that you were not insane
Trying to cope with this world
You had it all going for you but I understand why
I smile like it's nothing but I scratch wounds that will not heal
Look at the people with heads down in their hands
With everything I feel, I know I missed out

Standing in front everyone at your funeral, feeling like a fool
Telling them stories that may not have happened
Everything goes away
You knew best about suicide and smack
Trying to run from the ***** and bats
You just crumbled and burned all alone
I was a bad friend and let you die
Too selfish to see or care
I miss you now

I know I might be forgiven
But I don't know how
I don't trust much what anyone says
Just seems to be another lie I used once before

A little late to fix another drink
So I'll sit here and watch the sun come up
Listening to the dark sing me to sleep
Waiting for dreams to take me somewhere else

I sold it all to pay the man
I have no coin to pay Charon
I'll wander the shores for years to come
It's a life I've welcomed and a life I've won

Well I can't run much more
That smile I used to adore
Tried loving her best
Now I've got to get a little further west

Since I've been gone
I've done less right than wrong
No worse than most of the rest
Now I've got to get a little further west

My friends don't need me anyway
They get along just fine they say
I may be worse than the rest
Now I've got to get a little further west

Out west is the only blue sky I've seen
This big ol river wash me away clean
Empty thoughts is all I have left
Now I've got to get a little further west

Life's confusing and so am I
You better give me something
So I don't die

Give me something for the soul
Something to fill the void
Of this this empty room
Before I check out, before I check out

Life is good or so they say
I've created my own obstacle's
And they're in my way

Give me something for the soul
Something to fill the void
Of this this empty room
Before I check out, before I check

Everything happens for a reason
Except for the lives I'll ruin
I wish I could explain away my treason

Give me something for the soul
Something to fill the void
Of this this empty room
Before I check out, before I check

I'm cancer, and there aint no cure
They'll find out soon
What a shameful adventure

Give me something for the soul
Something to fill the void
Of this this empty room
Before I check out, before I check

Fake it enough just try
You better give me something
So I don't die

Stepping on a rusty nail
Showing the baby sitter the back yard
Went straight through my Ninja Turtle Flip-Flops

I looked up at the sky last night
I think I saw a woman

Walking out back to the tree with the vines
Dogs barkin' and mesquitos bite
Don't tell mom if I fall

I looked up at the sky last night
I think I saw a woman

Walking down the street to the church
Meeting up with Zach for a smoke
Got it stashed in a lock box behind

I looked up at the sky last night
I think I saw a women

Life is funny, well peculiar I guess
You think I got it all figured out
Then why am I such a ******* wreck

I looked up at the sky last night
I think I saw a woman

An abandoned mine shaft
On the top of a blown up mountain
Throwing myself into traps

I looked up at the sky last night
I think I saw a woman

What have I become?
I focus on my pain
It's the only thing that's real
I hold on to it like it's my only friend.
My lies have become my truth
I cut myself to see the color of something true.
What have I become?

I'd give it all away
You can have my kingdom of hurt
You are someone new
But I am still there.

What have I become?
I will let you down just as I have always done.
I tried to start over thousands of miles away
It's no different than it was before.
I can't seem to shake myself
I follow wherever I go.
What have I become?

I'd give it all away
You can have my kingdom of hurt.
You are someone new
But I am still there.

What have I become?
Full of broken thoughts
Desires that will never be real.
Everything is fragile
I dare not let you in.
Sooner or later I'll have to cut myself down
What have I become?

I'd give it all away
You can have my kingdom of hurt.
You are someone new
But I am still there.
