Runaway
Ajax Jan 2020
Time for the I love you’s to end and the I hate you’s to begin
But the difference between being different was you and I
Sins living on the shoulders, hearts living on the sleeves
******* feelings, time to make a run for the keys
Relationship needing a start over, time for a do over
Start, middle, end, wishing I could head for the roundabout again
Needing to pull a u-turn, both needing that closure
But it’s been years, you and I are now both frozen over
Hitting the freeway throwing out your luggage
Too busy worrying about myself to care about your Babbage
Mishaps after regrets, can’t help but regret some of my mishaps
Time to Hit the gas, we couldn’t go on anymore after our crash
To busy wiping off my sins, feeling free again
Broken love strapped to our veins, I’m sorry about all the pain
Promise after promise but I never wanted to change

Game Of Love
Ajax Oct 2019
You and I, him and her, we are all the same
But nun of you walk around covered with my blame
Slowly turning it into fame, looking at an empty picture frame
Wondering who started the flame, but it always ended the same
You knew my name, before you started the love game
I knew your pain before you even let me into your brain
It was covered in a cloud of rain, I tired to help and change
But before I could, I was already sitting on that plane
It felt like someone had put us one the luggage exchange
We started plummeting, we hit the ground running
I made promise after promise, I told you I’d do this, I told you I’d do that
Then I went and told you I was coming back
I told you that to make you feel better, I was trying to give you hope
Trying to give you the energy and courage to cope
But Then your hope went up in a puff of smoke
But *******, I had to stay happy and humble
I couldn’t afford to stumble otherwise it would be over
From a lover to someone who ducked for cover
From being someone you cared about, to being no one
Together, break up, together break up then a Couple again
One hell of a story, We wondered how it’d all end
I suppose we did, now goodbye old friend

Teenager
Ajax Oct 2019
I'm nothing but an scarred face
No brain, no feelings
Just a hopeless train wreck of a case
At least that's what you all see in me
I find it hard to ignore what people really think about me
I'm just afraid of what I'll turn into and be
With all these thoughts and ideas running through my head
Some days deep inside I feel like I should be dead
Other days I wish everyone would just disappear
Then I'll really know what it's like to be alone
Soon I'll be wishing for everyone to slowly reappear
Right in front of my eyes so I won't be forever alone
I’m over everything and everyone
Life is a giant Manipulation game
Walking around hurting people and escaping the blame
People hurt each other and I'm fed up
Im over it, I'm on the verge of ******* giving up
There's to many people walking around with fake masks on
I'm scared of taking mine off Showing what's really happening deep down
I'm scared of what people will think of me
If everyone finally got to meet the real me

Fading Memory
Ajax Oct 2019
Remember walking hand and hand up that gravel road
Do you remember last summer when you kissed me?
I wonder if you ever miss me
Always standing up for the family name
While everyone was putting it in the dirt and kicking it to shame
Wanting to send you a message everyday
always wondering what the hell should I say
Always finding myself hitting the back space, acting like a disgrace
Who am i to go and ruin the happiness that you've finally found
I then put my phone down and try move on
Always having you living in the back of mind on rewind
Its slowly starting to make me go mad and blind
I remember walking away from you that day
I remember it was a cloudy Monday
Opening your letters on that flight home
Shot you that message when I landed through my phone
Tears running down my face
As I hide them in my carry on case
Walking off that plane hiding my face
Smiling through all the crying
Trying to not look people in there eyes
Hiding my emotions through a number of lies
But now i don't know what to do
Like, it's time to let her go
It was too long ago
Time to give it up and move on
Finally put that phone down
and walk away and live again
Move on from all that pain
But Right now I'm turning our story into music
I'm standing behind this mic just loosing it
Never asked you if I could share our story
But you left me out in the cold
As if I wasn't good enough and was getting too old
It was you, who always believed in me
But now you and I, see what I don't see
I wonder if you remember me? Or am I just that fading memory

Remember me?
Ajax Oct 2019
Do you remember me…
Sitting in my chair
I looked to my right, Theres no one there
I looked to my left, there was you
With your freckled face and ***** blonde hair
Just laughing and smiling in your dark blue chair
Always saying you were never perfect
No one ever is in retrospect
Always saying you never deserved me
You were the only one ever worthy
Always wishing there was two of me
One with you, another with my family, Just you and me
We went from sitting in the classroom learning about democracy
To sitting on your bedroom floor playing monopoly
Never knowing how to play it properly
You could always unmask the real me
Everyone trying to get me to vent to them, acting like they know me
Never knowing what I have completely gone through
But you were different though
I Went to all your music shows, not just for fun
But to hang out and see you ***
Wish I could turn back time
and throw you that well deserved life line
You and I were both broken around the same time
I always showed you how much I cared
But i also know at times it felt like i had disappeared
I wish it hadn’t, I was just scared
The distance you and i were both ill prepared for
Now that you’re gone, you've moved on
Scared to ask you, always blinded by fear
Venting to each other like we were both needing some sort of repair
Im sorry if i ever questioned you on what you were going through
I tried my hardest to recuse you
Deep down knowing I was the real issue..

Black and white
Ajax Oct 2019
I tried to reach your expectations
But all it did was put me into frustration
Felt like I had been locked away, with the key thrown away
Locked away just watching the day go by
day by day, covered in dust. I didn't know what to say
Dust covered, body decay. What the hell should I say
How do I even say it, If I say it he'll loose it
If I try take it back, all he’ll do is use it and abuse it
We used to be able to share and care, But then I turned it to ****
Everything turned black and white, I didn't know who was right
Fight or flight came over me that lying in bed that night
I didn't know if I should fight or run from him again
Thought he was my friend, but then again I can be wrong
I wonder what he’ll do if he ever reads this
If he’ll ever forgive me for what I did to him
His life over mine, I was just in a bad time
I spun his life into lies and I put him on the line
My life over his starting making me go blind
Had his trust, then if faded away like rust
Every lie I made up was a kick in the dust
I know he wont forgive me, but trying is a must
I now talk to him day and night
Just trying to make things right
Im starting to talk to him again as a friend
Hoping hating each other wouldn't be our end

Time and time again I tried to look past the lies
Time and time again I always asked myself why
Why'd you do it, why'd you do it, just why…
Started dating awhile ago, we went and rushed into it
Like little kids trying some new ****
Thinking, oh yeah this is gonna last
Month in, then it ended and shattered like glass
Then going and spreading lies, having to sit beside you in class
Wondering how much time had passed
I didn't even want to see your face
It was never the right time or place
You're a party girl, while I'm just a simple country boy
The kinda guy who doesn't go around saying, who shall I destroy
It was funny when you acted like I was a golden boy
Telling me I was a good kid. Its not you, its me
Could've just told me that you wanted to be free
But then again, I did get one hell of a story
I could abuse the story, But thats not me. Ill turn it into poetry
Lets get down to this forgiveness business
Would I say I forgive you? to an extend, yes
You were just going through some ****, been there done that
I just don't know how much trust i should give you back
You did just take it and throw it around, thats a fact
Maybe next time we talk, I’ll actually give you some eye contact
But right now, trust is what we lack
That’ll take time for you to earn back
Thought I should make things a little less black and white
But right now, I’ll see you under the next spotlight…

Battles Within
Ajax Oct 2019
Unable to feel, unable to heal, unable to mend
Looking around for a new friend
But It crept up on the lifeless body, like a plague
Lungs started collapsing, oxygen grasping
Feeling every thought, every pain, it felt life ending…
A mind at war ready to surrender…

A Losing battle of emotions destroyed by fear
Body on strings wishing it could finally disappear
Controlling puppeteer, filling a body of agony
Screaming help from the start, but the heart was drowning
Wanting to feel free, but demons in the brain
Attacking lifelines of nerves, turning into a war zone

Falling through levels of sanity, ripped from the body
Turning imperfection into the power of its perfections
A life, a heart, a body now finally ripped apart
Scars unable to be seen, just felt through the misery
Demons on the prowl, ready to **** but unable to feel

A body remaining in pain with demons locked in the brain
Hiding the key was its goal, now give back the body
Plague of illness taken over, people see the pain
Scars now plague an empty canvas of skin and blood
Running down arms from the self-harm…

Unable to understand the battle of illness
Evil within all people, but only certain bodies can heal
A body running out of time, slowing dying out
Bodies live, bodies die, but this one went out too young
The mind is the bodies relentless enemy.

Sympathy being given, eulogies being written
Generations in pain, like blood leaving the veins
A body now free with people mourning the loss
Now able to feel, now able to heal, now able to mend
Looking around for a new friend once again…

— The End —
