Another day and its falling apart
I try to fight it but it never changes
I try to rearrange but it stays the same
Can't explain away these words
Or how I can't complain
But there's these memories
They just won't let me go
(Let me go)

So I drain myself of you
Feel you letting go
Tear me all down
And throw it all away
I drain myself of you

I've bled for too many miles
And these lungs are too full of sin
It's crashing down around
All the mistakes I have made
And all the words I could never say
(Could never say)

So I drain myself of you
Feel you letting go
Tear me all down
And throw it all away
I drain myself of you

It's crashing down around
All the mistakes I have made
And all the words I could never say
(All the words I could never say)

Another day and its fallen apart
I tried to fight it but it never changed
I tried to rearrange but it always stayed the same
Can't explain away these words
Or how I can't complain
But there's these moments
They just won't let me go
(Let me go)

I drain myself of you
I drain these lies of you
I drain myself of you
I drain these lies of you
I drain..
Drain...

I write tragedies
Because I haven't found
My happy ending
Brandon Sep 2013
There was a time
Not too long ago
We were close
Hold me near
On winters touch
It became too much

I don't
Know you anymore

Blinded sight
You were right
Who was I
Just a fading light

I don't
Know you anymore

When we fell
It was never far
When we grew
It was further apart

I don't
Know you anymore

There was a life
We both bled
Never thought
These bodies run dry
With summers kiss
We'd lose our bliss

I don't
Know you anymore

That one time that I called you
Late at night, later than usual
When you were in the hotel room
Laying next to somebody that wasn't me
I just wanted to tell someone
That I had a good night;
Sorry I chose you.

I shake these insecurities and scratch away my skin
Close my eyes and bite deep until I bleed again
I know I'm never too good to remember but you'll never forget
The taste of it still lingers on nights strewn with hearts on fire
I cross my heart and hope to live
It's a disease I'm sure but I'm sick anyway
This passion is violent the way love repents
And darkness closes in on me while I'm in daylight
I can't see but I'm open to your opinion
I can't strand this imagination on ancient shores
They crash to me like ghosts and demons drunk on moonshine
Freedom is another word we made up
But forgot to put meaning behind it
I've stitched myself to so many pieces I'm bound to unravel eventually
Will you sew me back up or have you given up on this jigsaw puzzle
It's been so long I've forgotten the words and what any of them meant
I'm so alone it doesn't matter does it

She's got a pair of cowboy boots
To accentuate that short sun dress
Got a shotgun in her pick up truck
And fishing poles in the back
Her skins kissed by the sun from hours out in it

Shes a northern belle
With a laugh like a rebel yell
She works hard and plays harder still
Twirls her long blonde hair around her finger playing cute
Wears a smile on her face
you know she's up to no good

Where's all my country girls
Kicking it with their fishing poles
Where's all my country girls
Knocking a beer back while its still cold
Where's all my country girls
Four wheelin it thru the mud
Where's all my country girls
Out lookin for some fun

She knows every tune
To ever country song
Knows how to skin a buck
And gut the fish she catches
Whistles Dixie
When that dinner bell rings
She's got camo lingerie
For those late nights out camping

Shes a northern belle
With a laugh like a rebel yell
She works hard and plays harder still
Twirls her long blonde hair around her finger playing cute
Wears a smile on her face
you know she's up to no good

Where's all my country girls
Kicking it with their fishing poles
Where's all my country girls
Knocking a beer back while its still cold
Where's all my country girls
Four wheelin it thru the mud
Where's all my country girls
Out lookin for some fun
This isn't really that good besides a few lines but it was fun to write. I got a kick anyway.

I try to fight it.
So disgraceful.
I try to hide it.
So distasteful.
It's all so ****** up anyway.
A thousand places.
My mind erases.
Each of them.
Couldn't be better than the last.

I've haven't been able to write these words.
A figment of my former life.
I will peel this skin away.
I want an escape.

I'm feeling low.
Such a hunger.
I can't satisfy.
Can't do it better.
If its all the same.
But I'll try it anyway.

This ****** up taste is.
So disgusting.
I savor these moments.
So disturbing.
You're so ****** up anyway.
A thousand faces.
My mind erases.
Each of them.
Couldn't be uglier than the last.

I've haven't been able to write these words.
A figment of my former life.
I will peel this skin away.
I want an escape.

But you.
Keep me caged.
