I should try to convince you to stop smoking cigarettes
But I can't help but think you're precious with one hanging out of your mouth
I should wake you up
So I'm not here lying wide awake
But I can't help but keep my eyes locked on your perfection
I should leave
I should go
Before you decide to abandon me for her once again
But I can't seem to walk away

Looking in the mirror today
And my sunken dreadful eyes
Now were beaming with light and grace
The strange feeling of not being alone hit me out of nowhere
And now I am completely safe
The demons I saw
They turned into angels
And even on the coldest nights
I feel warmth
I was locked in a cage of hatred and lust
Now I am set free able to fly
Even with my damaged wings
It was cold when you left me,
You put a chill in me that God's hands never could,
Maybe it was just my own sick obsession with wanting to know your every curve,
Every word you never spoke cut so deep into my bones,
But God I loved you.

Poured my last shot of jack

I've been holding on to a past so dreary
Its time to sing a new song

Though memories are inked onto my soul
They're no longer on my mind
Brighter days, no longer in a haze
Is what I needed to find
