Live. Die. Repeat.

And leave behind the ones you love.

Live. Die. Repeat

Release your soul to soar above.

Live. Die. Repeat.

You gave it your best try.

Live. Die. Repeat.

Just please let me say “goodbye .”

Live. Die. Repeat…

Sad? Don’t eat.
Upset? Grab a drink.
Hell, do both
And try not to think.

Stay up late? Work in 2 hours.
Angry? Get laid.
Do whatever it takes
To get yourself paid.

But in the end, don’t worry about me.
This too will pass, because I want to be free.

My inner child
Is still such an angry, little
*****.
Do we grow out of our angst?

This glass of whiskey warms me
On the nights you said you couldn't.

Close your eyes.
Pretend you're somewhere you're not
Maybe even someone you're not.

Think of something that gets you high,
Makes you fly,
Lets you soar through the sky.

That's where you'll find me.
A ray of shine on a cloudy day
Offering a hand to hold.

But it's a mistake,
You begin to shake,
And it's your soul I take.

Her voice was music
Ok everything about her was.
The way she moved:
A liquid dance
That slipped through your fingers
On a warm day.

But that's just it
She always slipped away.
Right when you thought
You had a hold of her
She would just be gone.

It seems I can only run so fast
From these demons intent on chasing me.

Only these demons have human faces,
And they do stupid human things

My screams do not deter them
My cries go unnoticed

And I'm not a strong runner.
We can only run from our past for so long.
