Waking up dead
With an empty head
Not a single thought
To be had
They're all out today.
I'm overwrought
And under thought
With pretty lies
My love is bought
And then thrown away.
I've got my disguise
I've got my lies
They're indiscernible
To untrained eyes
It's like child's play.
Waking up dead
With an empty head
All that's in store
Is going back to bed
Its just not my day.

The curse of complacency
Is all in my mouth,
I'm choking
On its bittersweet taste.
I want to cut the ties
To the sandbags holding me down.
I want to float away
Across the seas,
Drink up countries
To quench my wanderlust.
I want to discover the mysteries
Each continent has to hold.
To relish
In uncertainty,
But complacency
Is just so comforting.

She was a girl bogged down
Stuck in a mire
When she climbed she fell
She couldn't get any higher
But when she falls she lands
Like a bird on a wire
Cause she's got something within her
Within her there's fire
So she cut her ties
She's never coming back
She's riding her train
To the end of its track
Where she knows no one
Not a Jill or a Jack
And no one
Knows what she lacks
But with no destination
She's stuck wandering
No visible future
She's stuck pondering
About the potential
She's busy squandering
So without any answers
She's stuck wondering

Left black and blue,
Coloring outside the lines,
Her skin's what she bleeds through
And her  eyes are  the tiny windows
You can see through.
She wanders the streets,
Searching for someone
Who eye's she meets.
Searching for someone,
Someone sweet.
Plagued by violence,
She lived her life
Trapped in silence,
Til, coated in bruises,
She began her defiance.
Beaten and broken
She's left her past
And pain unspoken,
Til, coated in bruises,
Her rebellion was awoken.

I used to have a heart
But the streets stole it
I'm no longer a poet
Just drugged with a pen
Hitting rock bottom time and again
Its hard out here
So I grab another beer
And drink my pain away
Til a sunnier day,
If it ever comes
Til then the drugs will numb
Me and my bad decisions
And all my artistic visions
Til I'm no longer a poet
Just drugged with a pen

You've been the preacher
Baby I've been your pulpit
You've been my teacher
On just how to take a hit
I fall for you
You say you love me this amount
But its never true
You broke my heart way more times than I can count
So I'm moving on
I'm finally quitting you
I wrote this song
Just to tell you I am through
Now I'll fix my make up
And go out on the town
Its just a break up
I don't need you around
But you're a master
At heart manipulation
So its a disaster
To try and end this relationship
Baby you're my vice
I always crawl back to you
Its my pride I sacrifice
When I lie and say we're through

I hear my train coming
Chugging down the track
I hear my train coming
I won't be looking back
I hear my train coming
To take me away from you
I hear my train coming
But I don't know where its going to
I hear my train coming
Its taking me where I can shine
I hear my train coming
And I know I'll be just fine
I hear my train coming
To take me far away
I hear my train coming
I'm finally leaving today
