No choice in the matter, don’t let it spoil
Climbing the ladder, see you in the soil
Enjoy the myth, time doesn’t care about you
I’ll be here with the cleaning crew
Flowers in the alleyway
Bouquet in the trash
Waiting for the day
Sifting through the ash
Yearning for substance in another backslide
For every indulgence is something denied
Dissociate failures on and off
You made what you hate; a marathon at dawn
Flowers in the alleyway
Bouquet in the trash
Waiting for the day
Sifting through the ash

Finley's Trip

In your rain cloud, thinking in circles
False threats overexposed
Devastated, guilt ridden always
Ashamed of what you disclosed
Indecent, fury coming
You had to try your fatal end run
And in a train wreck, looking for something to help you out from under the gun
How much more can you really lose
Never change your ways
Drinking poison may help you soothe
Another dreadful day
Spilling your glass before noon
Blow em off you’re accident prone
Feeling hated among the people
You’ve grown to think as your own
Compensating for can’t even remember
Keep it up until you can’t talk
But your crime scene isn’t budging
All you’ve got is hopes outlined in chalk
How much more can you really lose
Never change your ways
Drinking poison may help you soothe
Another dreadful day

Sea of Hope

Trash truck banging
A part time actor
A grown man judging
His latest disaster
The trees are on fire
Can’t go home now
Climbing barbed wire
Has lost its charm somehow
Lost in the sea of hope
Drowning beside my boat
A childish dream you’ve put to death
Hands in the dirt I can see my breath
A phantom heart in your trophy chest
Bleeding out on the mattress
I’ve become the architect
Bruised and broken on the street
Last chance to give ‘em hell
When the ember’s gone I’ll be as well
Lost in the sea of hope
Drowning beside my boat

Pliers

She grabs your hand owned permanently from afar
But it’s ok ‘cause she’s got your same kinds of scars
She’d be the biggest fan of your imaginary band
But the smoke alarm is letting her go
Starting fires just to use the escape
Embraced with pliers you’re trying to relate
Symptoms returning
You’re repelling
And full of hate
Can’t shake it off, you’re the reason she’s always late
Starting fires just to use the escape
Embraced with pliers, you’re trying to relate

Shivering, sunlight burns my eyes
Taste in my mouth of a cursed reprise
Feet cramping, cold hands going numb
This bed my haven, the walls my love
Those wasted days
That we didn’t even know
With an overnight bag
And a mirror to show
Can’t see the sunrise anymore
Eyes still lit up like a lightning storm
Raining judgement down on me
Caught between a straw and a dream
Those wasted days
That we didn’t even know
With an overnight bag
And a mirror to show
Precious nights spent so carelessly
Chunks of time I can’t remember scare me
My life went on without me there
These wasted days all turn into years
Those wasted days will never be the same

Sunblock
03:21

My favorite part of the day is going to sleep
One step forward but already I wanna retreat
On the stairway to nowhere I gotta air out my brain
I just suffer in silence to keep myself entertained
Losing control and shutting down
Curtains drawn block out the sun
Tonight I’d try anything
Except for all my will is gone
Closing in from all angles claustrophobic dream
Everything around here reminds me of dying
And I’m tired of hiding so I don’t burden everyone
Just stuck in the basement can’t find a reason to go on
Losing control and shutting down
Curtains drawn block out the sun
Tonight I’d try anything
Except for all my will is gone

Puddle
03:13
|
|||
|
A puddle of what I used to be
Melted down and thrown out on the street
As cars pass by with one finger up
On the 101
Crushed up memories all gone
The earth is expanding, someday it’ll blow
With the ghosts of forgotten dreams
That don’t mean a thing
How can I stay on this road?
It all feels like a lifetime ago
That only ended yesterday
Now I’m a puddle of what I used to be
Woke up again at the crack of noon
Knew I didn’t want to exist so soon
On the downward spiral staircase
Not much left to take
With all my habits of disregard
Went flying back to the cracked sidewalk
To spend my nights awake pleading with the moon
Whyd you go so soon?
How can I stay on this road?
It all feels like a lifetime ago
That only ended yesterday
Now I’m a puddle of what I used to be

Alone
02:56

When you’ve driven everyone away
And you hate to see another day
You’re so exhausted go lay back down
In your personal hell you wear the crown
Terrified to answer the door
Can’t even peel yourself off the floor
What do you do
When you can’t change the tone?
What if they knew?
What it’s like so alone
Each day just feels like a burden
Leaving your heart an aching organ
Keep on killing all your pain
Spending your precious time in vain
Terrified to answer the door
Can’t even peel yourself off the floor
What do you do
When you can’t change the tone?
What if they knew?
What it’s like so alone

Head On
05:02

I’ve been running for so long
Until face down draped all in wrong
There’s no easy way
For things about to disappear
I turned away hiding in fear
Watching yesterday
The days just kept on flying by
We’ll never get back delicate time
It just slips away
And while my heart races my head
I lie moving in slow-mo
As it gets later
I’ve been livin behind this belief I’m doin something
But choosing momentary relief for forever haunting
Took too long to see through the brights and face it head on
But now I can’t close my eyes
It’s time to head into the storm, leave behind what’s known and warm
Gotta find a way
While regret spills from my eyes
I’ll be learning to drive blind
But I’m wide awake
So much suffering disguised
Getting closer with each road sign
Wishing sooner
I’d put aside selfish desire and shown up to ease the fight
But I stayed a loser
I’ve been living behind this belief I’m doing something
But choosing momentary relief for forever haunting
Took too long to see through the brights and face it head on
But now I can’t close my eyes

Only Home

I would find the time to be there for you
If I could see past all the lies and veils I’m sorting through
You’d be here in my arms, my head on your chest
But I hear sirens and passing cars
And how you love me the best
Chasing a storm
No joy and nothing warm
Stubborn and torn
You’re the only home I know
I should wash these sheets, it’s been four weeks
The more you push I pull
Like when you’re yelling in the street
Bout when your heart was full
And what does it take, what has to break?
To quit going through
With a smile that’s half erased
And a steel wool attitude
Chasing a storm
No joy and nothing warm
Stubborn and torn
You’re the only home I know

Tears
05:00
|

|
Aching all the time
So lost, I survive
A dagger stuck through the heart
This flood it follows
Shelter from the pain
Door’s locked keys inside
I walk alone
In bitter cold
Takes more than time
I can’t hide all these tears drowning mind
I carry on, I know you’re with me, I’ll be strong
Watching blue birds fly
A quiet place that reminds
A music box plays happy songs
Of this world you gave me
Sweet voice in my dreams
I’ll always hear you sing
I’ll be strong
A blazing son
With this river flowing
I can’t hide all these tears drowning mine
I carry on, I know you’re with me, I’ll be strong
I see your face in my dreams
You smile at me
and carry me
Holding your flowers tight
Show love to me
Help me see light

Thank You

Couldn’t comprehend
Support you had to lend
For sorrow about to occur
You walked me to the door
And Stayed up on the couch
Together keeping watch
Tryin to ease her pain
No Waking agony
Thank you for always holding my hand
And making me smile through all the tears
You ran with me down a one way road
darkest night you pointed out the stars
Devastation day
Sat in the kitchen with me
your forehead touching mine
Arms around me as I cried
Screaming in my sleep
You held me when I couldn’t breathe
Ran your fingers through my hair
Sang “I’ll always be right here”
Thank you for always holding my hand
And making me smile through all the tears
You ran with me down a one way road
Darkest night you pointed out the stars
Saw tornados pass
Up From the basement
Slid backwards on ice
Thought we’d seen the end
