I'm so bad at goodbyes
But I could have said this one sooner
I need to cut ties
Yet the record shows I never can
My history is Marley
And I Ebeneezer
My own ball and chain
But I convinced myself I needed her
But these memories aren't worth memorizing.
The recollections mesmerizing
Revisiting music to remind me.
Now I only see blond as a winter album.
But I still don't know what to say
Who am I to you?
I was a pawn in your game.
Someone you could use
I think you prolly saw me the same.
Shoot out the light
Leave it dark in here.
Your body is transparent
I see through your every word
And I think that it's apparent
That I shouldn't fuck with youuuuu
What you did made me reclusive
Making me feel like I'm useless
How do I get through this
I say we do it together, gether
Gather round children
Gather round and let me tell you a story
Let me paint you a picture
Now

Two Week Fling

I wanna be your two week fling
I wanna see your everything
Let me feel warm from your embrace
Let me see all of your beauty’s Grace
Bless me with touch and I'll give back
There'll be no commitments or heart attacks.
Fondly remember then swiftly forget,
The weekends we shared and the ones we haven't shared yet.
I'll be your equal, Your lover, your heart.
You can be loving just after we start.
I feel no pressure, and you feel no sorrow
We can forget all about this tomorrow.
So I wanna be your summer fun
Tear down the winter and pull up the sun.
Let me paint pictures of beautiful skies,
And we can forget all our troubles and lies.
Let me be yours all throughout your days
I wanna understand all your strange ways.
For though you may see only simple type things,
I'll love your turmoil and all that it brings.
I wanna be your two week fling
Follow the stars and you know it won't sting
Let me protect you and love all you are
And I'll be your best friend no matter the harm.

It feels like it's been an eternity
Wandering, looking for purity
And I miss when it was just you and me,
But it's not. Not yet.
I feel not lonely, but sad to be alone
Thinking of all the flights we could have flown,
But alas, I'm too scared to move you from your throne
And I haven't. Not yet.
I was a boy, not a man or a child.
I had so much to learn with so little filed.
But finally I'm free, but still in exile
And I can't help but say that I miss you.
We were but hearts aching for one another
I was your lionheart and you were my lover
And I see that you haven't fallen for some other
Since the day that I fell for you.
I'm an outsider fighting the cold
Yet still I'm patient, or so I've been told.
I wanna scream out your name all in bold
So let us be lovely until we grow old.

The somber summer
Reminds of sob stories
Stop rolling back the days
I don't wanna speak to you anymore
I never wanna look you in the eyes again
Forget apologies
What you did was unforgivable
And I find it unbelievable
That you expect me to forget
But I haven't figured that out yet.
What I still don't know
Is the influence you were under
What made you feel this way?
What made you think any of that was ok?
I haven't forgotten
But I know in my heart
It's not your fault.
You didn't know what you were doing
Or what it would do to me
No matter how many times I feel angry
And how many times I feel sad
I'm still glad that it happened
Because at least now, I have something to write about.
8 years. 8 long years.
How can a man forget?

Dance with me
In the deep river breeze
Under the 4:10 moon
In the late afternoon.
You and me.
Living our fantasy.
Finding our destiny
And falling in love.
Wait and see.
We'll be afloat at sea
As happy as we can be.
When push comes to shove.
I promise you
There's nothing I'd rather do
Then sit here next to you
While you read and laugh.
I'm content
Living tax exempt.
In an old used tent.
In the woods with my woman
(Or man or whatever)
I love you.
I've always loved you.
But I've not always know you.
But I'm glad I do now.
Crazy.
I am so crazy.
But maybe just maybe,
I won't die alone.

(t)
You've left me
In a world of emotion.
It's so dark
And it's all out of focus.
You've left me
In a world of emotion
And I'm alone.
You've left me
In a pit of unloving
There's no light
All I see are clouds hovering
You've left me
In a room of reflection.
And I miss you.
(M)
You were hope
When I was lost for words
You were my last chance
And I was only a break.
You have left me
In a world of emotion
And I miss you.
(t)
You've left me
And my heart is unworthy
We aren't victims.
We've pained. We've both worried.
You've left me
With a heart full of nothing.
And I'm sorry.
You were hope
When I was lost for words
You were my last chance
And I was only a break.
You have left me
In a world of emotion
And I miss you.
(Both)
You were hope
When I was lost for words
You were my last chance
And I was only a break.
You have left me
In a world of emotion
And I miss you.
(OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo)

In pale blue lighting
You see your reflection
Your bloodshot eyes wander
Neglecting to mention
That maybe you fucked up
In killing him bluntly
You fall to the ground
Having fainted so suddenly
Do you remember
Do you remember his love?
Do you remember
Do you remember his love?
In pale blue lighting
A heart strains to beat
You rise from your slumber
You get on your feet.
The clothes that you're wearing
Are stained with his blood
You leave though, regardless
This night has been fun.
(Chorus)
In pale blue lighting
She stabs you to death
It feels like she likes how
You're losing your breath
She stares in the mirror
Then falls to the ground
And you die in envy
Of what she has found.

Bubblegum

What would it take
To make you smile?
I know you don't do drugs
You haven't for a while.
A cloud is following
You everywhere you go
I'm not in love with you
I just thought you should know
You're just too bubblegum
Too flavorless and dumb
You're just too easy to read and that's not what I need
You're just too bubblegum.
Why so depressed
When there's so much to do?
Lying in your bed
I cannot look at you.
Is it so much to ask
To see a fucking grin?
You know I cannot take
This mood that you've been in.
(Chorus)
I'm leaving you
Because the spark is gone
You're just a shell of yourself
You're not the one I want
Who cares if you're upset
As long as I'm better?
You're just a toxic mess
I never want you here
Again
(Chorus)

There will be no revolution.
Cause I can't find any solution.
What we've seen has been unspeakable
Can you hear me now? You're unreasonable.
I'm so tired of all your problems.
I don't want to see you cry.
You have trusted me, I failed you.
Would you just leave me here to die?
Will you try?
Oh try for me.
Please.
The television is fading.
I'm plagued by someone I can't see.
I'm in the rain here waiting.
Who am I supposed to be?
I've been laid down to rest before.
And I can't hear you anymore.
Is this my final breath of joyousness?
Or perhaps my requiem?
Can you see them?
Can you hear them?
Can you feel them?
I saw a ghost today.
It reminded me of someone's face.
So I got high to forget.
The things I know I will regret.
There will be no revolution.
There will be no dramatic scene.
I will be purified in good time
And you will all be next to me.

You say I'm not dead but I might as well be
Been locked here alone just feeling empty
I wish my fuckin friends would just accept me
So maybe I'm living an uncertainty
You keep hurting me
You keep turning me
From the man that I was into a living dream
But somehow it seems that I am lost at sea
Am I lost at sea
Watching the sky watching the clouds float by.
Watching the moon watching the stars all die
Watching the sun and wondering if she's
Left
What if she's gone? Does she love me yet?
Did she like me yet? Could she tolerate me?
Look past the past that I must bring with me?
Is it funny to her to sit and watch me bleed?
IS IT FUNNY TO HER TO SIT AND WATCH ME DIE?
But as she watches I notice the tears in her eyes
As she watches I notice the claims and the lies.
As she watches I notice that she also will die.
And now we're equal again. Wanna give it another try?

Hello again
Friend of a friend
Come sit with me awhile.
It's been so long
That you've been gone
And i have yet to smile.
I wasn't perfect
I wasn’t yours
And your heart’s not mine to break
So sit with me
For a minute’s ease
So my heart will stop its ache
(chorus)
Go away now
And leave me
Be at peace with yourself
Reality
Is fantasy
Endless tears come from myself
Lost I wander
Leaving you
And everything i loved
Kill me
And deceive me but
Remember me my love
(chorus)
Everything falls apart
I am alone at heart
Left me in the cold and dark
Awaken me my love, then part.

Requiem

You were my best friend
I get it
I know it had to end.
You could not go on
Being patient
Now I've killed you. Now you're gone.
Maybe I'm doomed
To being this way
Or Maybe there's hope for me
What do you say?
Where did our lives go?
Are they gone Now?
Are they lost beneath the snow?
December was so sad
It's been weeks now
Why do I still feel so bad?
I watch your tears in rain
Are you crying
Over you and me again?
I see that you've moved on
Goodbye friend
I'll miss you when you're gone.
She means more to you
Than I do
She means more to you
Than I do
She means more to you
Than I do
And I'm ok with that.

I can feel Your body on mine in the 12 am breeze
Its soft and warm, inviting and free
And I anticipate the part where I feel you freeze
And I am left cold and distant
Another winter night in paradise
I feel like parking lots are a good metaphor
For feeling lovesick and broken
When you're alone in one at night
It always feels so open
Cut to day and today is forever
And the moment you left is leaving never
I can say I'm in hell
But what does that mean to You?
Mean to You?
Now you're back and I feel lost
And I got my freedom, but at what cost?
Maybe I'm meant to be drifting
From one friend to the next
Making sure I never leave
Any emotions left
And it feels like grand theft
But my money is worthless
The silence is torture
Cause your voice was priceless
So I'll keep talking to your ghost
When I need a reminder
Of what you did.
