if you yourself can't handle
the words i alone am about to spew
then you will find that there are exists
to the right and left of you
because not everyone can handle
the words that come out from my lips
cause I'm the least interesting controversial figure
on this side of the apocalypse

Hey baby
I don't know what's gotten into you
I just hope you're listening
When I want you to
Hey baby
My poetry was made for this
Each passing day another kiss
I never wanna let go
Promise me
Promise me you won't let me
Break your heart
Cause I'm not worth the trouble
Find yourself a new start
Hey baby
Though my words may be jagged
My heart still melts for your voice
I just hope that I can take it
Hey baby
I'll love you till I can't no more
Cause we may not be a fairytale
But I know that we’ll get close
(Chorus)
Hey baby
Where did all the love go
Where did all the passion lead to?
You say you don't know
Promises
Promises that go nowhere
The lift off from the ground runs smooth
I'll leave into the air
(Chorus)
fly away lover boy
fly away

I won't keep you waiting,
I'll fly away
though my voice may be straining,
I'll fly away
I never wanna hurt you with
the things that I may say
so I'll just fly away

songs about you
04:15

I wrote another
song about you
Even though I know
You'll never hear it
And I can write a hundred
Songs about you
Even though I know
They're just for me
So let me paint a picture
A soliloquy I can never hope to give away
From now on you're a stranger
Your chapter is on a different page
So I can write hundred
Songs about you
But you'll never know
I went out wandering
A path that I used to know
The road was worn a weary
Yet I didn't know which way to go
Now nothing feels familiar
Yet I know, not a thing has changed
A second path has formed here
And they both go their separate ways

under my skin
05:20
|
|||
|
More often than not i feel naked when clothed
The light making tapestries between all the folds
And cold is a feeling, an emotion, a friend
The only one there when the rest have left.
A part of me loves all the nights spent alone
Regardless of those I talk to on my phone
And a human connection is appreciated
But I can't take the small talk, the fake smiles, the rest.
Under the skin lies another one
Waiting for a chance to come out
Greet him, you'd like him
Come curl up inside him
Cause under my skin lies another one
The razor blades skip cross the strings of pianos
The river bed, restless, consumes other fellows
And the shallow waters are rising to meet you
The rainfall a glimmer in the eyes.
A caramel voice echos beautiful passages
As I'm writing in pain of a sadistic masochist
And the last car to pass has headlights on a deer
They grow nearer and nearer and nearer and nearer
(Chorus)
Who are you?
Who am I?
Where will we be
When we die?
Who are you?
You aren't me.
My reflection
I can't see

ink

People love to glorify
They talk up and romanticize
But the writers turn a blind eye
To the act.
The youth fucked up, they fantasize
No time for rest, say no goodbyes
Cause the writers turn a blind eye
To the permanence.
Too few understand
The peril
As self hatred falls out
Through the pen
I'm just tryna reach out
It's terrible
How many drowning in ink
How many drowning in ink
My friends all joke about their stains
Imbalances within their brains
And how the writers shun their claims
Of the act
The kids are dropping every day
In far too similar ways
But nobody wants to hear their claims
Of the act
The parents love, but what's enough
And who is gonna call the bluff
When the writers choose to snuff the love
With the act
The train of thought does not distract
From how short they will likely last
And the writers chose to shun the facts
Of the permanence.
(Chorus)
Formulaic
We allow them to suffer
Formulaic
Pass the burden to another
Formulaic
Who are we to be so cruel
Formulaic
Formulaic
My heart is beating
But not for much longer
The ink in the pen
In my mind getting stronger
I know that it's wrong
But my hands tend to linger
My fingers are tracing the shape of my triggers
It's awful our culture accepts all the figures
The children were raising regardless of pigment
Are stricken with all kinds of worries and doubts
But devout our collective to ignore their afflictions
Yes you call it fiction
But I don't make light of it
All our addictions all
Burned up inside of us
This rate there's no hope
Of rising in spite of it
What are you doing to help?
What are you doing to help?
(Chorus)

Caroline
The name makes you nervous
Caroline
Shed hate to see us do this
Oh Caroline
This isn't what it looks like
Sweet Caroline
Please don't make me fight
Lover boy lover boy
How you gonna talk your way outta this one?
Oh Caroline
She never meant that much to me
Oh Caroline
This isn't the way things need to be
Oh Caroline
Don't make me sign my love away
Sweet Caroline
Just give me one more day
Move with me
Until I can't move anymore
Till my feet fall through the floor
Till you come back through my door

Obsessed
04:11
|

I don't wanna be
The one
Who got away
I shouldn't have fallen
In love
In the first place
I don't wanna cry
If I don't think
I have to
I don't wanna cry
Over you
Don't tell me I'm the one
I've seen this all before
I don't know what I've done
But I don't care anymore
Don’t tell me that I broke you
When we were both a mess
So don't tell me I'm the one
You're just obsessed.
Don’t act like I've dismissed you
You were always more
But it's all my fault I know
It's just that now I'm sure
And maybe I'm a fool
To leave you like I did
But I know that I loved you
For as long as I could
Throw me away
Cause I can take the blame
You gave me your heart
And all your shades of pain
Throw me away
Say to me you will

Gather round kids
And let me
Tell you how the story begins
Toronto is only 80 miles out.
The story is a tale
Of a girl so fragile
Listen closely cause I have to go south.
A rose came out of her mouth
And pricked my fragile soul
She filled me up with doubt
And yet right then I was sold.
And from what I've been told
That's love
That's what love is to her
And I will always hold a piece of her heart
And she, a piece of mine
I promise I'll keep it safe
All through the rest of time
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
Goodbye my only person
On whom I felt I could depend.
There's only so Many times i can say I'm sorry
Sucks when you learn the antagonist in your own story.

I never wanna push you out
So I'll never even let you in
I'm tired of feeling so left out
I'm just used to where I've been
I never wanna fall away
But I know that I will if I can
So let's agree to leave this here
Cause I've never been that strong a man
I never wanted you to see me up close
Cause I'd rather keep you distant, away
And those that break through my shell will know
I never know the words to explain
So I can let you cry with me
And hear my story now and then
But let's agree to leave it there
I've never been that strong a man
And I don't mind
I don't mind if you never come back
The weight I carry
May seem scary
But I'm intact
So I don't care
I don't care if you aren't always there
I’m lying
I'm lying
I'm lying to myself because it's easy
And I convince myself that no one needs me
My honesty is always hidden if need be
I'm sorry
I never wanna push you out
Cause I'm scared to let you in
I'm scared of feeling so left out
I'm just used to where I've been
So come on you can sit with me
And we'll see where we stand
I've never been all that bad
I've just never been that strong a man
