This is the last time that I put a pen to paper.
To tell about how they feel
There's so much more to life, than giving up everything for her.
Devastation,
Trying too hard,
Jumping to conclusions.
Disappointment,
Sky of hatred,
Drowning sorrows with poisons.
Well it's your path; it's one road or the other.
It's your path; and i'll help yu on your way.
I wish I could pull you out of this; it's driving me crazy i'm ending it now.
It's your life…
Listen to yourself; "friends becoming ashes, in your heart of fire".
No need to lie to me,
You know i'll hear it straight.
Devastation,
Trying too hard,
Jumping to conclusions.
Disappointment,
Sky of hatred,
Drowning sorrows with poisons.
Well it's your path; it's one road or the other.
It's your path; and i'll help yu on your way.
I wish I could pull you out of this; it's driving me crazy i'm ending it now.
It's your life, and you keep falling back to your old ways.
It's hard on you, it's hard on me.

Thanks For The Vacation

What you're about to hear may surprise you;
I take that back you probably already know.
Perhaps you could tell, by the way I look at you,
Or how being in your presence freezes my smile.
I tried,
Look into my eyes.
Tell me the things you told me late last night.
Sometimes I feel you could care less
Regarding my existence
Falling into the state I hate, fighting my resistance.
Forget it, I tried
Sometimes moods collide
It's easy when you're beautiful
I want to fall in love but can only be...
Some of us fall in love as often as we breathe
So i'll step back to wait and see.
Show me that you want me.
You say it.. is it true?
Am I making something out of nothing?
You're scent is all around me after sliding through my door
Your lips intoxicate me I want nothing more.
I tried,
Look into my eyes.
Tell me the things you told me late last night.
Sometimes I feel you could care less
Regarding my existence
Falling into the state I hate, fighting my resistance.
I really hope i'm doing better,
I just want you by my side.
Once again i'm stepping off now
Don't think a thing about me i'll be fine.
You told me I don't know what love is
If you only knew… what I had to give.
Forget it, I tried
Sometimes moods collide
It's easy when you're beautiful
I want to fall in love but can only be...
Some of us fall in love as often as we breathe
So i'll step back to wait and see.

You Were Right

You stopping by made temperatures rise.
I wasn't blushing… it was the lights.
We have yet to go anywhere,
but in my mind we've been everywhere to be.
To the islands it's happy there
and I promise you won't eat from the ground again.
Getting easier to fake a smile,
certain feeling things won't stay this way
Yeah, these things will only stay for awhile.
I kept my promise, but nobody knows…
I'm such a sucker, but thats how it goes.
Keep your pretty face away from me.
I will have it all just wait and see.
Getting easier to fake a smile,
certain feeling things won't stay this way
Yeah, these things will only stay for awhile.
You took me by the hand led me through the crowd
no metaphors I merely cherished it.
We should have kept on going…
that summer night though it was brief,
The time we spent out on the trampoline...
We should have kept on going.

New Years Resolution
03:56
|

|
Complications; on the back of a receipt. Hard to do this time of year.
These holidays have never been oh so over-rated.
I'd settle for a smile…
We've got to get this started, the've got a gun to our heads.
Emotions soon departed, we bomb.
Well I don't wanna see you sad, putting my time first?
I feel bad, having love that only I control, having love with only this to hold.
I know you've noticed things are not the same.
Guess it's true in oh so many ways.
Wanna treat you make you feel right.
Well, what's right?
My best friends… at least that's what they used to be… torn apart, by conspiracy.
Why did you have to change your mind?
Happy new years to me.
We've got to get this started, the've got a gun to our heads.
Emotions soon departed, we bomb.
I don't wanna make the call, I want to kill you.
False accusations you'll die.
The last thing I need right now is for you to tell me, how to live my life.

In A Sense

It's 4 AM, you're calling drunk once again.
He listens in disgust and bits his tongue.
Finally alone why don't we kiss goodnight.
Appalled whats on your breath it clouds my mind.
Well I take it, punch it in the face.
No time to wallow in despair, it simply makes me sick,
to see and hear the way you care.
How stupid of me to think you'd be any different,
than all the other fuck up's out there.
Your nasty habits are looked down on for a change.
Who would've thought that finding a good girl,
would be a rare occasion?
It's upside down, a new and fuck up fashion statement.
Cigarettes so appetizing,
your drunken stupors make you look so classy.
Congratulations you've got everyones attention in the room with your lust,
to see the piercing of a dick.
He'll only show you if it's hard.
I sure do hope your parents love you.
They would be so proud.
I hear those stories about those respected faces,
pissing on themselves.
Nothing like looking back on waking up in your vomit; welcome to my hell.

A Meaningless Rendezvous
02:48
|

Never looked so forward to slumber,
where you were always mine.
But I can't get there, too busy breaking myself,
trying to find exactly what I did wrong.
You kind of left me hanging in the dark,
please, feel free to fill me in.
Well maybe I had an encounter,
with something we all know we'll have to face.
It may seem easiest through actions, just listen to what I say;
Cause I meant it.
I feel sorry for every sucker you pull in.
Never had to look down to see heaven, but that's where I was when with you
and now i'm falling, down back to earth, back to the truth.
You know, it hurts me, to do it all and find out I meant nothing.
After ruining everything for you.
Well maybe I had an encounter,
with something we all know we'll have to face.
It may seem easiest through actions, just listen to what I say;
Cause I meant it.
I feel sorry for every sucker you pull in.

Flight Of The Bumble Bee
02:37
|

Well i'll just fly right on into you.
Break the skin, dig right in,
get my fill unsatisfied.
Well i'll fly on, unsatisfied, realize,
that I left part of me inside.
But its too late,
pick up my innards as they're spilling on the floor.
But its too late.
i'm feeling dizzy now I can't go on no more.
You should have smashed me when you had the chance,
wiped up my misery.
Those speakers in my head blare that we're crashing,
Goodbye my never-bee.
I've become, a slave to a carnal,
The common sin will always win me over,
the evils on the screens
i've got a tendency
clearing history you can erase
its been in boxes inside my mind
every step, every mile another lesson learned
i'm full of shame, far from guiltless
the tables overturned
how can i criticize in colleges
I'm a fool to say the least
the problems of my young to deem unrighteous
what you saw has made me see.

You Put The N In Honesty
03:38
|

You weren't lying, just kicking back the truth
But i brought it up so many times
You think that it break through
I wanna say thanks for the familiar
32 caliber gretting
your a whole other person when no ones around
it's always dark and your tired but affection is found.
Your attention span is a thought for, you blame it as my own
desperately failing and trying to get through
where are you now? i wish that i could know
Cause I'm better off alone
though tearing up the phone
my will to love was ruined by a siren long ago and ill be
6 dresses yellow they could only make your day
After tomorrow night it all be over
I'm sorry we bound till then, i tried to change
did the thought of my presence, happen to cross your mind.
Sacrificing so many things, disappointed every time
and as I start to panic, I think things through
It'll happen as it should I promise myself, but i'm completely through
Cause I'm better off alone
though tearing up the phone
my will to love was ruined by a siren long ago
to seemed better than your picture
and I'm trying to impress
safe and stuck inside the same boat
and hope our lives cross paths
i kept persisting though your hand was on my chest
there was nothing i could do you made it obvious
so as you pushed me, i would continue to bleed
now I'm out of stepping, shocked as i sit in see

Blasphemy
03:48

Good morning sir its nice to meet you
as he shakes his bloody hand
this church is lovely simply stunning i must say
you never harmed a soul with anything
you brought a smile to ones face
he rushes to the bathroom
as the rest sit down to pray
oh what to do
as i flee the room
you watered down the wine
greater things to find
just know where you should
a man without whom has no purpose
like those who live to die at ease
but i still like to watch those striving to achieve
i never knew it's so important
to look to purpose while you pray
our discussing lines are disgusting you must say
call it blasphemy, cause your too naive
you watered down the wine
greater things to find
just know where you should
cause theres no one in the world
with a will as powerful as mine
you say you give a damn but selfish thoughts are clouding through your mind
i don't need to a leader or group persuasion, i just need some answers without quotation.
i just don't you anymore
i may get lost in this town
but your lost in something more
the things you say won't mean a thing
i blame the scum around you
you get infected just so easily
this could be, should would be you
but the times we knew are dead.
