For Fucks Sake

Never peace of mind. I found myself deaf to reason.
I don't have clever phrases to explain how I fucking feel.
I've got a lot of hate. And it starts with me.
But a lot of it ends up with you.
My mouth is open at the bottom of the ocean, drowning.
How am I supposed to save you when I can't bring myself to save me?
I cannot save us.

Escape To Return

I fell apart where I am.
Move to a place where I can grow.
Pull me out of this hole.
I can't breathe anymore.
I'm watching a failure fail and watching his hopes fail the same way.
I feel like I'm trapped in a world full of children.
One thought and only one thought can't carry me home. (Unlike you.)
I know everyone; I've been everywhere.
And I'm always in this constant world of self creation.
This is me fallen apart.

The time that I felt right has long past.
And the smiles that once came to find me, no longer try.
And I feared I knew exactly how this life would go.
And I did know.
I see you there old man. You are broken.
And you carry the weight of a thousand lives you never had.
And you carry the weight of the one life that you did.
You know you lost.
So here I stand and there he sits.
We are not the same.
But honestly whats the fucking difference?
He looks at me and closes his eyes.
He opens his mouth and he says:
"Son, you may know my fear, but you do not know this pain."
The rain did come down in sheets.
And unfortunately I can tell you that I did learn everything that I needed to to change.
But these are just words.
And again tonight, everyone is asleep somewhere else.

Life On Fire

I cannot keep this up.
Running with my head down.
Common sense fucked by hope.
My pain consumes me.
Loss at every turn.
Strength and pride are all I know.
This guilt and fear are all I feel.
The end approaches, now.
I must fore go control.

Condition Me
01:40
|
|
||
|
Consequences of a life so fucked.
Doomed.
With enough guilt to crush even the hardest man.
Fighting always just to live.
Live.
Help me, I am afraid.
It's dark and I'm alone
Miles away in the distance I see the people who I need giving up on me.
Betrayed by my own body and mind.

Brand of Brothers

And to this war we wage no more.
The images are fresh in our minds.
On the edge, you've won me over.
Eyes full of hope; full of fear.
A guilty man, an honest man, you've made of me.
I will repeat:
"I don't want to survive. I want to live."

The Great Divide
03:02
|
|

This is reality of where we stand.
Our lives; broken and unfulfilled.
Our hearts wasted on all the battles it seems we can never win.
Our hopes threadbare.
And I know that look on your face because you wonder what you're still doing here,
when you have no arms left to raise.
Become nothing or bear the truth;
That life is hard. Things will not work out.
And you will hurt, but you will live.
And that's all there is.
We live past hope.
We live past hope.
We live past hope.
We live past hope.
We live past hope.
We live past hope.
We live past hope.
We live past hope.
This is the song to sing to your children for when they're feeling beat and afraid.
We live past hope.
This is the song to sing to your loved ones when their god has left them out in the rain.
We live past hope.

What the fuck is this shaking, ugly, need for recompense?
Why?
This rage takes a hold of me.
Like the air in my lungs.
This is what it has to be.
And this cannot pass.
This won't pass.
This is you. It's you. This is you.
So fuck my words. Cross me.
I will fucking kill you all.
And you cannot stop me.
I need this now.
The one time I don't want control.

Old Lows

Drag my mind through this hell of never knowing anything for sure.
In the mirror, I see myself head sunken, eyes cold.
Forever disappointment and regret in this life.
If I fight hard enough, then I end up right back where I started.
I fail.
Uncertainty; the one constant in this world.

A Separation Process
01:10
|
|
||

Get that kid the fuck out.
You're separated and cut off from reality.
Shutting out everything that isn't what you want
And from what you think is fucking right.
You pretend to be accepting, to be open.
First sight of someone different and you run. You run.
Judgmental and presumptuous fighting against judgement and presumptions.
These high standards can never be reached even by the likes of you.
Hollow words are all you speak.
Backwards thoughts of community.
That shit won't get past me.

This time I won't come back here.
You've left me before but you always came back.
You can't do this to me again.
This is the time that I really need you around.
A loss for you is double for me.
These things sometimes will never resolve themselves by staying in the same place.
You don't know this pain; this confusion.
This home is a constant reminder of what I've gone through.
Please don't walk away.
If you leave now, I'll never get you back.
Just 'cause I can't feel it, doesn't mean I don't understand.
