Dear God

Everybody from the streets came marching in
One by one soldiers suit up to fight again
Leave all your families, get ready for insanity
And kiss your loving daughters goodbye
I feel the weight of all the world
The fear builds up as the shots from a gun are heard
As we kill humanity, there is a lack of clarity
The stars have lost their rays of light
Everybody wants to know
Where are you now?
Everybody wants to know
God will you ever show?
I've screamed your name a thousand times
There's nobody listening, can you hear me?
I've tried so hard to find my way
This road is misleading, so deceiving
I've got a dream that pulls me right back again
It haunts me with the death of all my friends
Pains rooted deep inside, and the tears drip from my mothers eyes
I promised her i'm coming home
We'll start a riot (I don't believe it)
I am, waiting
Please God, save me
Cause i'm so lost

I'm never on time with my words, they catch on my tongue
We spend days hanging out
i'll pretend i'm cool with you, telling me all about him
It drives me crazy, i'm lost in reverie
I would sink into your cells if only you let me
And i'll make it through
Even if its not with you
I know i'm too late
But still i would wait
For you
I couldn't think of anything else
I remember the day, when she introduced herself
I felt her voice keep my world from falling apart
A predictable story, of a boy who fell in love
Her smile was the question worth spending my life answering
Your a ghost, staying the night
Will you haunt me for the rest of my life?

Miles Apart

I've watched you struggle to breathe from afar
I've been waiting like heat in the fall
To say these words, i don't know if i can make this work
When i'm with you i cannot explain
How i'm taken by your embrace
Miles apart we seem
Yeah construe the thoughts that are in my head, you take me over
Honestly, I haven't figured you out yet
You've won me over
I couldn't fight the storm when we walked back to your house
It kicked and clawed, and it crawled its way to my heart
I was scared, you had me feeling so unprepared
For the moment when you called my name
I was so close and yet so far away
I wasn't so sure, but i couldn't ignore
The way our hearts collide, and I
Wanted to be, your everything
If you, would let me in
Because i've dreamed of you with me a hundred thousand times

My voice changed with the seasons.
Do you recognize the sound?
I picked my head up off the Back Bay pavement where we slept.
I traded security for what I love.
I'll call home every now and then.
I know I missed the holidays, its something I regret.
With a picture of my father in hand, it keeps me alive.
Any luck i had was patience.
You left your songs out in the sun, and everyone was having fun.
For what its worth, mine are more like a funeral dirge.
An eye sore, a stomach ache from the night before.
And I'll sleep with the fan on low at night.
To mask the sounds of metaphors that describe my life.
(Stay where you are)
I let you in to see if i could take it.
You rummaged through my thrift shop mind.
And walked back to the car.
I'll call home every now and then.
I know I missed the holidays,
And I'll regret, the time I spent.
But I found my love, in the darkest place.
And I'm not afraid to say, it keeps me alive.

Hold On

The blood that covers up his skin
Its tracing through his veins
The deepest cuts are ones that no one sees
Stumbling across the room, he barely stays awake
I'd rather not know how you made it home
Tossing and turning a knife fight
My bed doesn't feel like home
Maybe it's time to forget me
It's time to let me go
Over and over we yell and we fight
Using to cope with the pain thats inside
Watching my room collapse on itself
You have good intent but i don't need your help
I wish that i could find the strength to pick you off the ground
A pocketful of reasons keep us down
I can't let go of what i did
It haunts me in my dreams
Let me choose the path to my own peace
Running in circles gets real old
A time bomb ticking slow
I can't hold on any longer
Its time to let me go

Synapse

You can tell a lot about somebody
By the way they leave you
I love you in summer is much different than the winter
They don't mean what they say
It's over, but i was begging you to stay
It's over, you didn't need me anyways
I never knew that you could change your mind
Its dangerous how you feed your lust
Your a criminal and a thief
And i'm a victim to every one of your vices
You don't mean what you say
My blood is on your hands
I tried to cover your trail so you'd be fine
But you soak in its color so damn well
I am cursed by your spell
I can't let you go
When you see my face, it will be brand new
You'll never know how badly i missed you
You'll never know
And in my life, your stored away with time
Thats all you get to be inside my mind
A memory
i'll leave these words, i'll leave them carved in stone
But if you ever try and call my name
I won't be there

Amnesia

If i could forget it, i'd see more clear
Maybe i could make it another year
My mind is always moving in retrograde
If i recall the feelings that you once gave
It's a sad time to be alone
She loves it, and i want her
To love me
So lonely

I got lost at the heart again
It beats, without much rhythm
I'm empty of ecstasy
I'm burnt out, with a lack of oxygen
My night terrors swallow me
A tremor that won't stop shaking
I've got an anchor at my feet
That will leave me in this ocean
I've come to realize
I can't always escape from my mind
Will you carry me out, of this hell that i'm in
I still crave a bit of Ketamine
Or anything that will help me sleep
Suppress the anxiety
Of a life that will never be stable
I've given everything short of my final breath
My voice clenched shut as the air grew cold
When i welcomed death
I've always felt invisible
Caught up inside the worst of me
I know you'll say that i'll make it out okay
Please don't walk away
Cause i need you to carry me out
There's a lot of my dad in me
A reflection, a growing seed
Filled with downfalls you don't know
I fight my demons on my own
I've let down those closest to me
I'm such a fuck up, can't you see
Lost and aimless, nothing left to say
The scent on my breath drives my pain away
I've clung to the rope tied to my ceiling fan
I'd kick the chair under my feet if you weren't there
All alone i was sure i'd die
Almost a memory you kept me alive

Wipe away the tears from your eyes
I promise you these times go by
Love is so elusive, its so hard to find
You feel like you're one step behind
Cause i know you feel lost in your way
No one else can understand your pain
Everyone says to run away
All you want to do is stay
It's hard to leave the place where your heart made its home
We're scared of being alone
We test our fate with time
A luxury so hard to find
But if we lose our faith and trust
Is there something left for us
Leave all your fears behind
I promise you, you'll be alright
And even if we fall, we'll slip away
Your eyes will open up another day
You don't need me dragging you down (I feel your pain)
Let me slip away (I feel your pain)
You can't save me from myself (Let me help you escape)
I'll never be okay (Let me help you escape)
You don't know the things i feel (I need you to stay)
You can't help me escape (I need you to stay)
I'm so scared of what life brings (You don't know that i need you now)
I think i'll run away (You don't know that i need you now)
A picture is worth a thousand words
Here's one of you and me
When you feel the world has turned its back on you
I'll be there
