It’s been a long ass week and a half here without you
Tomorrow marks one month that I’ve been here without you
Feels like I’m the only one who’s fighting all my rejects
Which makes it hurt much more cus people never seem to forget
That I cannot help myself, I made the same mistake
I ripped my arms to shreds and bled out in the sink
If I could have my way, oh that would be the end
Because there’s nothing you can do for me, my friend
That would change my mind, I want to die
I hate this life, there’s nothing going for me anymore
I get no peace of mind, no closure, I crave
Something, give me something more than “I don’t know”
The snow falls endlessly, this eternal winter’s tearing me apart
I take it back already, throw me away
The last time that you saw me, I had overdosed and couldn’t move
God I want to kill myself so I don’t have to think about it anymore
These Christmas lights will haunt me until I die

My friends are joking about meeting you in hell
They said to pack your bags, and meet us by the well
I wanna keep your number tattooed on my wrist
so when we meet again I can tell you how I’ve been
I don’t wanna tell you
How I’m really feeling
My throat won’t let it happen
The sound itself is trapped and
My wrists are finished bleeding
They’re scarring at the surface
We know deep down I’m keeping
My heart on lock,
Repeating the same 4 words
“I’ll be okay tomorrow”
But if there’s one more bad day
Would be way too much to swallow
Would be okay
If nothing really happened
Should have never let it happen
God I’ll never let it happen again
The river bed feels so much softer than my own
The warmth surrounding me makes me forget I’m not alone
Whenever time and space collide and ruin what I’ve built myself
I feel the weight of living crashing down and suffocating
I don’t wanna tell you
How I’m really feeling
My throat won’t let it happen
The sound itself is trapped and
My wrists are finished bleeding
They’re scarring at the surface
We know deep down I’m keeping
My heart on lock,
Repeating the same 4 words
“I’ll be okay tomorrow”
But if there’s one more bad day
Would be way too much to swallow
Would be okay
If nothing really happened
Should have never let it happen
God I’ll never let it happen again
Shouldn’t have let my guard down
Shouldn’t have let you in
I’m withering without you
I guess I’ll never win
Shouldn’t have let my guard down
Shouldn’t have let you in
I’m withering without you
I guess I’ll never win
I don’t wanna tell you
How I’m really feeling
My throat won’t let it happen
The sound itself is trapped and
My wrists are finished bleeding
They’re scarring at the surface
We know deep down I’m keeping
My heart on lock,
Repeating the same 4 words
“I’ll be okay tomorrow”
But if there’s one more bad day
Would be way too much to swallow
Would be okay
If nothing really happened
Should have never let it happen
God I’ll never let it happen again

Autumn Song

I wanna keep you warm
I wanna keep you warm
I’ll hold you through the storm
I’ll hold you like before
Whenever we grow old
You’ll never be alone
You’ll never turn to stone
I promise you you won’t
Like pretty autumn leaves
Falling from the trees
You smiled back at me
So beautiful to see
I want to be with you
When leaves, they grow anew
I wanna be with you
I promise you I do

What I’m afraid to say out loud
Is what I know I can’t be proud of
I wish I had something to be proud of
What I’m afraid to say out loud
Is what I know I can’t be proud of
I wish I had someone to be proud of me
I can’t stand the feeling
That there’s nothing for me
I’ll never get that reckoning
My life is all over
Harder to be sober
Than it is to stay awake
What I’m afraid to say out loud
Is what I know I can’t be proud of
I wish I had something to be proud of
What I’m afraid to say out loud
Is what I know I can’t be proud of
I wish I had someone to be proud of me

Alright Again

I wish we were closer than anyone
I wish we grew older and made up for the shit we both went through when we lived together
We carried the same weight for all our lives
But I’m the only one who gets to bury mine
We grew up in the states
So far away, so far away, but both in the same damn place
We couldn’t intersect
But I was told so always knew that you were still around or so I thought
You left me, New Mexico
And flew away, so far away, I never saw you after you had gone
And I had two other ones
Who cared for me and loved me so and treated me as if I was a son
Everything was fine
But I was such a piece of shit when I was young, I ruined their fucking lives
I wanna disappear
But I can’t cus I know if I do there would be nothing of you in here anymore
And I just wanna live a life where I can understand that you still loved me
Loved me and my art
You always loved me and my art
You never said that it was anything less than pristine
I’ll never be able to buy you a house
When I would go on walks I would daydream
That’s what you deserved from me
I wish we were closer than anyone
Than anyone
I wish we were closer than anyone
Than anyone
Than anyone
Than anyone
I wish we were closer than anyone
Than anyone
Than anyone
Than anyone
I put you in my song
You cried your fucking eyes out
You came to my show
And you cried your fucking eyes out
You listened to my album
And you cried your fucking eyes out
And then I had learned you’d died
And I cried my fucking eyes out
I Don’t know how to cope
I don’t know how to grow from this
When I was a kid
You left me in
a state far away
And when I grew up
I met you again
My life had been ruined but you were my best friend
But now I took too long
Now all that I can do
Is sing a song
About what I can’t get back from you
And I cried for you
Shed my tears for you
Fuck, I bled for you
Wish it wasn’t true
And I don’t know how to feel alright again

The Greatest Adventure

The greatest adventure is what lies ahead
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said
The chances, the changes are all yours to make
The mold of your life is in your hands to break
The greatest adventure is there if you're bold
Let go of the moment that life makes you hold
To measure the meaning can make you delay
It's time you stop thinkin' and wasting the day
The man who's a dreamer and never takes leave
Who thinks of a world that is just make believe
Will never know passion, will never know pain
Who sits by the window will one day see rain
The greatest adventure is what lies ahead
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said
The chances, the changes are all yours to make
The mold of your life is in your hands to break
The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.
