For nights as I struggled to fall asleep
I wonder as to why things happen the way they do
Are these the normal occurrences of life?
Or is there a force going against me?
Maybe these are the things we must go through
In order to learn how to live
The kind of things they never taught us
How to deal with
These things tear you apart from the core
Leaving you with nothing but, a vacant feeling
The tides will hold you down till you learn how to swim
You'll learn to breathe and you'll try to forget
But in the end
You'll never be the same again

Survivor's Guilt

It feels like 1945
With all this death on my mind
I've got blood soaked clothes and holes in the soles of my shoes
I know I've failed them
Let them slip away
I'm weak like an aging oak in a hurricane
I'm trapped like a bird in a cage
My wings are clipped so I can't fly away
And I've stopped singing
You told me you'd die soon
And I couldn't take it
I'd give you my lungs
For all the air you can take in
Dear stranger of mine
Keep your eyes on me
Everything's fine you've just got to breathe
We stare at the frozen ground
As the pastor reads the eulogy
A speech I've put to memory
I've got holes in my mind that I fill with the dead
Nightmares that just won't fucking end
You know I'm so sorry
I'm weak like an aging oak in a hurricane
I'm trapped like a bird in a cage
My wings are clipped so I can't fly away
And I've stopped singing
You told me you'd die soon
And I couldn't take it
I'd give you my lungs
For all the air you can take in
Dear stranger of mine
Keep your eyes on me
Everything's fine you've just got to breathe
They called you a saint
Said I should be pround
That I did what I could
With what I had around
You put your faith in me
But faith wasn't enough
And now I'm singing another sad song
For the ones I've lost
You told me you'd die soon
And I couldn't take it
I'd give you my lungs
For all the air you can take in
Dear stranger of mine
Keep your eyes on me
Everything's fine you've just got to breathe

I'm crying
Suffocating underneath the pressure
I'm dying
I can't go on another moment
Now I've
Had to much to drink and I want to
Go home and sleep
Everything is not the same
But you and I we remain
A footnote in the past that I can't ever read again
At least that's what I thought when I was sitting on the corner of the street
Hoping to see you one last time
I would do anything for you but
I should stop the delusions in my head that
You will come back to me in the end
Begging for what we had again
I would
Do anything for you but never again
7 years went by without a thought in my mind
Then you woke me up with a late night phone call
Now i'm putting on my coat and heading to the car
Thinking about the perfume you wore back in high school
I would do anything for you but
I should stop the delusions in my head that
You will come back to me in the end
Begging for what we had again
I would
Do anything for you but never again

A Change In Climate

We exchange words, fists, expressions in a tug of war
For the same career paths
You will win the love
That I wish I
Could receive
And I know
When i'm beat
So, i'll set count
To a growing
Losing streak
I can't allow myself
To let action become apathy
But it's so hard
To find purpose outside
My bedroom walls
And I know
When i'm beat
So, i'll set count
To a growing
Losing Streak
And when I see your face
I will know just what
You're thinking
You're eyes will declare
That I am an impulsive one
But that's not true
Cause I've never done
Anything at all
Without Care
And I never started!
It's growing inside of me
It's growing inside of me
It's growing inside of me
It's growing inside of me
It's manifested itself to deep
It's manifested itself to deep
To deep

The Words Left Unsaid

I've got a lot to say
But I know I don't make sense
So, i'm keeping quiet around you
Cause keeping quiet's best
So tie a noose for two
And hang it in your room
Leave a note behind
Cause i'm not going out without you
You've got a lot to say
About going away
So I'm keeping quiet around you
Cause keeping quiet's best
So tie a noose for you
And hang it in your room
And when you go
I sure do miss you
We can be free from all the people and the lives we lead
We can be satisfied, with who we are and what we need

She Left Saturday

She left, went south, on Saturday
Couldn't follow so I'm
Left alone in my
Sorrow
But the pain of yesterday
And the feelings that we gave
One thing I know
Letting her go
Is one feeling I could never take
Woah woah
I don't know why she hides
And always has to lie
I'll never know at all
Why she had to go
But the pain of yesterday
And the feelings that we gave
One thing I know
Letting her go
Is one feeling I could never take
Woah woah
She left, went south, on Saturday
Couldn't follow so I'm
Left alone in my
Sorrow

So this concludes the endless summer you wished I had
The same kind I desired for you
But, oh how I wished them to end
The same way I wished for you to stay
Because every night would be of me desperately wanting to fall asleep
Just to wake up the next day to the agonizing sound of that buzzer
To get up and start it again
But it was easy for you
You had ways to solve your problems
And you feeling better is being with them
And when you wanted to stay in and relax
Selfish of me to say it was me at home starting the night again
I wish you a lifetime of endless summers
It's better of me to walk away
