wasting my night away
making mixtapes I'll never give you
wasting your breath away
making promises I know you're gonna break
love lost and love found
two hearts breaking without a sound
I know it wasn't meant to be
but why can't you fucking see?
everything I did
I did with you in mind
what we had
I thought was perfect
I guess we just ran out of time
I spent that night with Joy Division
and a loaded gun
I wanted so bad to pull that trigger
but then you would've won
I spent that night with Morrissey
and a loaded gun
I wanted so bad to pull that trigger
but then you would've won
I dream of the night
I can pull out all your teeth
and string them on a necklace
for all the world to see
I spent that night alone
with a loaded gun
I wanted so bad to pull that trigger
but then you would've won
now I lay me down to sleep
I dream of an escape
If I die before I wake
then you got what you wanted

Divorce

two short weeks before Christmas 2008
my mother packed her bags looking for an escape
“too late, I’m gone, there’s no stopping me”
she left our house empty, except for a tree
a torn photograph
of our broken family
lies forgotten like a leaf
beneath the evergreen
I spent a month screaming my throat raw
screaming for a second chance
screaming for her to come back
screaming ‘cause I lost my mother
screaming ‘cause I lost my home
in the end I was screaming for nothing
‘cause all I really lost was my voice
all I really lost was my voice
feelings of doubt
I can’t overcome
can I ever love the same
now that you’re gone?
I don’t know why
I feel this way
but now I’m afraid
of finding one day
my head is fucked
my heart is numb
what will I do
when I meet someone?
they say every man grows up to marry his own mother
does that mean I’ll be alone in the end?

Traitor

I'd rather pry out my eyes
with a fucking spoon
then see your face again
so fucking soon
you turned your back
you walked away
when I needed you
you didn't stay
traitor
trend hopping sack of shit
you thought you were too good for me
"friends, who needs 'em?"
is what you said
but I've got mine
and to us you're dead
my real friends are all I need
not a dumb fuck like you
we grew up together
but "youth is dead"
why can't you fucking see?
you fucking failed me

say what you mean
and mean what you say
if you tell me you love me
I'm gonna take it that way
but if you don't
just let me know
so I can pack my shit
and fucking go
would you remember my name
if I wrote it on a bullet
and left it in your brain
would you remember my name?
you broke my heart into 2 little pieces
one for you, and one to keep
you left me with no reason not to cry
staining my pillowcase and my sheets
cross my heart and hope to die
fill my head with your fucking lies

From Afar

if you ever drive alone at night
and wonder what it would be like
to watch your funeral from afar
and fucking lose it in your car
you are not alone
I’ve been there before
what kind of music would they play
what the fuck would they say
who would leave flowers on your grave
and mourn your death ‘till their dying day

Through The Glass

You're gone
And I don't know what to do.
I miss you.
I need you.
I miss you.
I look in the mirror
every night
and I think back
back to that fucking night
I walked up those 3 porch steps
my heart pounding in my chest
I knocked on that glass front door
I wasn't ready for what I saw
my heart sunk in my chest
when she turned around
I saw your grandma's face
and I knew right then and there
I never got to say goodbye
you were gone
there's no fucking way
I can accept this
I know it's true
but it can't end here
The pain of those first few days
washes over my
and fucking drowns me
in misery
memories of the times we shared
keep me above water
keep me from drowning
in my tears
this is my
last goodbye
