The End so Near
A tear drop falling
From my face
Only for you
My lovely Ace
We've been through so much
It's hard to think
That this will all be over
In just one blink
Look at all
Of what we've done
Can it be possible
Its been long since we begun
Knots in my stomach
This doesn't feel right
Just let me through
Into your light
How can the end
Be so near
I'm shaking and trembling
Covered in fear
I'm never letting go
For I'm afraid
That just one day
Your memory will fade
...

Breaking Point
What do you do
When everything's already been done
When you look around
And you know you haven't won
Your eyes glow red
With frustration and hate
Do you turn your cheek
Through with this date
You growl so hard
Making your throat bleed
Do you tear up the paper
Entitled deed
You snort smoke
Full of anger and desire
Do you clinch your fist
Letting the smoke rise higher
Your teeth chatter
From the coolness of the venom
Do you turn on her
Your dearest friend and victim

Trick of the Eyes
That shadow in the corner
No one else sees
Is just waiting for the moment
To surrender me
The shelf that moves
Without any warning
Is practicing to kill me
Early in the morning
They place a hand
Slightly on my shoulder
Saying gently
I should grow to be older
It's just my eyes
Playing tricks on me
They seem so real
These things I see
That flickering bulb
For the stairway light
Wants to lead me lost
Somewhere in the night
The hard to open
Cold shower curtain
Tries to push me under...

Not to Blame
I've done everything
I possible can
To make you happy
I'm your biggest fan
Deleted my Facebook
Even my Twitter
Instagram is gone
I said I wasn't bitter
Snapchat is for you
Not another living soul
According to you
Even the girls can fall in a whole
Burned my Black Books
Even stopped writing
All for you
My tongue I'm still biting
Said goodbye to my friends
Even my sister
Not allowed to think about her
Or even say I miss her
Every football game
I was there ...

Please, Not Again
My heart is heavy
And very sad
This can't being happening
Oh God, this is bad
Please, please
Not Again
Lock everything up
Let no one in
Live in your world
Without any one
Keep the deep subjects off you
Cause you know they'll run
Turn your head
From the laughing preps
As if you can't hear them
And take a step
Cover it up
With a painful smile
The sparkle in your eye has people
Believing for miles
That tear in your eye
It's running down your face
Wipe it off and act like
Nothing...

Betrayed
After all that we've been through
And everything we've done
From sharing lives with each other
And having so much fun
It's crazy to think
And so hard to believe
That this day has come
And it's time to leave
I know that this is hard
But believe me as I say
I would change it if I could
But there is no other way
I still love you to death
But please understand that I can not stay
I know that this must be done
But with each second it's harder to be away
I hope you can forgive me
For this choice I've made

Leave Me
Go ahead
Be like the rest
Everything's already been said
Just walk away
Without a second thought
Nobody will ever stay
Don't look back
Just keep on movin'
Go ahead
Be a part of the pack
I don't care
You follow them all
No one can heal this tear
You don't see
You can't see
The hurt inside of me
So stand up
Do as I please
Leave me.

Your Husband's Pest
How can you
Think that I
Could have fun with you
Without trying to die
Everytime
I stand my ground
You knock me to the floor
Treating me like a hound
How can you with friends
Bo so cool
Without even mentioning
Our little duel
I don't know
What i did
But i swear next time
I'll be "your better kid"
Everyday
I try my best
To cover up
All this and the rest
You don't ever let
Me get crazy or mad
Because that would mean
You'd look so bad
Everyday i fail

Stop to Think
Maybe i should
Just stop to think
That if I dont care
I'll break this link
I try so hard
To do as you please
But it always seems
Like youre never pleased
Every night
I sit alone
Tears crashing down
Trying not to moan
I dont understand
What ive done
To make you so mad
Im telling myself not to run
You scream and yell
I just dont get
How you can think
I can just take the hit
Im dying inside
To tell you my mind
But i won't for i know

Cursed to the Sea
Waves of darkness
Surrounding me
They call me heartless
I'm cursed like the sea
They throw me under
Spinning me around
No way to take cover
To the sea I'm bound
They come big and strong
Horribly dark and cold
These waves feel so wrong
But of me they have ahold
My breath they take
My courage they steal
This is not fate
Yet there's no way to heal
What have i done
To deserve this show
And why I am shunned
I do not know
Slowly I become
Apart of the sea
To help betray
The next...

So Bring The Rain
With everything we go through
We're always right there
With needle and thread
Mending the tear
Mop up the blood
Wipe off the tears
The battle's left many
But we run off the fears
Hand in hand
We close our eyes
Stepping in the dark
Ready for the lies
Always willing
Scared to fail
Just know we'll be there
With the other's set bail
We got each other's backs
For every single thing
We never just stand there
And let the other hang
It doesn't matter
If we're there or not
You hurt one...

The Game
Aim
Squeeze
The gun's report
All it takes to claim a victim
They sink to the ground
Without a second thought
They don't make a sound
No time to wish they could have fought
You claim your prize
Bloodied and breathless
With other lies
You add it to your death-list
You joke around
Like it's fun
Friends and family surround
Always in stun
Your face is stern
Your body is hard
It's all you can do
To stay the star
In you the fear
Masked by the game
There's a mirror...
