Another Chance
I'll come back home and I'll say I've missed you
I'll say that I couldn't wait to be here
I'll cry and tell you I've been dying without you
These pill bottles turn me into a liar
You said goodbye forever as you locked the door
I looked away as a tear came down my face
"Fuck if I need you to survive!"
These liquor bottles turn me into a fool
You said I'll see you again but I'm not holding my breath
You never saw the rope in my hands
"I'm so excited for you to be back!"
These smiles are born of pain
You gave...

A Golden Hearse
When he's grown and gone away
Will he say "Thank you for making me"
Or will he regret ever knowing my name
So I'll say goodbye before you tell me to leave
All you wanted was a hug and a smile
All I wanted was to hand you the universe
All you said was "Can you come stay for a while?"
I feel so cursed living in a golden hearse
One day I'll be home and see you grown
One day I'll be there to see the man you've become
You'll run to me and say "I never want you to go"
Instead of "Daddy, are you ever coming home?"
Will he say "Thank you for making me"
Or will he regret ever knowing my name
So I'll say goodbye before you tell me to leave
All you wanted was a hug and a smile
All I wanted was to hand you the universe
All you said was "Can you come stay for a while?"
I feel so cursed living in a golden hearse
One day I'll be home and see you grown
One day I'll be there to see the man you've become
You'll run to me and say "I never want you to go"
Instead of "Daddy, are you ever coming home?"

Taken
Don't say you know me when you knew me back then
I've sweat and bled and cried to leave him behind
When I was beat and held down
Where were you telling me you believe in me
"You'll understand when you're older"
I'm still a kid but you took my innocence
You came into my life and carved your bed
I've slept with my regrets ever since
You made my bed but I'll never sleep again
You fed me and I'll never starve again
You took the choice away and made your own
Don't promise I'll be who you are
I don't know who I am...

Holding Nothing
Do I sell my soul to hold you close
What cost is too much to regret
Do I hold my heart above all others
Who understands why I need to be alone
I've left it all behind to move forward
Cut the ropes and removed the chains
Smiled and sang and held nothing
I had nothing to feel everything
There's so much to hold to when I'm alone
How do I escape from the prison I hold the key to
I gave my life for this, where do I buy one now
I've wanted a life so empty, my arms are heavy from holding to nothing
Who do I turn to...

Stares and Silence
When I'm laid to rest beneath the sky
Will there be tears and bloody roses
Or cheers and a heavy silence
When I'm laid into to my grave
I'm falling beneath the weight of this
I've held tight my deepest regrets
The rope is burning more than the liquor
The blade cuts into the deepest parts of me
This house is burning and I can no longer breathe
I'll fall asleep and sigh so content
I've been so hurt by the stares and silence
I'll bury myself beneath the oak and flesh
If I come across as confused or misunderstood ...

Our Hearts
I've been following the wrong path
Being guided by those who were lost
Did they want to guide me into a dead end
Those you hold above you will hold you down
I took the wrong advice and held you close
I was told to run but decided to make our bed
I laid in it and felt a crushing weight on my chest
Your heart isn't light, it's leading me astray
I took my own life with your rope
As you smiled and nodded to agree
Tell me you love me as you go behind my back
Do I bite the hand that feeds or close my mouth
I started...

The Stranger Inside
Bury me further down, this ground can't hold me
I'm so old but I feel so young
I've been living in a life so cold I can't feel warmth
I'm so young but I feel so old
Light the fire inside and hold me close
Those I loved made me who I once was
They question who I am and why I'm doing what I'm doing
I'm so wrong in their eyes because I no longer hold their image
I'm filling it up and pouring it out
I've been changing and shaping what I am
My mind was never solid but a mirage of twisting shapes
How do I hold to what I...

Golden Cracks
Golden light leaks out of the broken clouds
I see it as I approach the top of the hill
It takes me back to the time when you said you were so broken, you didn't think anybody could ever love you
Well, I did
I loved every broken part of you
I got to see the parts of you that you so often hid away, waiting for someone to care enough to pry you open
And I did
Not all the way
But enough to realize you weren't this uncaring, heartless person I thought you were
You have a heart
Such a beautiful, loving heart that has felt such relentless heartache that you...

Fill You With My Words
Let me write poetry on your body
Feel my words across your skin
Run your fingers along the surface
and see where the ink as settled in
I have penned other works before you
and I tried, tried, tried, tried
But i guess the lease was up on their love
before my ink had time to dry
As I dip my quill in the ink well
On your canvas I draw, draw, draw
I will pick up where I left off
and on you
I will write the best love poem of all
Feel my words across your skin
Run your fingers along the surface
and see where the ink as settled in
I have penned other works before you
and I tried, tried, tried, tried
But i guess the lease was up on their love
before my ink had time to dry
As I dip my quill in the ink well
On your canvas I draw, draw, draw
I will pick up where I left off
and on you
I will write the best love poem of all

Black Coffee In The Morning
Wake up with black coffee in the morning
Take a sip as it burns your tongue
She rolls over and kisses your cheek
Slides her mocha hands down your chest
You like it black, no need for cream
Taste everything
She intertwines her toasted legs around your back as you give her more than a kiss
You have to get up, but not before you finish your coffee
Not before you drink her down
Take a sip as it burns your tongue
She rolls over and kisses your cheek
Slides her mocha hands down your chest
You like it black, no need for cream
Taste everything
She intertwines her toasted legs around your back as you give her more than a kiss
You have to get up, but not before you finish your coffee
Not before you drink her down

Find The Sun
Where have you been my dear?
Where did you go?
Where have you been hiding your love, for it does not show
It no longer happily shines with the sounds of our laughter
It no longer sweetly glows to the tune of our song
What could I have done differently?
Where did I go wrong?
I'm sorry you feel like you're the broken one
One day we will find the sun
Where did you go?
Where have you been hiding your love, for it does not show
It no longer happily shines with the sounds of our laughter
It no longer sweetly glows to the tune of our song
What could I have done differently?
Where did I go wrong?
I'm sorry you feel like you're the broken one
One day we will find the sun

The Pain of Losing Is Worse Than Leaving
Whiskey on your breath as you climb into bed
I check the clock, 3:16 am is what it read
You kiss me goodnight and then you roll over
Now it's my turn to stay up all night, but I'm the one who's sober
Which makes it even worse since I remember everything
Like how you raise your voice, or your hand to my face when you get to drinking
But you're way too tired to start a fight this late
You probably fucked some slut in a dirty, one-stall bathroom who was barely older than jail-bait
How can you kiss me with that foul mouth of...
