Happy birthday
Happy birthday, you’re 30 today, yay”
Look outside the sky is gray
Things weren’t supposed to end up this way
The demons I couldn’t keep at bay
“Make a wish that it will all be okay, blow out your candles”
The pain I feel, it grows
Can’t let anyone know
So I keep putting on this show.
Although the darkness in me flows
Built up trauma I can’t ever let go
I sunk down low
Like a clown I paint a smile over my frown
Constantly feeling like I’m gonna drown
I wear this pain like a crown
Only cry when no one is around
I’m...

One More Line
One more line and ill be fine
But If you offer, I can’t decline
One more line turned into nine
Who’s keeping score?
I know, I swore it was the last time
Today I’ll only do four...
The cycle of an addict is war. Signs we ignore. Getting clean becomes a chore
Excuses we give...
“i have to ween, its a disease, it’s in my genes”
A fucked up routine, trying to stay unseen
Did I say four? my bad, I did sixteen
I admit I’m a prisoner to it..can’t commit to quit
It’s true, every line I blew, my addiction grew
I’m sorry for what i...

My Demons Won
I’ve been asking for help since spring
No one seems to hear a damn thing
Pain even in the words that I sing
Tired of the rain, getting hard to maintain
Feeling restrain can’t seem to break the chain
Look sane but in my brain... I’m insane
Fuck, maybe it’s the cocaine
Should I pour it down the drain?
Maybe shoot it in my vein? It’s all the same
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain
Took a scroll down lovers lane
A mistake I won’t make again.
Starting to think everyone around me is fake
Never give always take. Whatever...
Can’t...

Falling walls
I built tall walls, I’ll never let them fall.
My heart lost its last brawl so behind these walls I crawl. Life’s been unkind, fucked up my mind. Got sick of getting hurt, so brick by brick myself I confined. Nobody tried or asked why I had my walls so high. Wait that’s a lie...
There was one guy, who stood by my side, held me when I cried, so many tears he dried,
He was my ride or die. I was his Bonnie, he was my Clyde. if I got off track he’d guide me back, endless support he’d always supply. As friends we stride, but lovers we collide. I just couldn’t let him inside, my walls...

Burn to Ash
I stand motionless, watching my world
Burn to the ground. Darkness surrounds. I scream, no sound can be found. Ashes from this mess all around. Have to confess I caused this wreck, set fire to my success, any progress I made...I set to flame. No one but me to blame. All that remains is deep shame. never thought it would all fall, It once stood tall...the first rumble caused a few walls to crumble. Thought I could fix it but like an infection, it grew, making its way through, chewing at the glue, destroying every screw that held it altogether. By the time I got a good view at the...

Don’t Cry
Don’t cry....whatever you do don’t you dare cry
Don’t speak a single word besides “Goodbye”
If he asks you why, don’t reply,
he knows why, It’s all his lies.
Don’t cry...not one drop from your eyes.
He won’t change, you can’t fix him.
You know this because you tried.
Just say goodbye. Keep your eyes dry
Don’t give him one more chance to deny
It’s time to spread your wings and fly
Let this toxic love finally die.
If you stay, the pain you feel with amplify
After you said your final goodbye...
You can fall to your knees...

Sunken Ship
With water up to your neck, You have to jump deck. Keep Swimming...don’t look back at the wreck. Stay on track, don’t forget the attack, it’s why you left. I know you’re upset, but it’s your safest bet. If you turn around it’ll be a choice you regret. Don’t worry I won’t let you drown, just have to get your feet back on solid ground. I know you’re feeling lost, but you can be found. You’ll see, one day you’ll look back and agree. Until than you have to get out of this sea, if you stay treading deep water you’ll never be free. Keep going, listen to me...Better days are on the way. You’re gunna...

Sinking Ship
I’m in an ocean of my own emotions.
I’m scared I’ll drown as my ship goes down.
This fragile boat, I tried to keep afloat.
I didn’t think it was able to sink.
My body is sore, I fear I won’t make it to shore.
A lifetime of wear and tear, too damaged to repair.
Afraid of the unknown, this boat is all I’ve known.
It started as a small hole, I swore I had it under control.
I tried to stop the leak, I found I was too weak.
Water up to my neck, maybe I should go down with the wreck.
I could surrender to this war, let myself fall to the sea...

Ice
Your heart cold as ice
Why do I have to pay the price?
Your words slice through me
Everyday it’s a roll of the dice,
“Will he be nasty or nice”
It used to be paradise,
But I’m starting to think twice.
My heart and soul is the sacrifice.
All that I’d do, you criticize
All your flaws, I minimize
But wait, pause...
What will you do when I remove your claws?
I’m starting to see your love is a lost cause.
Sick of waiting for your heart to thaw.
I thought you were a rose, But you’re just a prick, A fucking lunatic
I hold...

Amphetamine
Morning coffee for caffeine
Cigarette for my nicotine
Line of amphetamine in between
Without these three, I get mean
Always keep a bottle of saline
It’s my daily routine, I’m an unseen feen
Tried to ween, failed attempt to get clean
Once in awhile I’ll mix in cocaine
I know, I’m insane, It’s how I kill my pain
I’ll admit It’s an expensive habit to maintain
But I don’t like to complain
tried maryjane heard it was better for my brain
Didn’t get the high I wanted to obtain
I like the feeling of being in the fast lane ...

I Finally See You
It started with a panic attack,
Lack of sleep will do that.
It was only a matter of time until my mind cracked.
This relationship turned me into an insomniac.
That’s what I get for loving a maniac.
We sit in the pitch black, my tears are getting harder to hold back.
The sound of the rain against the windowpane, breaks the silence but My body still lays feeling restrained.
I try to maintain my emotions, but your love has left its stain.
My heart in pain...
I have nothing left to gain but I continue to remain.
slowly going insane... ...

I tried
I pretend to sleep, tears dried on my cheeks.
The bed squeaks as you sneak from the sheets. It’s the third time this week...
It’s her to which you seek to go hide and speak to. You don’t know I’m awake, I hear the conversation that partakes. With every soft spoken word I feel my heart break, my hands begin to shake. I burn to ashes from your mistakes...
You return to bed, countless thoughts infect my head. You believe I didn’t hear the all that was said. Tonight my soul bled caused by lies I was fed by the man my heart was set to wed....
Motionless in this...
