Broken Home and Empty Chairs
The ghosts of us pace and stare
Amidst the abandoned hopes and lies of where
we sacrificed for dreams we prayed were true
Echoing creaks from the stairs
A broken home with empty chairs
Is all that's left of everything I knew
Come back
Come back
Come back, please
Amidst the abandoned hopes and lies of where
we sacrificed for dreams we prayed were true
Echoing creaks from the stairs
A broken home with empty chairs
Is all that's left of everything I knew
Come back
Come back
Come back, please

Bollocks
Blessed be the chaos
Tread careful, lest be obnoxious
Let her fly, let him climb
Take a hand and ride out the cost
Sell your soul for a follow
Give up your pride for a like
It's what it is, when there's nothing left
But cheap conversation and social theft
LIfe's just peachy, throw you a coolbeans
Grown out of what you're offering
Get your part-time man to throw you a forty
I'll end up pointing the finger, next to you in a coffin
Play the game as you feel luckier
Make the moves you need to feel alive
Feel...
Tread careful, lest be obnoxious

LIfe's just peachy, throw you a coolbeans
Grown out of what you're offering
Get your part-time man to throw you a forty
I'll end up pointing the finger, next to you in a coffin

No Lullaby
As it turns out for me
There's no goodbye
As it turns out to be
There's no lullaby
Singing notes to the plucking of strings
There are no words to say
The sound of tears as she sings
And the sun grows tired of today
Another box and epitaph to give
Seems there's more death than life
There's not much life left to live
Just a moth fluttering around the light
As it turns out for me
There's no goodbye
As it turns out to be
There's no lullaby
Another tearful cookout, we all eat our feelings ...
There's no goodbye
As it turns out to be
There's no lullaby
Singing notes to the plucking of strings
There are no words to say
The sound of tears as she sings
And the sun grows tired of today
Another box and epitaph to give
Seems there's more death than life
There's not much life left to live
Just a moth fluttering around the light
As it turns out for me
There's no goodbye
As it turns out to be
There's no lullaby
Another tearful cookout, we all eat our feelings ...

With a Grin
Even wolves will eat their own
The faithful are creatures of habit
Smile and let them have it
Alone, I find safety in darkness
A lone; I've escaped in the madness
I ate the snakes in the garden
Abandoned unto myself
Don't call me selfish
When the gate is locked
Atone; there's price in the sadness
A moment, to inflict
Broken chains rattle more in the quiet
Broken people are quick to requite
Even wolves will eat their own
The faithful are creatures of habit
Smile and let them have it
Alone, I find safety in darkness
A lone; I've escaped in the madness
I ate the snakes in the garden
Abandoned unto myself
Don't call me selfish
When the gate is locked
Atone; there's price in the sadness
A moment, to inflict
Broken chains rattle more in the quiet
Broken people are quick to requite
Even wolves will eat their own

Last Cigarette and Blindfold
Drinking by the well
I've tossed hundreds of wishes
Fed the fates every penny I could find
Thinking all is well
I've prayed thousands of times
The only answer was losing my mind
One more step
Just one more step
Smoking one last time
I've died so many ways and here I am
Not that you cared when I was alive
Writing one last rhyme
Remembering the faces, flash like a shot
Straight through the brain and out my eyes
One more step
One last step
I've tossed hundreds of wishes
Fed the fates every penny I could find
Thinking all is well
I've prayed thousands of times
The only answer was losing my mind
One more step
Just one more step
Smoking one last time
I've died so many ways and here I am
Not that you cared when I was alive
Writing one last rhyme
Remembering the faces, flash like a shot
Straight through the brain and out my eyes
One more step
One last step

As Above...
a child and broken
silent and left unspoken
it turns to violence
lost the innocence
lost my hope along the way
lost the willingness to pray
gained the conciousness to say
take my hand or get out of the way
buried in memories we left behind
never seen again, but never far from mind
five into one, one and done, done and gone
sunday morning comes and I'm left alone
lost my wings so could learn to fly
discarded halo only brought glancing eyes
gave in and never looked away
gained the conciousness to say ...
silent and left unspoken
it turns to violence
lost the innocence
lost my hope along the way
lost the willingness to pray
gained the conciousness to say
take my hand or get out of the way
buried in memories we left behind
never seen again, but never far from mind
five into one, one and done, done and gone
sunday morning comes and I'm left alone
lost my wings so could learn to fly
discarded halo only brought glancing eyes
gave in and never looked away
gained the conciousness to say ...

Stages
Wrote a letter today and threw the fucking thing away...
Wrote another letter today just to throw the fucking thing away.
Walked right up to your door
Just to turn around and run away
I see you through the window
Knowing there's nothing left to say
I begged and pleaded my way through every tragedy
Left in anger and bargaining energy
Sometimes love is destroying yourself
And never asking why
Sometimes love is destroying yourself
And never hearing
"I'm sorry" is all I wrote
A thousand...
Wrote another letter today just to throw the fucking thing away.
Walked right up to your door
Just to turn around and run away
I see you through the window
Knowing there's nothing left to say
I begged and pleaded my way through every tragedy
Left in anger and bargaining energy
Sometimes love is destroying yourself
And never asking why
Sometimes love is destroying yourself
And never hearing
"I'm sorry" is all I wrote
A thousand...

Untitled Rap
busting in your ear drums
busting in your ear drums
hits harder than the drugs
screams louder than your guns
busting in those windows
busting in your ear drums
feel okay today, might be an individual
the end is nigh and the past perpetual
put it to you now; there's no fucking schedule
learn to swim or drown in the baby pool
cut the cord and watch them squirm
bitching you did nothing for them
twitching like a half-assed worm
can't trust none as far as i can throw 'em
"all the best people..." are...
busting in your ear drums
hits harder than the drugs
screams louder than your guns
busting in those windows
busting in your ear drums
feel okay today, might be an individual
the end is nigh and the past perpetual
put it to you now; there's no fucking schedule
learn to swim or drown in the baby pool
cut the cord and watch them squirm
bitching you did nothing for them

Say Anything
if i ever say anything at all
i'd say watch for the fall
if i knew anything at all
i knew it'd be that easy
afterall
hanging from the same tree
buried six feet below
the only way to be free
is letting go of the halo
if i ever say anything you'd hear
i'd let you know i'm sorry
i gave you something to fear
if you'd know anything of me
know that i wish you the best
and the love, you couldn't find here
handcuffs and a rosary
no keys and a checklist
the only way to be free ...
i'd say watch for the fall
if i knew anything at all
i knew it'd be that easy
afterall
hanging from the same tree
buried six feet below
the only way to be free
is letting go of the halo

i'd let you know i'm sorry

trust
delicate dispositions
menial faith rots and lies
as questions persist
and leave you in what if
fragile feelings
words said in vain
spare the truth
live in fabrication
excitable eccentrics
feed the propaganda
hidden from light
books burn bright
I am a speaker
I am a seeker
I will leave you there
I will not reach down
hill tops and mountains
reveal the distance
one step back
into the knife's point
i was your son
i was your only
but you...
menial faith rots and lies
as questions persist
and leave you in what if
fragile feelings
words said in vain
spare the truth
live in fabrication
excitable eccentrics
feed the propaganda
hidden from light
books burn bright
I am a speaker
I am a seeker
I will leave you there
I will not reach down
hill tops and mountains
reveal the distance
one step back

i was your son
i was your only

Tear You Apart
freelance assassin
every target is hit in the chest
leaves you broken and responsible...
you've been hit by the best
long-suffered and less delusional
excommunicated, self-martyred
let this be a confessional
unapologetic and unforgiven
fingers are numb, nails are bitten down
trade one habit for another
learned nothing from what i couldn't keep down
and everything from my mother
in my own tears i drown
lest i offend my father
bottom of the barrel, disguised as top shelf
i thought i had what it took ...
every target is hit in the chest
leaves you broken and responsible...
you've been hit by the best
long-suffered and less delusional
excommunicated, self-martyred
let this be a confessional
unapologetic and unforgiven
fingers are numb, nails are bitten down
trade one habit for another
learned nothing from what i couldn't keep down
and everything from my mother
in my own tears i drown
lest i offend my father
bottom of the barrel, disguised as top shelf

The Blacksheep
searching, in nature;
i always wandered off from home
a lonesome creature,
i always felt safer on my own
watch another sunrise
cry and contemplate
the love i lost
and that which turned to hate
trade one for another
step through another gateway
eyes closed except for the other
dead to the world, lest the truth
slip away
here's to prophecy
and the self, nelgected
god named me
and left me, dejected
i had a mind to love you
but what's family without blood
i spoke what was true ...
i always wandered off from home
a lonesome creature,
i always felt safer on my own
watch another sunrise
cry and contemplate
the love i lost
and that which turned to hate
trade one for another
step through another gateway
eyes closed except for the other
dead to the world, lest the truth
slip away
here's to prophecy
and the self, nelgected
god named me
and left me, dejected
i had a mind to love you
but what's family without blood
i spoke what was true ...
