Ego
I felt the passion when you were explaining how you felt
You got angry and started berating me after
I tried to give a shit.
I tried really hard
I was diagnosed with indifference
Im kind of self conscious about it
You could be a little more sympathetic and understanding
You got angry and started berating me after
I tried to give a shit.
I tried really hard
I was diagnosed with indifference
Im kind of self conscious about it
You could be a little more sympathetic and understanding

Solitude
The solitude that used to terrify me
Has now become my comfort
I had no choice
Fighting only amplified its power and oppression
So instead I chose to reconcile
And we finally made peace with one another
Has now become my comfort
I had no choice
Fighting only amplified its power and oppression
So instead I chose to reconcile
And we finally made peace with one another

My Death
When I die there'll be no tears
No one to reflect on my younger years
No gathering of people to lay me to rest
No feelings of sorrow will be expressed
Alone in life and so too in death
I won't cry out with my final breath
Ill welcome death with a warm embrace
And thank him kindly for this final grace
Ill be placed in an unmarked plot
To join the others this world forgot
No one to reflect on my younger years
No gathering of people to lay me to rest
No feelings of sorrow will be expressed
Alone in life and so too in death
I won't cry out with my final breath
Ill welcome death with a warm embrace
And thank him kindly for this final grace
Ill be placed in an unmarked plot
To join the others this world forgot

Epitaph
Here lies Rob
May he rot
In his final
Resting spot
A wasted life
Bereft of joy
Forever just
A lonely boy
May he rot
In his final
Resting spot
A wasted life
Bereft of joy
Forever just
A lonely boy

Sitting here with a gun to my head
Getting ready to pull the trigger
Do it
The reasons all keep mounting up
The pile is getting bigger
Do it
All alone no one would care
If they did where are they now?
Do it
They use me up and toss me aside
This I no longer allow
Do it!
Just one little squeeze is all it takes
Make all the pain go away
Do it!
Everything good in my life I destroy
There's no reason for me to stay
DO IT!

If I Could
If I could tell you how much you mean to me
If I could open my chest and show you how my heart beats for you
If I could take all these feelings and put them to words
If I could make you feel the weight of my affections
If I could impress upon you how important you are in my life
That I would...
Live for you
Die for you
Kill for you
Lie for you
Steal for you
Cry for you
Give for you
Try for you
If I could...
You would use it against me
If I could open my chest and show you how my heart beats for you
If I could take all these feelings and put them to words
If I could make you feel the weight of my affections
If I could impress upon you how important you are in my life
That I would...
Live for you
Die for you
Kill for you
Lie for you
Steal for you
Cry for you
Give for you
Try for you
If I could...
You would use it against me

The Vow
While they all left it was you that stayed
And helped me make sense of the messes I made
Quiet and stoic when Im releaing my rage
When I feel invisible you give me a stage
My wingman when I want to capture a heart
You soak up my ugliness and make it an art
In times when I feel like I need some insight
You come to me softly and tell me to write
My soul finds a calmness I desperately need
Never controlling you follow my lead
Through the depths I have traveled with you at my side
Never once have you judged...
And helped me make sense of the messes I made
Quiet and stoic when Im releaing my rage
When I feel invisible you give me a stage
My wingman when I want to capture a heart
You soak up my ugliness and make it an art
In times when I feel like I need some insight
You come to me softly and tell me to write
My soul finds a calmness I desperately need
Never controlling you follow my lead
Through the depths I have traveled with you at my side
Never once have you judged...

Thinking out loud
Ive heard it said
You don't know what you have until it's gone
Perhaps...
But sometimes
You didnt know what you needed until it left
You don't know what you have until it's gone
Perhaps...
But sometimes
You didnt know what you needed until it left

Starving
You told me that you loved me
I ate that shit up
With a voracious appetite
Like a bear eating its first salmon after hibernation
I didnt chew
I didnt take the time to savor
Swallowed it so fast
I didnt even taste the poison
You must have laced it with

Running
And Im still running after all these years
Legs ready to buckle, eyes full of tears
I have no destination, yet I keep up the pace
No finish line to speak of, not trying to win a race
Its fear that drives me to keep pressing ahead
Couldn't defeat my pursuer so instead I fled
A game of cat and mouse that I forever play
Its got my scent and tracks me like a hunter does its prey
Just out of sight but close enough that I'm aware
One misstep and it will trap me in its snare
Can I keep on going or should I turn and...

Better off
I've lost my light so I've lost my desire
The darkness consumes me like a raging fire
Its a losing effort to extinguish the flames
Will I be another victim that heartbreak claims?
I try to push on and get past the pain of loss
But my heart is shattered and I cant carry this cross
I refuse to believe this is how we were meant to be
Youre with someone else and I still choose not to see
Without you nothing is worth doing, especially living
Separated from your heart and the love you were giving
Its too much to...
