Masks
mask that I wear to cover up my darkness
last of my cares Imma cave into starless
nights starving light Imma lie with the heartless
Right out of mind I buy what I bargain for
what are these emotions, can't give back 'em, no
thorns in the roses, yeah I know how that go
lost in the concept of self
cost of a soul that I'm willing to sell
-
I'm flying away, rising above
to change it all for love
seated in silence, eyelids closed
see what I am, not what I know
-

Day 2
18 months of recovery and I am back on day 2
A 3-day heroin binge, what else do you expect an addict to do?
Every day sober is a miracle and I had many,
but complacency snuck in and my old ways came back out
Let go, let it out, never seemed forever loud
of the voice in my head screaming to vacuum up the powder
I cannot give up this, for to quit is to die
what's inside the abyss, lonely nights of vice and sin
There is no starting over, that illusion has been smashed
I walk a path not on my own, but only some god may know...

Worst Ways
You say you want me to change
But I do not think I can
Think again and you take it back
Still miss the chance that you think we had
Same life, new phase
I do this while you chase
New heights in the same space
I move twice while you wait
Thought about it and thought about you
Everything I thought it all came true
Know I nodded and I acknowledge
I put us through hell in the worst ways
No more digging our graves
Pick it all up, feels great to say this
And I won't let you get in my way ...

Everything I thought it all came true
Know I nodded and I acknowledge
I put us through hell in the worst ways
No more digging our graves
Pick it all up, feels great to say this
And I won't let you get in my way ...
