Bloodshot Skies
05:20

Something is a happening all through my life
People are complaining and it’s just not right
Let’s just count our blessings fight with all our might
We’ll get through this together with no end in sight
So many complications and I don’t know why
Not sure who to trust how many more have to die
Sickness turns to shootings who turned off the lights?
I’m looking to the heavens at this bloodshot sky
Gross leveling
Forming a thicker skin
I’m sorry if I sinned
My love is gonna win
Climbing the wall
For the glory of it all
I’m never gonna fall
I promise to stand tall
Come on take my hands put the boxing gloves on
Glorious uppercuts till the break of dawn
Slipping and I’m falling but I won’t be wrong
Cause you’re gonna know my message by the end of this song
Stretch my mental muscles flipping through the dial
Nonsense from the left while dodging from the right
Who’s gonna cure my symptoms while I sit and cry
This ground is looking better than this bloodshot sky

My Bottom

I start to worry
I don’t know where I am now
The sickness
It makes me anxious
I have to find my way home
My bottom
Is a complicated bottom
But it’s no different than all the rest
This worry
Doesn’t come up in a hurry
So i have to make it stop
Dark corners
Bring out the horrors
This track is stuck on repeat
I’m crying
I feel like dying
Please make this all go away
Stained canvas
Can’t stop this madness
Why did I do it again?
No mercy
I feel so dirty
I’m gonna make myself sick

Burnt

Thinking how
When I try to overcompensate
It never works
Fall flat on my face
Don’t dust off
Just Show them that you can be hurt
Run on fumes
Traveling to reach a place to stop
But it’s not for me
Always is
For the others who just take it
What’s in it for me?
Here we go now
It’s not ending
Shut the hell up
Stop pretending
Once I extend
Think it’s the end
I’m burnt
This hurts
Just how come
People like to bite the hand that feeds
It’s a stupid thing
I always say
Better to want than to be needed
Can’t I receive both
How many
Times will I step on the exact same nail
Puncture hole again
It is the
Wound that never gets the bandaid
Guess I’ll keep the scar

Don't put me on a pedestal
Just give me streams of honesty
And I'll give you the tools you need
But trust me, I'm not an angel
I've done things that people don't like
I have thoughts that just aren't right
So let's just try to leave it right there
Don't ask me, I'm not your savior
Believe in the book of you and me
It's so clear that you need some help
Just rise up, let go of that anger
You don't need me to tell you this
Because believe me, I'm no professor
I got problems that are my own
My little book of sins are all full
Let's just try to see if we can just
Live with it, cause I'm not your father
Believe in the book of you and me

The Wolf Who Cried Boy
05:17

It's getting dark and now it's time for bed
I just can't drift off
These thoughts are starting to creep in again
I just can't fight it
The pending stages are trying to be set
I can't pull the trigger
It's constant battles waged within my brain
I must admit it
Cause I'm not the one
Can't this be undone?
You like to tease me with your signs of hope
You are not helping
Glimmers of hope that like to sneak right in
You just can't help it
I like to light the fire and piss it out
You just don't see it
Fishing and hoping for a sign for a change
You want to fight it
I'm not the one
I just want to be done
We start to figure out the path is grown
We just can't connect
I thought that I would have a lot of time
But time, has run out for me
I guess I'm not the one

Quarantina
04:07
|
|||
|
Here she comes now
Dressed in purple, dark and black
She's come to give me a new soul
Fishnet stockings
She's got heavy boots and knee high socks
I'm so afraid she'll lose control
Quarantina
Going you leave you in the dust
Unless you've come to give me hope
Quarantina
These four walls are closing in
Please entertain me with your scoul
Sleeves of color
Dripping of sexual appeal
I wonder if she knows it
Smells of Patchouli
She grins at me while she's causing pain
Black lipstick is left on my flesh
Quarantina
Going you leave you in the dust
Unless you've come to give me hope
Quarantina
These four walls are closing in
Please entertain me with your scoul

Just Right
03:53
|
|||
|
It's early morning and I wake up and I just want to start the day
I open the door and I see you fast asleep
You look so peaceful and I can't believe you came into my life
Unconditional and the meaning of true love
I feel my body aching
I often wonder what I'm gonna do
When I get older, will you just stay the same?
I hope you won't forget me
I never want to not have you around
Because you're the one thing, that I did just right
We look at photos of when you two were young and It always makes me smile
But now you're grown up and I'm starting to turn gray
I get afraid that when you get old enough I'll just be holding on
To these frayed pics of who we used to be
I wonder if I'll make it
I hope that I get the chance to walk you down the aisle and hold your hand when we have that first dance
I hope I did a good job
I never ever want to disappoint
Because you're the one thing, that I did just right

Tastes Like Paste
03:22
|

I see
All these things all about me
Making things that just can't be
Don't take things I don't believe
all that well
Twisting
Taking things that I'm missing
Dragging hints that I'm clenching
Don't you know who you're kissing?
It's pure hell
I can see your comments and they taste like paste
(come on now)
Copying textbook responses then erase
(quit playing)
This just doesn't sound unique it tastes like paste
(pure nonsense)
Dropbox feelings plagiarisms
Plead your case
Wondering
What's the agenda you're offering?
What's that price that I'm paying?
Choke down lies till I'm coughing
I might drop
Thinking
About the things that you're wishing
It's not me I was drinking
That's not true this is stinking
All to Hell

The Sweet Mistake
03:51
|
|||
|
There is a point where I start to feel like
I lost my touch
Things they bother me so much
I start to feel the pit of my stomach
Start to churn, I don’t understand the burn
But once I start to release the anger
It’s never fails
That sickness still prevails
I take a deep breath and I’m reminded
This won’t do
I want to go back to you
The sweet mistake
Turned into another
Some hearts will break, but I won’t go under
The sweet mistake
Won’t impair my judgement
What will it take
For me not to go under
I miss the days where I was able
To face my fears hold on to things so dear
But Now I’m scared of my own shadow
It isn’t me
I don’t want this to be
I really try to build my muscles
Get leather skin so I can finally win
But then there has to be a reason
For me to do this
And I think that it’s you

The first
It was the worst
I felt so cursed
I thought it was me
One look
Was all it took
For me to cook
This hairbrained master plan
Please
Help me
I'm scared
You see
Cause I'm so blind
Can't find
The cure for a broken mind
The second
It didn't end
I found a friend
But not a companion
Why try?
Look to the sky
I want to fly
Into the darkness

Please Can We?
06:58
|
|||
|
When I hear your voice it calms me
It makes me think of yesteryear
Your arms around me feel just like home
Don't ever let go of my frame
It starts with lips
Then mouth opens
Like you're going to inhale my soul
A feral animal that needs care
Bandage each other and go home
They say no
Why can't we?
I love you
So dearly
I can't wait
I've waited too long
We can't fail
So please can we?
I won't stop
Sincerely
My heart knows
Just what it deserves
We say goodnight and I can tell you're all alone
It's not fair this bed is built for two
Recollections of the past, sometimes are gray
But then you color in the lines for me
I want to know if I can go back to holding hands
The static makes me want to break the dial
I won't give up, I can't give up I know there's hope
You make me want to love again

Sunshine passes through
Warming of the cold sheets
Feel the gentle breeze
Making me so glad I'm here
Let's go outside
See the flowers start to bloom
Sun begins to shine
It always puts me in the
Mood to see you standing next to me
Sundress shines to show your gentle curves
Running through the grass
Falling down and rolling round
To see the stars
It's a shame we can't stay here
But then why not?
Fireflies will light the way
Let's keep this night
Meet me when the Springtime ends
And then
We'll never cry again
Sweet the sounds
Those waves are crashing in
Grass turns to sand
The ocean calls to us
Dip our feet
And kiss me while we wade
Sun bleached hair
Your skin is freckling
Don't look back
This is where I belong

There was a time when I really believed
That true love came with a warning sign disclosure
Do not take this unless you are sure
That you are ready for the nasty side effects
But then I realized that it's always hard
Everything comes with certain risks to assess
Sometimes you can't worry about the outcome cause
The stars can never shine without the darkness
Once I was able to put my defense shield down
I could accept to a chance to take some shrapnel in me
I just don't like to be made a fool or worse than
Walking around like I'm some daydreamer
I'm just afraid that I'll fall back down again
Into a world that is way too familiar to me
Mistakes were made that I hate repeating
But I just can't sit and not take the gamble
