Laughing Back

You are school, you are drugs
you are everything that sucks that I have done
You are ten bad days, all rolled into one
I was a fool, but never dumb
And for all of this, I'd rather save my lungs
This is what I call a mess, and what everyone calls love
I was low, I was high, shit I got high a thousand times
To try to stop the replay in my mind.
That didn't work became a jerk, a restless asshole roaming the Earth.
The world it seemed to laugh right in my face.
Right in my face...
Look who's laughing now
I picked myself up off the ground
It's a gift that I'm not with you anymore
I see it clearly now when I see who your around
They only like you when your on your bedroom floor
Felt the cold, felt the sun
I was stained by your ever-lasting scum
Cant believe I gave you time, you rightfully own none.
I grew mold and I got burned
I guess this was just my lesson learned
Fucked up once, but now I'll get it right
You did me wrong, I wrote a song so the world could sing along
And let em' know how terrrible you are.
You are...
Look who's laughing now
I picked myself up off the ground
It's a gift that I'm not with you anymore
I see it clearly now when I see who your around
They only like you when your on your bedroom floor

Could Be Worse

Time, I waste away at red lights
Stop and go the motion
as I'm swimming through this ocean filled with headlights
Tryin' to find new ways to justify my escape.
As I try, to pick apart these days
but, living was the case and I've been bribed
Cause they told me so many things, but wrote me off in the midst of my being naive
My life was just a party, getting high with all my friends
But I knew the game was rigged when I originally bought in
Surviving this but hardly, cause, where are all of them
Now Im beat and broken tryin to tie up my loose ends
Skylines, a slow and steady chase
but a trip that I will take to make it mine
Won't stop trying, till I feel it in my hands
or I crumble to the sands and
on my last dying breath I
Just might up and die.
Leave my shell
Float through the aether
I don't wanna come down
I hop you don't either
At least not till I figure this out
My life was just a party....
On and on and on it goes...
Take two steps forwards just to take 11 back
Then I ask myself how do I get back on track.

4 am, not sleeping
What the fuck is wrong with me?
My heart is, my weakness
You drug this through mud and leaves.
It's times like these that I beg you not to stop
Its nights like these that your pullin on my strings until I fall apart
I think today
I'll take back what is mine
Take back the space your rent inside my mind
For once in my life
Take it back just to throw it away
Your problem's
you don't hear me
Should I speak louder until you get the point?
My problem's
I say too much
I'm too honest, but that's not what you want
It's times like these that your begging me to stop
It's nights like these that I try to fall asleep, but I still wrestle with my thoughts
I think today...
I know what it's like to be a ghost
Now I'm taking back every sunday
we held so close

The Truth Is...

We pull ourselves in and out of the box because we needed to.
We've fooled ourselves into thinking in terms because they needed you
On a record we've spun, we've begun a rigid repeating groove
That we need to break out cause until now because we needed prooof.
I think it's time we all woke up
The truth is
We know your full of it
The truth is
We're calling off your bullshit
Point our fingers laying the blame
as we all just shake the hurt
Denying shame staking our claim
on top of coffin rich dirt
Playing games, diggin our graves
as we're all just taking turns
Pushing daisies in a race to see which one is first
I can't live life safely on the ground
The truth is...
Oh god we need this change
a reason for me to exhalt
What's insane is staying the same
and expecting different results.

Underdog in an Overcoat

Im alive shudder and split my lazy eyes for the first time
Wondering why I always felt like an alien in disguise
Introverted was the verdict and the cause of my remise
I'll be damned, but I understand that this caged bird needs to fly
I hate this place
It feels so fake
So take your pictures they last longer
sometimes I feel just like my father
I wanna run away from everything
I think I've had all I can manage
I'm calling quits cause I can't stand it
Gonna' seal my fate and see what it brings
Inside every broken home
There lies a cockaroach
bent on making it out, from the depths of the wet basement under the house
As it climbs on the wires in the walls
Done with it all
From the striving to survive, to the dirt kick in his eyes when he crawls
But if there's a light at the end of the road you know I'll be gone
So take your pictures...
I've felt this way before
I feel I'm breaking down
I'm begging at my feet,
don't fail me now
I've seen this place before
At least a thousand times
I'm beggin at my head don't lose my mind.
This is the taste of self-liberation
emancipate myself through this song
I'm unchained...
Look at your pictures now
I hope you wrote this down
Cause I'm foreal when I say,
I'm getting out.
