I’m waking up to this new day but it’s colder. I’ve got these battle scars up and down my arms; I need this weight off of my shoulders. And with a sigh of relief I can finally sleep at least for one more night now that she’s out of my dreams. Still I feel no remorse; they say it’s normal of course. When your heart’s broke in two and your tears stain the floor. Everything we’ve hoped for, everything we’ve dreamed will crash straight down before your eyes; you’ll never get to see a way to the solution to avoid catastrophe, so I’ll write myself off and I’ll sing to this song in hopes that you will leave. Now if memory serves, you completely deserve every bit of the angst that you thought you had heard; So I’ll take my revenge as our sad story ends, I’ll turn my back on you just like the rest of your friends. Everything we’ve hoped for, everything we’ve dreamed will crash straight down before your eyes; you’ll never get to see a way to the solution to avoid catastrophe, so I’ll write myself off and I’ll sing to this song in hopes that you will leave. Now I’m sorry to say that it ended this way. We’re not the only ones that have been here today although I’m not innocent I know it’s hard to admit all the things that we did were worthless in the end. Everything we’ve hoped for, everything we’ve dreamed will crash straight down before your eyes, you’ll never get to see a way to the solution to avoid catastrophe, so I’ll write myself off and I’ll sing to this song in hopes that you will leave. (I’m waking up to this new day but it’s colder. I’ve got these battle scars up and down my arms; I’ve let this weight fall off my shoulders)

I saw the shadow of a bad week walking out the door and furthermore, I'm ready to get this long night started; No More feel good songs for the broken-hearted. A simple message to relate the fact that you're only down from that knife in your back. A short exchange of words to get this started; the best damn day that we will ever part with. I try to make every day, every breath somehow worth it in the end cause every smile made or promise kept always turns out for the best, and I'm still not sure what I'm fighting for. Eventually I'll open the right door and when that day comes I'll be ready to take the floor. Every day I take a new risk, walk out on a new limb just to try and keep my attention, but sometimes I find that I can keep my eye off of the prize which leads to further suspension. A simple message to relate the fact that we're moving on and never looking back. A short exchange of words to get this started, the best damn day that we will ever part with. I try to make every day, every breath somehow worth it in the end cause every smile made or promise kept always turns out for the best, and I'm still not sure what I'm fighting for. Eventually I'll open the right door and when that day comes I'll be ready to take the floor. It took a short exchange of words to get this started. It took a shot of light to dark and that's what sparked it. It took a sudden change of pace to light the darkness. It was the best damn day that we will ever part with. I try to make every day, every breath somehow worth it in the end cause every smile made or promise kept always turns out for the best, and I'm still not sure what I'm fighting for. Eventually I'll open the right door and when that day comes I'll be ready to take the floor.

My Other Identity

Every other day somehow I seem to change and nothing ever seems to go my way. Then I break down, I’ve got nothing to say when I’m inside my other identity. I’m two different people at two different times. I can’t ever make up my mind. There’s a shadow hanging over head but in the end I’m just like they said. Everything can’t go their way cause everyone still has a say in my other identity. People all mistake me for someone else, but I’ve got to stay true to myself. I’ve got a whole other life, filled with everything except for strife. I’m two different people at two different times. I can’t ever make up my mind. There’s a shadow hanging over head but in the end I’m just like they said. Everything can’t go their way cause everyone still has a say in my other identity.

Can you please speak up? I’m more than sure that no one’s listening, and even with your constant urge to scream, from where you’re standing they won’t hear a thing. Will you please look up? Those eyes were meant to see. You were caught off guard, when you tried too hard to knock my knees out from under me. You need to wake up, this isn’t just a dream. Who do you think you are, you’ve never been in charge I’ll refuse to let you pull my strings I’ll admit you had me. But now I shiver at the thought, The two of us alone, so set these words in stone, You can’t live without a heart .Pull the floor from under me. Let me fall down and break both of my knees. Now take my only hope of fully letting go. I hope that you regret to see that you’ve torn apart the best of me. I know you never thought that it would come to this. This untimely feeling of hopelessness. It’s just one more thing that would leave space between. We’ll never be as close as you saw in your dreams. And remember that day, that you threw it all away. It’s funny how you think it’s okay. Pull the floor from under me. Let me fall down and break both of my knees. Now take my only hope of fully letting go. I hope that you regret to see. That you’ve torn apart the best of me. Now I’m sick and I’m hurt, these bruises, all from her. And these scars are what’s left of all that she’s broken, like these bones that’ll never set, trust me I won’t forget. Swallow my pride and spit out my regret.

How was I supposed to know that it was all downhill from here, never mind my own outcry cause I’ve got lines to fill. And people always ask me why I do it for the thrill, well my heart is racing, palpitating and I love the way it feels. Shut up shut up I need a break. There’s only so much of your voice that I can take. And if you listen closely, you’ll notice it’s not just me. Like a friend with a bad attitude, let’s bring the noise to ruin the mood. I can’t fake this anymore. I’ve given up I just can’t win. It’s not like it was too long before I was stuck in this nightmare I’m living in. There’s no way we’ll even the score. I did my best to not give in. So cut the rope I’m out the door, ready to start this over again. Soaked in sweat, my bones and back are cracking to the core, I try to lose myself, forget my health, to make them come back for more. Shut up shut up I need a break. There’s only so much of your voice that I can take. I can’t fake this anymore. I’ve given up I just can’t win. It’s not like it was too long before I was stuck in this nightmare I’m living in. There’s no way we’ll even the score. I did my best to not give in. So cut the rope I’m out the door, ready to start this over again. Shut up shut up I need a break. There’s only so much of your voice that I can take.

I’m sick and tired of this wasteland, it’s not a home to me. I’m just another hypocrite, but that’s typical in this city. And everyone’s got rivalries, but what’s the point in that? They’re just looking through a camera lens that’s still got on the cap. I’m growing sick of these local kid’s that are warring on the scene. Starting fights because they think they’ll gain some sort of credibility. But that’s not what we’re here for, it’s not how it’s supposed to be. We’re trying to rebuild something that doesn’t live here in this city. I’m calling all of you out, you’re warring down on this town, and I can’t let it go. You’ll fall face down to the ground, no one will care to help out, I just hope that you know.

I’ve found I can see the truth behind my destiny, and I’m the only one that I can blame for my own broken heart I need to stop this game. Is it impossible for me to find, someone to trust I can’t confide, in anyone that’s in my life, you were all I had until you said goodbye. I’ve gotta get out of here because I know I don’t belong, I’m living my life in fear, and every beat my heart, makes I put into these songs. And every day I’ll recollect, my memories with no regrets. I’m getting out, I’m getting out and I am never coming back. Time has altered my mind, I’m sick of never being right, they say the glass is always half empty, but I’m no pessimist, I have to disagree. Is it impossible for me to find someone to trust I can’t confide in anyone that’s in my life, you were all I had until you said goodbye. I’ve gotta get out of here because I know I don’t belong, I’m living my life in fear, and every beat my heart, makes I put into these songs. And every day I’ll recollect, my memories with no regrets. I’m getting out, I’m getting out and I am never coming back. Is it impossible for me to find someone to trust I can’t confide in anyone that’s in my life, you were all I had until you said goodbye.

I tried my best to fix the fucked up part of our relationship, and it seemed to be a little more than just a chip. I tried to put back together what I never thought was broken till I found it severed, and I assumed that this was it. And I knew it was too good to be true, but I should have seen that it was just another fluke. When you leapt out of the way ,in an act of haste. I guess that’s what sparked the start of your distaste. I’ll never forget the day, those memories will stay engraved inside my head, like I always said, you can’t take back what you never meant. And it’s not that hard to see the difference between you and me, I put it all out on the line just for nothing. And I knew it was too good to be true, but I should have seen that It was just another fluke, when you leaped out of the way, in an act of haste, I guess that’s what sparked the start of your distaste. I’ll admit that we had something, but from the start this ship was bound to sink.

I’ll take a look at the past few years after all that has happened in spite of my fears. I’ll take a look at the good and the bad, all the struggles that my past has caused me to have. But I’m not changing just to fit in with them, no I’m not changing just to fit in. I can’t believe you still don’t understand me, after all I thought we were friends. We’ve got so many memories that I know I’ll never forget. But somehow you just threw away, something that meant the most to me, and now you’re back where you remain, just another track wrapped in cellophane. And you still don’t see the reasons that I’m so jaded, it was the friendship that you dissipated, and you still don’t realize how you made me feel inside, because it tore me up before I could even try. I’ll take a look at the past few years after all that has happened in spite of my fears. I’ll take a look at the good and the bad, all the struggles that my past has caused me to have. But I’m not changing just to fit in with them, no I’m not changing just to fit in. I’ve learned so much about you this past summer break, and honestly I don’t know how much more that I can take, of all that stupid shit that you just think you need to fake. I’ll wish you luck but if you keep this up I’ll just forget your name. You still don’t see the reasons that I’m so jaded, it was the friendship that you dissipated, and you still don’t realize how you made me feel inside, because it tore me up before I could even try. I’ll take a look at the past few years after all that has happened in spite of my fears. I’ll take a look at the good and the bad, all the struggles that my past has caused me to have. But I’m not changing just to fit in with them, no I’m not changing just to fit in. After all is said and done, those memories will burn into the sun, and I’ll remember all those glory day’s, too bad they had to go and fade away. There’s nothing left to say, I never thought you’d go away. There’s nothing left to say.
