Blades of grass cut into me
Like in actuality they, are real blades
That somehow grew into the dirt
Stuck their roots into the earth and, there they stayed
And I know it’s a hard concept to grasp
I probably sound like a maniac, no one understands what i’m saying
But that’s okay I guess
I say coated with bitterness, i’m just gonna write
Every wrong that i’ve made
Then burn the fucking page
Cause I know it’s not worth it
To think about that shit today
I’ll dust myself off I guess
Shaking off that aforementioned, bitterness
I’ll do my best to take it in
Every single hit with my friends
And i’ll be losing sleep
Just trying to keep my feet, on the ground
I’ll do my best to watch the cracks
Asphalt insomniac, that’s what they’ll call me
And i’ll start to believe
Only the good things people say to me
Maybe then I can catch some sleep
That I haven’t gotten in weeks

Chained to The Misery

Let me tell you a tale
About a good thing gone bad
A product of the mental instabilities
We both had
And even though it’s your fault, I still constantly blame myself
Because I took the warning signs for granted, I thought you were heaven, but you were my hell
You burned me so deep, I doubt that I can sleep
Because in my dreams you’re stalking me, commiting murder in the 3rd degree
The same degree as the burns you left on me
I tried my best to break free, but i’m just chained to the misery
And all the while, you still try your best to be friends
But I think I won’t be able to stomach, hearing your voice again
It’s kind of like beating a dead horse to the rhythm of rattling spoons
Because the lack of substance I find in the words you speak couldn’t make, a dead mouse swoon
You burned me so deep, I doubt that I can sleep
Because in my dreams you’re stalking me, commiting murder in the 3rd degree
The same degree as the burns you left on me
I tried my best to break free, but i’m just chained to the misery

Hey! (1-2-3)

I wear my heart on my sleeve, the one that you once kissed
Little did I know you had daggers in your lips
You sharpened them just enough so the flesh would rip
If I was on a business trip, driving through k-town’s construction, you’d be the sign that says proceed with caution
But hey hey 1-2-3, not gonna let you get to me
I’m gonna keep on strumming
Well hey hey Do-Re-Mi,
Don’t even think i’m supposed to be singing, about you
Oh, Oh, Oh it goes around
In circles
Well babe, it’s a miracle
That i’ve been able to jump these metaphorical hurdles
Because what you lacked was a game plan
Something you could point at and say hey this is how we’ll make it
So I upped my defense, hoping I could make amends
Before you tore down my fence
Hey hey 1-2-3, not gonna let you get to me
I’m gonna keep on strumming
Well hey hey Do-Re-Mi,
Don’t even think i’m supposed to be singing, about you
And i’ll start to say
That everything will be okay
Even if you explode like 20 grenades
I’ll be the army battalion slaughtered in your wake
Hey hey 1-2-3, not gonna let you get to me
I’m gonna keep on strumming
Well hey hey Do-Re-Mi,
Don’t even think i’m supposed to be singing, about you
Hey hey 1-2-3, not gonna let you get to me
I’m gonna keep on strumming
Well hey hey Do-Re-Mi,
Don’t even think i’m supposed to be singing, about you

You don’t know how
Beautiful you are to me
It cuts me up like a piece of broken glass
To know that you bleed
On the inside so deeply
An ocean is forming in the caverns of your stomach
And I know my words won’t block every wave
But i’ll do my best
To calm those storms forming inside you
To create some sunshine and allow those flowers to bloom
On those cavern walls maybe opening up the rocks a little bit
Just enough so I can sail my ship in and announce, my love for my friend
Yet you remain
So humble when you speak
Even though your existence
Brings so much joy to me
And I know right now things aren’t the best
But I know you will get through your hardships
To calm those storms forming inside you
To create some sunshine and allow those flowers to bloom
On those cavern walls maybe opening up the rocks a little bit
Just enough so I can sail my ship in and announce, my love for my friend
