Without a Paddle

There's a sinking ship
On the horizon
Represented by
The bed I lie in
I feel this sense
Wash over me
It's like I just
Am committed to misery
These thoughts are like daggers
Sinking into me
And the worst of it all
Is that i'm my own worst enemies
It's not a hard observation
I'm losing this battle
I'm lost in this stream
Without a paddle
My heart is an anchor
That's already dropped
Weighed down by
All this bullshit that I've thought
You've brought this pain
This suffering onto me
Now I know that you don't even care
That's clear to see
These thoughts are like daggers
Sinking into me
And the worst of it all
Is that i'm my own worst enemies
It's not a hard observation
I'm losing this battle
I'm lost in this stream
Without a paddle

Punching Bag

My knuckles are bloody
Cause I imagined your face on my punching bag
And I know that wasn't the healthiest way to deal with
The weight and the stress, you left me to drag
And I just wanna know
If you finally feel whole
Or do you get that sinking feeling in your chest
Like I do?
Like I do?
My shoes are muddy
Cause I imagined your face all over the wet grass
I stomped out some bugs along the way
Kinda like how you stomped be out that day
And I just wanna know
If you finally feel whole
Or do you get that sinking feeling in your chest
Like I do?
Like I do?
Just break me some more
You can leave my crippled corpse right at your front door
Delivery for a liar and a thief
The only crime was invoking the rage in me
And I just wanted to know (Just wanted to know, Just wanted to know)
If you finally felt whole (Finally felt whole, Finally felt whole)
After leaving that dark whole in my chest
That I call you
That I call you

Bleed For You
04:55
|
|||
|
Ashes spreading like wildfire
Dark thoughts begin to aspire
In terms of getting better
I'm doing the least
I'm shaking and I feel incomplete
For you i'm tearing myself at the seems
I'd go through this hell again
Just to get to be your end
The one who gets to hold your hand
I wish you would take notice of me
And how i'd bleed for you
Your reaction would probably be
Not knowing what to do
Well you could leave me on the spaces of your carpet floor
As long as I got to kiss the spaces in between where you once walked
I'd slit my wrist raw
I'd not have any gauze
I'd bleed out for you
Just know this to be true
I'd rip out my still beating heart
Give to you
Allow you to consume it
And let it flow like food
My love is your nourishment
And i'll allow you to dine
Although you've stolen all my colors
And committed your crimes
I wish you would take notice of me
And how i'd bleed for you
Your reaction would probably be
Not knowing what to do
Well you could leave me on the spaces of your carpet floor
As long as I got to kiss the spaces in between where you once walked
I'd slit my wrist raw
I'd not have any gauze
I'd bleed out for you
Just know this to be true

This was a high school love
One that you would not recover from
And rightfully so
I hope you choke
On the fact that i'm not yours
Anymore
My heart's in pieces
My mental state too
It's all in shambles
Because of you
Don't call me a pessimist
I'm more of a realist when it comes
To these sort of things
And I know you couldn't give a shit anyways
So i'll continue to sing
I'm not longer a part of this scene
You were my alcohol
It's time for me to get clean
And meanwhile as i'm tearing apart at the seems
You can rip me apart further back
Make sure my heart is still in tact
And give back your key
This was a true love
One that you would not recover from
The fragments are so
Scattered about
Kind of like the bursting out
Of your shell
That never tended to happen around me
There's a whole nother you
That I didn't see
Fuck this and fuck your family
For giving birth to such a
Catastrophe
I'm trying to recover from this tragedy
As it's giving me a battering
I'm not longer a part of this scene
You were my alcohol
It's time for me to get clean
And meanwhile as i'm tearing apart at the seems
You can rip me apart further back
Make sure my heart is still in tact
And give back your key

To Light a Fire

To light a fire
I'll ignite a spark
I'll be the light that guides you through the dark
I'll be the one to nurse to life
That barely beating heart
I'll hold onto you so tight
I'll be your guide
I will show you that the future is so bright
When it involves
You and I
And as the stars collide i'll move the planets to align
I will use my way with words to make you feel something inside
And while the stars up above don't dictate our own lives
I know that you will be alright
All I desire
Is you and I
All I desire is to be the one
That gets to stay by your side
I will aspire
To be the best
I will use all my knowledge
Of the English language
To cascade into your
Happiness
And as the stars collide i'll move the planets to align
I will use my way with words to make you feel something inside
And while the stars up above don't dictate our own lives
I know that you will be alright

Masterpiece

I used to call you the brush
And I your canvas
But as you painted your next picture
I could feel this regress
For after you left
I could the presence of you placing your hand upon his chest
I wasn't enough for you
There's nothing I could do
And although the art you made
Never was for me
I'd still
Buy it at the highest price and have it framed
For if I could keep this one masterpiece
It would be for the thought of you and me
And what we could have come to be
It took Ages to find the words to paint this imagery
You threw my heart in the kilt my skin is blistering
I'll just have to chisel at this nagging thought
That you were never my own from the start
It tears me apart sometimes
But I'll use my own art to make it subside
I'll continue to write straight from the heart
As you continue to write straight between the lines
And although the art you made
Never was for me
I'd still
Buy it at the highest price and have it framed
For if I could keep this one masterpiece
It would be for the thought of you and me
And what we could have come to be

Flowers

I am just a humble sunflower
I'm just waiting to grow
Though spring time is nearing
I have never felt so low
It just feels like a forever winter
For a small sunflower like me
But I know that you don't even care because
You're of the tall flower species
Though I know
I'll never be a strong as tall
I have enough heart to survive
And even though
That's something you may not care to know
Because I am just a humble sunflower
Waiting to grow

I found myself
Entangled in your sheets
And although I don't mean much to you
You mean something to me
I'm just another
Number in your book
One with pages in which
You never look
I was just another
Human for you to break
And for being that
I've no one but myself
I'll just push it back til the goddamn levee breaks
I'm sorry for just being
Your mistake

The Flood
04:33
|
|||
|
It's pouring outside
But it's not rain i'm discussing
It's the tears from my eyes
Cascading to make this into a sea of nothing
I jot these words down
As the flood begins to form
And I see you there
In the deepness of that flood
Though you've stolen all my colors
You've still found a way to make me turn dark blue
Though i'm paddleless and broken
I'll still build a boat just to get away from you
I've fulfilled your need for a heart to break
And now i'm letting you go
It's darker outside
And the downpour is crushing
My will to survive
Is ground up as you can see
It's nothing
As I watch the wind blow
I felt the ground shake
And also then soon
I felt it all give weigh
I've given you all my chances
I've took a knife to the back too many times to count
As I continue to fill this ocean
I stick my head under til my lungs give out
I've fulfilled your need
For a heart to break
And now i'm letting you go
