Snowing

Let's try and drown out my thoughts
Over another glass tonight
Though my throat and stomach burn
I still feel cold inside
I can't find any shelter
I don't think I'll ever find a place
Where I truly feel at home
These distractions are constant
Like a siren blaring on
Keeping my progression at bay
And my focus far off
Sometimes the only thing
That gets me through the day
Are these sights of my dog
What'll happen when she's gone
You can see that I'm sick
But I don't need to talk
Everyone thinks I'm an addict
But how else do I cope
The clocks are counting down
And I'm locked out
Drift away in sleet and snow
Can't rectify what's lost
Sick of going to work tiered every day
Waking up broke every time I get paid
Maybe I was born to die this way
Just trying not to make a mess
With every step I take
I don't want to be here anymore

The Pines

Found some bones in the pines
Made me think about death and life
Paint all the highlights in gold
And let rust consume the withered and cold
Dust is whipping up inside these lungs
Spew ash from my throat
Spent a lot of time passing the days
Behind a blindfold
The gray consumes me
Steel and love cut me down
What would it take to turn the pages back
How much is there left to burn
Caught a glimpse of the sky
And the glow that fell through the pines
I hope that when I die I can see some light
That I've left behind
Will I still have any hands to hold
When I'm just skin and bone
Will I sink into my regrets
Of all the things that I never did

I'm longwinded with nothing to show for it
Getting by with this game face on
Faking smiles all the way
Such a tragic case of the blues
Causing me to drag my feet
Just can't seem to ever find a good pace
Watching from the sidelines
Struggling to find the good in anything
Is it deprecating not being the man
I always said I'd be
Maybe I'm the one that peaked years ago
And gave up on climbing
Always thought I'd bloom by thirty two
But gave up growing by twenty three
Repeat these words over again
While I try and fall asleep
You've got to do more than
Just trying to make it out alive
I'm so sick of feeling numb
Like moving forward is just useless
Am I too much of a coward
To face the man in the mirror
Or maybe I just gave up

Keep on telling myself to hold on but constantly ask what the fucking point is. These things just keep adding up. Everything I could ever want has been handed down for my entire life. These things will never change.
People always say when it rains it pours and I haven't seen the sun in such a long time. I almost forgot what it looked like. Almost forgot what warmth felt like.
All my friends are growing up and moving forward with their lives. And it just feel like I'm falling further behind. From all those ropes that once held me up, they all got cut and left me stranded here without a crutch.
I've always been told it's about where you go and not how you get there. Whenever I take two steps forward it feels like I fall three steps back.

Circles
03:50
|

These four cold walls
It's felt like forever
Since we looked to the sky
Just a glimpse of heaven
Caged birds never open up their wings to fly
We're all just trapped in a barrel waiting to die
Caught between heaven and hell it seems
We're all just running
We're all just running circles
Tell me the truth
Did it all really start with you
Or will we just tell in time
How I lost my life
Laughing tortured
Kiss goodbye innocence
Broken bottles emptied
Forgot common sense
The paintings on these wall
Are the only color that's left
Break open this shell
And make up for time well spent

Cloud 9

Things always stay the same way
Every night when I close my eyes
And complacency take it's place
Trying to find the right words to say
But they never seem to come out the right way
I've spent all my time
Falling from cloud nine
But now I'm finally home
Looking back things end the same way
It starts with hollow composure
And leaves a vacant frame
Sometimes you have to dig yourself up
Through the dirt
Just to make it back
From outside your own grave
