The West

i've been sitting around for days
thinking of the things i've done
filled to the brim with remorse
all the nights, and all the suns
the passing time, your shoulder blades
the way they slumped
with all that weight
and the burdens that we carry
were nothing
compared to the taste of the west
freedom calls
american dreams
and our black lungs
say goodbye to those who wait
take the chance and leave today
i'll leave today.
all the places that you've been
will soon be forgotten
taken back by what we lost
hope the end is worth the cost
we've wasted years
i've wasted time
the way he looked at me at night
i was the one once before
now i'm the welcome mat at your front door
and i just want more.

Mornings

Do you still want to be alone?
The birds sing when you're at home
The grass died as all things do
I want to be honest and forgive you
But my heart it holds it all of my hushed tones
The words I'm too afraid to say
Maybe in the end they'll leave me.
Cause all things leave
All things die
And all things leave
Can't hold on if you don't try.
My head it aches, my eyes burn
The film destroyed the story cursed
I hope happiness finds you peace
What was then us is now just me.
You pray to God
You go to sleep
You wake up every morning
Still feel alone and empty.
You pray to God
You go to sleep
And wake up every morning
And do you ever think of me?

Parting

call me by the name i know
the dark's a place i didn't want to call home
throw away boxes of old clothes
pictures fade into the space i don't want to follow.
silent judgment all the words i've ever said
the hell i've made that lives behind my eyelids
fall in love with fantasies of life and death
regret so many things in the life i've lived.
cut my ties and burn my bridges
forgive me please cause i know i'll miss this.
some have god and some have faith
all i have are memories of better days
she said forgive yourself and you won't feel alone
but i never believed in prayer or got on my knees for some holy ghost.
saw the casket and i thought about death
walking down the aisle in a church that i never set foot in
left that day wishing that it'd been me
because she had so much to give and i have nothing.

The Dead

All the shit you put them through
All good things weigh down on you
The night you made it all the way home
Calling your mom on the telephone
Life takes a turn every week
One it’s you the others me
Buried under this concrete
I need you like I need my own blood to bleed.
My own blood to bleed….
Out on everything
My own blood to bleed…
Rip the skin you say I need
I say I’m sorry for the things I’ve done
I prayed to a God that you swore hurt no one
And all good things end as they they come
I am the dying light in the setting sun
What you wanted
What we had
What you wanted
Do you get sad?
What you wanted?
Is it in that place?
What you wanted
The dead don't raise.

Far Away

Writing letters to a home that will never be
The holy waters washing over me
Lay in bed and watch the sunlight waste away
Doomed youth in unattractive middle age.
All my friends are falling in love
While I'm drowning in my own problems
Reaching for something that faded away
Lost in the spaces where I'll never be.
Where I'll never be
So far away from me.
Where I'll never be
You're so far away.
