I'm sorry this took me so long,
but I'm starting it off right.
I have so much to say,
i kept every word bottled up.
I found a home, but not where I was born.
Misplaced and judged,
he thought he had me beat,
but this meant more to me.
I'm nothing like you!
I am myself, but that's never enough!
Beaten down to the ground
Searching for something that's found
Hey dad where are you now?
You lost your son in the crowd.
Fuck you!
Beaten down to the ground
Searching for something that's found
Hey dad where are you now?
Where the fuck are you now?
My past is shaking
from the thought of being free.
My life is breaking...
Blood split from the family tree, Let's go!
Twenty Years!
Gone So Fast!
Looking Up!
Never Look Back!
My head is up, I'm walking down the road I once paved.
It's in my blood, but I've changed my mind and I will..
Die this way!
I'm beaten down.
I'm searching for something....
Beaten down to the ground.
Searching for something that's found.
He dad where are you now?
You lost your son in the crowd.
Where the fuck are you now?

Dreams, while I'm awake.
These images are forming a future part of me - a future far from reach.
Oh, if only you knew how I thought, how I feel.
Then maybe you would like me;
Or maybe you would hate me.
For what I am; what I can be...
I finally see that my own dreams, my own goals, are breaking me.
For I look forward to the end of me.
This is my best.
This is my worst.
A broken mirror I stand looking for,
Reflections of what I can be, a piece of shit. Always me.
Black with the dark of what I see, or my intensity.
This is my best.
This is my worst.
A future forming far from reach,
For what I am what i can be.
I try to feed the good in of me,
but I'm on a budget and my demons are cheap.
They see the greed shine through my eyes,
All seven sins that I can't hide.
They break me down
Like waves and tides
I am the moon that cannot shine.
The wolves, they howl.
Longing for an answer.
Clenched teeth starved with hunger.
They're longing for an answer. They wait.
I am the leader that was left behind.
I am the brain that has lost it's mind.
I am the word that can't be defined.
I am the moon that cannot shine.

I show a smile, teeth glistened and all,
but it's short term, feelin' unbreakable.
I stare at the mirror and look in deep;
never seeing a man standing on his own feet.
I'll admit my flaws, I'm nothing much, but If I had no legs I wouldn't need a crutch.
And all I see is just an act,
No mind strong, individual lacks.
Born to hate right from the start
Grew a mind with a little heart.
Fashion statements are only trends
To get well known you gotta lose your friends.
Were not in it for the fans in line.
You fucked up! You crossed thin line!
You're so hardcore
but what do you really stand for?

From day to day, massachusetts bay.
You strive for a life you found in a shameful place.
Belittle yourself, you've lost all hope.
To live a day, excuses to cope.
Morals gone, values hung.
Youre drowning in the eyes of a vulture.
Is this your closure?
You adjust your posture for your culture.
Another night, a dragged out fight. walking out the door.
To speak again, just a friend, I see so much more.
And time is something you forget to count.
Falling apart from yourself.
Youre in control, no-one else.
In this world, times are tough.
Break away from this. Break away!
Change is what we hold inside
and choice is what seperates the rise from the fall.
Oh how you could stand so tall?
Can you please break away from this world in your flourished flight?
Senses peak, feeling anxious,
your heart sinks, i found your weakness.
I'm the reason for your stomach pains. I'm the reason for your coldest days!
Can you feel the wind run through your face?
Listen to what it has to say.
Senses peak. Feeling serene.
Your heart sinks. You found durability.
You're the reason for your coldest days.
You're the reason for your better days.

Long Live

Tomorrow is the first day of my life,
and it starts with a change.
My thoughts whispered of a different place.
This time my friends stay till the end.
These mirrors, I can stand.
When giving up was the way to go,
Two stone walls had this to show.
We all follow the same road,
No matter what path we take.
They can't take what we hold inside,
Our heart, our pride!
We never die.
Hold!
Even after you've lost it all
Time is fast, clockwork past.
You can't expect it to last.
And I, am still trying to hold.
I'm not giving up this time.
And I, am not giving up.
I'm not giving up this time.
I'm alive, I'm free, nothing means more to me.
I'm alive, and I live, these words are what I give.
I have so much more to give.
This world seems to break beneath my feet.
Every road, every street.
I stand tall never talking a fucking seat.
No care of every fucking fear!
And I, am still trying to hold
And I, have not given up.
I'm not giving up this time

We can say, our lives are spent and wasted on the things that we can't reach.
It's an endless gaze at an ocean with eyes, that can never see.
What we're looking for, at the other side.
Within reach is that time and laughter that's worth living for.
Why live each day aching for some other way?
Live for every day that brings you closer to death.
So what matters now, will always matter later.
This time I will finally break free from these tight links.
Wide eyes to see the brightness of the snow.
But lately I'm breaking in this world that I'm making out to be a verse from the walls of Alcatraz.
Alcatraz glistened white.
Three feet of hopeless snow
Alcatraz blackened white.

Cold Days

She felt the chill running down her neck from all those pills and cigarettes.
Mind gone. No one.
Her will grew weak and substance won.
It's called suicide, losing all she loved.
No friends in sight, she felt the bite.
Addiction is all she knew.
From Long Island she cried.
I'm just a person, she got worse and I couldn't save her
Inside I can feel it burn
She was a liar, a filthy liar, I was so naive.
Such lies, such lies a bag to buy
And she felt the burn, once him and her met.
It just dressed the wounds that haven't healed yet.
Inside shes blind. Hazed mind.
As shards of glass filled her eyes she died.
The weight of the world was crushing her
She was dead in a world full of life
Her last glimpse of light she looked to the sun
Oh, I'm looking back to when this all started.
With that being said, I feel so cold hearted
I am the honest stealer
Reminisce of a death dealer.
God has abandoned me. God damned.
I'm running out of options,
Trying to get rid of her voices
Hung up on my old choices,
With nothing but her last cigarette.

I am feeling the winter, I am feeling the cold. Sit near the fire as my story gets told. With each laugh and expression I'm breathing in gold. But if I die I'll never know what my legacy will holds.
It was fall of last year, when a man came to me from weary travels. A scar on his cheek, knees shaking weak, eyes blacked out from what he's seen. Cigarette smoke, alcohol: array of all the above. He speaks to me in a language that my tongue has never heard of.
This could possibly be his way of telling me he's lost everything. He's been dragged through the mud and shows hate in his blood. I'm feeling nervous, scared half to death. But in my heart I feel the warmth in his chest. The moon is bright and I'm shaking cold. This man looks like someone that I should know.
He looks mundane from the frigid air... or the chill from his bitter tears. I look closer to what's in front of me: A broken man drowning in the sea.
Body shaking, cold and soaking wet.
Knees covered in mud, hands in mourn and regret, and as he cried, I'll never forget those heartsick words that came from his breath
I've been running away,10 miles down an empty highway;
Not knowing what I'm looking for.
I'll keep searching.
"I've been running over icy mountains
Walking over burning glaciers
Treading under treacherous waters
And still I feel, feel like a coward"
But as I look to my swollen feet and well scraped knees I can see that man that came to me, bled to me, cried to me, is really me.
