Deterioration of a first love Words exchanged along with a number We were just friends that talked once in a while Laughs flew and tears fell That's where it started; all with one simple smile That one day at my house when you asked to hold my hand You scooted a little closer and started to blush My heart jumped at your brave little gesture It was just a fun, innocent crush We became inseparable, like best friends but more Unlocking our hearts to the pain ahead Our blissful romance could only last so long We were so ignorant then Remember that night we laid in the grass Searching the dark sky for scars? I guess you found them b

Star light star bright First star that I see tonight Close your eyes Nice and tight Make a wish Then look for the light then you see that your first star That once shone so proud Has been erased By a passing cloud I wish I may I wish I might Have this wish I wish tonight But the stars aligned And gave a sign Which dimmed the hopes Of a wish divine So go to bed and fill your head With thoughts of perfection Because the ones in waking life Will soon be dead

friends to the end tats what we promised that's what we said holding hands unprepared for the bumps that were coming ignorant to life's problems so the car went flying and I slammed through the windshield but you went to check on the other driver before you came to save me and I laid there dying crying watching the crimson color cover the road as you held her and all I ever wanted was for you to be my friend but friends don't let each other die just like that. so my eyes were opened and now everything's so clear you're a pathetic jerk basing judgments on looks then telling me what to do. "oh she's wearing a short

You're eating me up, invading my mind Covering my eyes to make me blind. I toss and turn in bed all night long Will you just tell me where did I go wrong? Why did you choose me to torment? I can't hide you; you've marked me with your scent. You've twisted my mind into tight little knots You're inside me now, and have captured my thoughts. You're making me crazier with each passing day You win; you've captured your prey. You may have my mind and my body too, But my tattered heart isn't for you. It's the one thing I can protect from you no matter how hard you try So why don't you just kiss it goodbye? I'm leaving now; I hope this

Staring at these faded walls/they've been soaked for years with forgotten phone calls/the clock hanging on the hurting wall slowly unwinds/the numbers fall violently that nobody will ever find/the view changes to a foggy mirror/the stranger talking back to me is growing a little clearer/I see the reflection of my heart nailed to the door/finding meanings have no meaning but to make you work more/as the pillow makes a death bed for my head/my arms resembling wings, widely they are spread/for all the lies ive been told/there's a few truths from you're lips that I will hold

History is fake Its all subjective When was the last time you read a history book written by a killed soldier Books are just words Sorted into opinions If you want a book of facts Go do some math problems Stare at the golden ratio In a setting sun While grasping hands with your lover Then you will find the truth Truth is found In standing up for what you believe in When you see two men kissing on a bench Or see a baby held in her white dads arms While the black mother is paying the bills Go find a teenage boy Burning the American flag Ask him why And your answer will be nothing but The truth.

"goodbye doesn't mean forever" those were your parting words that lonely august noon that night as the sun was melting away it told me "goodbye doesn't mean forever" the next day I stared at a cloudy sky and the rain tried to put out my cigarette we passed silence back and fourth handled it in our tattered hands while repeating those words "goodbye doesn't mean forever" in a broken heart I let go of the silence And wrote a melody Left a blood stained guitar on my pillow Next to the verse that sang "I guess this time goodbye means forever"

Nightmares inching towards your brain Feelings that you cant explain Trust is just a shredded sound Love has yet to be found Everything is running mad Everything that I once had Is dead And through the blood I begin to tread Memories make a movie in my mind Pain like this is one of a kind So come one, come all And watch my great fall And empty stomach and blood on my face Is where I find my quiet place Throwing up a broken heart Take a picture, consider it "art" I watched my happiness rise in flames And in the background, you laughing at your games So tear me up, into tiny little shreds And kill me fast, maybe ill burn bett

Everything inside looks like everything I hate And it's not possible to escape your fate Your heart will die as your body lives on As your smiles are buried in the gloomy dawn. Love is overused but you can never get enough It gently falls over you to make life rough Just as the joyful oblivion pulls you in The stranger that the world has become begins to spin. Your empty lies flow out through your lips This is all so unreal, if feels like were reading scripts Your words sting me like alcohol on a fresh cut This needs to end, the door needs to shut.

A pitcher full of dreams I watch as you pour it down the drain I yell and I scream Trying to explain that that's my life Gone The stars I used to wish upon Aren't shining bright tonight I wont look to them for a wish No not tonight But who knows if you even care Who knows if you hear my cry Does anyone besides you know Because you may be one big lie You turned from a dream I couldn't believe Into a nightmare I couldn't forget But its not time to give up hope No not quite yet So go on and pour out my dreams Maybe fill a glass for yourself And soon everything will be just as it seems That'll be the day I come back for my pit
