Scars

The heart kills
These feelings come in waves
As we bleed our emotions dry
Into our early graves
Love given away
To those undeserving
Cutting our teeth
Heartbreak is so unnerving
From the first to the last time we meet
My heart beats for you
My tears are for everything
They put you through.
So young, so scared,
No where to go
Our pain is shared.
My heart beats for you
My tears are for everything
They put you through.
So young, so scared,
No where to go
Our cross to bare.
You were always told
To never explain your pain
So hands over your mouth
Hang your head in shame
Now you’re so alone
No one knows where you are coming from
As you waste away
Marching to the beat of your funeral drum
My heart beats for you
My tears are for everything
They put you through
So young, so scared
No where to go
Our pain is shared
My heart beats for you
My tears are for everything
They put you through
So young, so scared
No where to go
Our cross to bare
You can not lose yourself
In memories of someone else
Every scar on the heart
or hidden on body parts
Tells your tale of woe
I hear loud and clear
Even if we never spoke
You're not alone
We stand together in our pain
Different yet the same
My heart beats for you
My tears are for everything
They put you through.
So young, so scared,
No where to go
Our pain is shared.
My heart beats for you
My tears are for everything
They put you through.
So young, so scared,
No where to go
Our cross to bare.

Breaking

Breaking another piece of me
Adoration has ceased to be
Hate is such a strong word to use
But unfortunately, not for you.
Obsessed with your heartless soul
Feeling myself growing old
In love with your heart of stone
Gave you my all yet i’m alone.
If all of this Is really true
Then what should I do?
I feel so cold and empty
Within me without you
And maybe you're the one
But what does that me?
Since nothing is perfect
Is this how it’s really meant to be?
You told me somethings never change
I find that sort of strange
Without this misery
What sort of vessels would be?
There’s always something better
I’m sure you deserve more
Since you're not the same person,
That I had fallen for.
If all of this Is really true
Then what should I do?
I feel so cold and empty
Within me without you
And maybe you're the one
But what does that me?
Since nothing is perfect
Is this how it is really meant to be?
We're breaking up again
I can't remember when
You weren't on a mean streak
This has all turned so bleak.
We're breaking up again
I really can't remember when
There were any loving words to speak
This has all turned so bleak.
We're breaking up again.
We're breaking up again
I really can't remember when
There were any loving words to speak
This has all turned so bleak.

Coffins
03:41

I got this old casket
Weighing heavy on me
Dark thoughts in my mind
That the light was hard to see.
Wrists deep in the soil
With a hand full of dirt
Stained finger nails
Pain left within the Earth.
The heart keeps on beating
but no blood will ever come
Everything is dreary
No matter how bright the sun.
You can't keep on dragging these coffins around
You can't keep on wishing for something more profound
You can't keep on dragging these coffins around
You need to leave them in the sutured ground
The old sins of the father
Become new sins of the son
Regrets lay heavy
his battles were never won
Teaching his child
To speak with his fists
Aggressive tendencies
Affection with a violent twist
A belief in the debt
That the world owed him gratitude
Believed his was a good man
With a do no wrong attitude
Unlearn his lesson
As the years continue to creep
Every bit of him in me
Has been buried six feet deep.
You can't keep on dragging these coffins around
You can't keep on wishing for something more profound
You can't keep on dragging these coffins around
You need to leave them in the sutured ground

It was a lovely year
Everything was easy then
There was nothing that I would change
I'd do it the same all over again.
Enchanted
The spell we were under
Nights of freedom
Times of wonder.
Now it's gone
Like a drag and a half
Blown out the window
In a photograph.
Life is different
Days go by
Isn't it funny how time flies?
From when the moonlight was casting it's spell
And our desires were parallel.
If you think I forgot
Then I will recall
If you never knew I loved you all
In those euphoric summer nights
When everything felt just right.
Heavy headed
Groggy eyes
A light laughter
A simple sigh
A crooked smile
A squinting look
A bite of the lip
And a breath you took
Exhaling for cutting ties
With people who had traumatized
Us for so long
Now we do as we wanted
We were standing strong
Life is different
Days go by
Isn't it funny how time flies?
From when the moonlight was casting it's spell
And our desires were parallel.
If you think I forgot
Then I will recall
If you never knew I loved you all
In those euphoric summer nights
When everything felt just right.
We never thought of the future
We were victims of the past
We embraced our present
Knowing that we would never last
And timing is everything
And time never stands still
You'll find your own moment
When you give it your will.

And that time we were free
Those nights were made
For you and me.
