Aged but unaware
The best times came
Walking forward staring back
you lost it all
you lost us all
load it leave it more to them
shadows upon my eyes show
it’s not the blood but the hands that feed
Purity to be tarnished
lost integrity
a dot on the screen
gnats taking the wheel
We’re the ones who have to take it
the first step is the push of the fail
greased lips and no fucks given
push harder and watch em fall
push harder and leave it to us
there’s no heartstrings when you cut off all the ties
the scavenger of your dreams become your only child
Spare the rod
Spoil yourselves
Turn to oil as we spin in your waste days to pass
miserable and wasted as the life that you make
The past cannot
become their days
settle and rot if you must
but let these people fucking live

Phantom Hymns

What’s a calling to another failed notion
pluck and sing the notes that’s played before
not a drop of value worth for sailing
all else fails and you haven’t even left shore
Dead but feeling
we aren’t living
we’re just wasting time
Forget who I was
Remember who I wanted to be
All or nothing’s not a real thing
it’s just an excuse to hide
Sing all the same songs
while you die inside
I don’t dream in color
because everything fades to black
bleed to find another day
wake and repeat all the same things
a forgotten person shames me
Callous and numb I don’t remember
All I know is we keep coming here and never letting go
Dreams are what they said
we’d have
all we’re holding
is pure shit and the love of it

Let these veins loosen easily
Drill the hole run it out drain me
There’s the fashion we’ve been waiting for
Lose more time, button up your mind
drink another and tell your story
it’s not the words but how you tell it
remember this is why they all come to you
Give us words to make us feel brave
puff your chest and look up so they follow
tie the catch, drain the hope and claim the tribe
Drag your balls on that chrome piece so they know who’s who
Lose more time, button up your mind
drink another and tell your story
it’s not the words but how you tell it
Remember this is why they all come to you to fail
To those who’ll never see
to those who who’ll never look
never awake to see the light
gravel to...
legend to only dirt path
Stand back and watch
How much you could have meant
Blood in Burn Out

Buzzed and Burned

In two thousand weeks I’m gone
years later they’ll never speak of me again
Meanwhile the fire is on the the horizon
And the bucket’s over filled
panic in circles
while I just taste
the blood on my lips
and the pain in this back
Tells me I’m still alive for now
but why should I stop there
I’d burn alive to prove a point
I’d burn alive just to keep my words from falling out
You thought this was a dream when we made the pieces fit
Once the embers settle I’m just the piece of shit
Never your way and never who you wanted to be
it’s not what I turned into, it’s what you made out of me
Go on and take it and we’ll try another day
Go on and take it, it was yours anyway
Go on and fake it, and we’ll burn it all away

While the shadow is still behind me
and the blood is in my favor
I may have a enough time to teach a lesson
Cold and chrome and never changing
I hate myself for feeling this way
but time grabs its hold on me
and the seasons they sway and i’m a swinging
You put this burden on me you called me out
never backed down, now you’re begging me
Don’t you like what you see
in the light you could never
Guilty again
I used to walk away
in hopes you wouldn’t
If you never cross that street
it’s the last chance you’ll crawl to
iron in muscles
screams in a city that don’t care
teeth cracked from pull
guilt pillows my sleep
but I will forget everything tomorrow
tell the same jokes
keep on laughing
and you’ll hear me every fucking day
you will hear me and always know my name

Gone
Sand in our eyes the ground is still and quiet
grab my hand
trace callous lines of harder times
this is a small land but it feels so vast
you can go anyway you want but you’ll always end here
grab it all
take as much as you can
one day it’ll all be
Gone
See these words on the ground the sun shines in our eyes for nothing
I don’t spit unless I know I’m striking next
I won’t speak without knowing what to say
chose your words mean them and hold yourself accountable
I don’t dream
I plan for something better
these days end too soon and in a better light
I hope you remember them
you are not alone yet
I’m hanging on until I’m
Gone
See these words on the ground the sun shines in our eyes for nothing
All I can ever hope is that my sins don’t come to you
all I dream is that you know what not to do
I fucked up
I don’t live in regret
I live to kill myself
drink another and tell myself
how hard I tried
how hard I lied
I must confess it could have been better
I could have cut off my own hand to save yours
it was made for life to be better
it was made for you
i hope it worked but maybe don’t trust me
it’s not a fallout just survive
Just don’t trust me
I hope you know I would never change a thing

Just A Wound

Don’t dream of me
I can’t be the only one
to save us from ourselves
Horizons rise to this occasion in glory
the night falls the victory in passions
but everyday has lost the highs
you’re kidding yourself and there nothing left to lose
When you miss me it’s your lack of control
if you loved me it’s because you hated yourself
I owe you nothing but I'd like to have some
little life left before it all goes black
Blame me as much as you can
I won’t be there to hear it
when you read this it’s my fault too
Every love song lied to us both
I owe you nothing but I'd like to have some
little life left before it all goes black
this is my apology
Blame me as much as you can
I won’t be there to hear it
Let the blood spill
it’s just a wound
As dirty as you can make it
torture is only temporary and i can’t
sit and wait to die with
someone who’s too afraid to try
Our lives are fleeting
no passion
All worries
and I won’t need a reason why
we won’t go back
Cut my lips wide open so I can swear the truth
I could never hold that flame or hold you down
if I never smile again at least I know that
the scars will always tell me why
I did right
