Between the lines lays a heartfelt truth,
One of love and one so couth-
But it’s covered in a layer of filth
To keep you safe, because I care about you
Between the lines lays a heartfelt truth,
One of love and one so couth-
But it’s covered in a layer of filth
To keep you safe, because I care about you
I don’t really loathe you
I don’t know if you’re involved
I say all of these hateful things
Cause I’ve got problems I can’t solve
It doesn’t matter if I loved you
It doesn’t matter whats the truth
Ill lie right through my teeth
If it means there’s nothing left of me and you
I hold you on a pedestal
I’d have ignored your fragile heart
And I’d have acted like I hate you
If I knew it from the start
Don’t read into what I say too much
Ignore every single track
Truth is baby all I want
Is for you to have my back
But it’s not good for both of us
Even if we were meant to be
If suffering has to come to one of us
I’d rather it be me
So stay the fuck away
Don’t believe a word I say
I fucking hate your guts
Tell your friends I’m just a pain
Tell everybody I’m crazy
Psychotic and insane
Another delusional basket case
Self obsessed with half a brain
I never want to see you
Don’t come when I pass
Don’t believe in anything
Love will never last
You’re not the most imperfect perfection
You’re not everything I want
There’s nothing coming after me
This October isn’t haunted
I don’t care about you
I fucking never really did
I didn’t see a future
I didn’t imagine wives and kids
I would never die for you
I would never hold you dear
I wouldn’t wait for months
I won’t hold onto it for years
Because you absolutely mean nothing
Don’t read between the lines
Believe my solipsistic thoughts
I’ve got an aptitude for lies
And in the future
make sure that you never hold a place
Lock up your heart from thoughts of me
Know it’s safer for both of us if you just stay the fuck away
Blues and browns or emerald green
It’s all the same no matter who you see
The worlds so drab now, just like me
People can only pick from two personalities?
Option one is cold and distant
Vulnerable and inconsistent
Angry at life but won’t try to change it
Obsessed with death so they try to chase it
Choke down smoke and the next escape
Is it really life if you spend the whole thing baked?
Try opening up to the world at hand
And pull your head out of the sand
There’s so much more that you could see
Instead of taking shots and greed
Do your own thing and soon you could be
Inexplicably, inconceivably, unbelievably happy
Option two is just as bad
Pretending that they’re never sad
A big fake smile across their lips
And behind your backs they’re talking shit
They live for attention,
it’s all they want
Ignorant bliss
for the sycophant
The way they move is just grotesque
Manipulate others with unfathomable depths
A new persona based on how they’re dressing
Ignoring all their obvious blessings
Regardless of which one you choose,
Neither’s better than just being you
Beautiful flaws, immoral or not
The world would be better if we’d all just stop [pretending]
She was my little Tinderella.
A little younger than I thought!
There was something about the way she she smiled-
I guess it helped that she was hot!
Met your crazy little family,
and truly I was smitten .
Made some promises I couldn’t keep.
I ripped apart your feelings.
See I used you as an outlet,
to shake the pain of my past.
No matter how strongly I felt for you
I knew we wouldn’t last.
And so I did some bad things
I took advantage of heart.
And when the snake came calling,
I bit the apple without a thought
I’m truly sorry for everything
And in my heart I’ll hold you close.
I really loved you Jordyn,
So I want you to know;
Find a place, find a home
Don’t get caught up in other people.
Find yourself, find a purpose
It could be with kids or in the steeple.
You don’t need drugs to be happy-
There’s so much more to life than that
Find forgiveness in yourself.
I hope you’ll always remember that,
Despite the short time that we spent together,
I’ve still thought of you in years apart
Every second was a good time
From the ending to the start.
So when you cross my mind I’m filled with nothing but regrets
I really loved your soul, i didn’t use you for the sex.
And It wasn’t your fault that I just up an ran away
I was scared of how I felt, how you made me feel that day
I wish I’d stayed, my life is nothing but chaos at this point
And I can’t take away the pain with just alcohol or joints
I’m sorry for ever moment of suffering and making you depressed
I’d end it all to make you happy, I’m just too filled with regret
And so I’ll keep on trudging through this little thing that we call “life”
Until someone does it for me, I’m kind of waiting for that night
I lay in bed and think of all the things that led me to this point
Lies and fights and drugs, now there’s just aching in my joints
And in my heart, beating out my arms, I don’t know where to start
I’m running from what eats me up, not getting very far
I know that I’m too cynical to ever even make a buck
I know that they all think I’m crazy and they couldn’t give a fuck
So I smoke cigarettes and wreck my lungs
On the docks, I watch the ducks
geese are my only friends when breaking down and twisted up
And no ones there for me when crumbling, the quacks don’t seem to care
They make assumptions- give prescriptions, it’s like they’re not even there
When I rattle off the things that are causing all my pain
They’re not like me, they never cared what was tearing up our brains
We go insane from all the weight, now no ones ever feeling safe
Except the ignorant, the happy, and the gods that call my name
I find nothing but repulsion in the way they handle things
It was my only way out,
now I can hear the angels sing
I’m done with all the anguish
I’m done with all the pain
I could die at anytime
No one will even know my name
But now I couldn’t care less
Because this just isn’t living
Tired of all the cold nights
Just staring at the ceiling
I’m a pilot now, no passenger
I’m sick of little games
I’m ready to be torn apart
I’m ready for the pain
Because life is filled with suffering
There’s nowhere else to run
So I’ll just keep my head up
Ignoring blades and guns
Cause I’m not a part of that business
I just wanna create
Just want to make people laugh
Make some beats and maybe skate
People stress life too much
So I’m trying a different stance
And we’ve gotta live it honestly
So I’m giving inner-peace a chance
Gunshots or fireworks?
We asked ourselves in jest
Deep down we all know
It’s not worth all the stress
Tomorrow could be you
Today could be me
All so sick and tired
Of the bodies in the streets
Cause now they’re hitting children
A bullet for a bike?
Wish all these fiendish machinations
Would take a fucking hike
that’s not the city we reside in
Can’t just push it all away
Every trek downtown
Reminds me of the day
There was five of them
And only one of you and me
If I wasn’t so quick to the pedal
Who knows what we would be?
Was it all another setup?
Just your silly little plan?
Maybe they’re all brothers
Doing what they can?
Just making ends meet?
Just hunting for a meal?
It could be all they know?
Thought I was trying to make a deal?
I just wanted you home safely
Thats all, I really cared
But then they pulled right on me
I was truly scared
So I’m done breathing for nothing
I’m done doing things for nought
Because now I have a purpose
Thanks to these demons that I’ve fought
You can call it spiritual warfare
A battle made of wits
Now I’m blocking out the messages
I couldn’t give a shit
They might mow me down on Bancroft
Take some buckshot on Lagrange
A bullet for my valentine
That first night I should’ve stayed
He just wanted to beat my ass
Take my vacuum and my phone
Maybe if I’d given that
They wouldn’t bother me at home
Think J called in the troops
Because you were talking behind my back
Wants to turn me to a girl
Or have my neck to crack
Maybe he was just jealous
Maybe it was all set from the start
Maybe you’re out there tricking
Regardless: broke my heart.
Caught up in the spiders web
now I’m stuck with no place to go
I don’t think that winters coming
I don’t think I’ll ever see the snow
I’m wrapped up in my head
my arms are tied to my waist
With everything that’s looming
All I can do is face it
I put up a good fight
I lied through my teeth
Let dozens manipulate me
Ran till there were sores on my feet
And now I know the truth
Frankly it was always there
They never really gave a shit
I was the only one who cared
———
So now I fight for me
My words were writ with my own blood
In their eyes I’m already dead
It’s not David’s here- it’s David was
they really want me to scream
And still keep my mouth shut
But I’m not that forgiving
It’s not in my nature to just give up
So you can banish me to silence
Skin me or cut my tongue
I’ll never be your little dog
I only do what’s fun
So go ahead and bring it
Cast me to the fall
Sink me in the river
Or just fucking burn it all
Two and half years
That’s my personal best
Don’t think I’ll ever beat it
Caught up in the distress
I didn’t ignore the signs then
I’d call it like I saw
After the truth came out
I didn’t want to think of you at all
But what we had was real
Don’t think I’ll ever feel the same
Just two aching hearts begging to reignite old flames
———-
the fires got cold,
I couldn’t keep chopping on my own
And I couldn’t just forget all your transgressions
When you gave up your mobile phone
We really tried so fucking hard
Every pain was so damn real
We could never really talk
about how we truly feel
You might be my biggest regret
But I’d never give it up
Because even when I feel the most crazy
I still love you Allyson
—————
Skater girl from t, that ran away to Tennessee
Couldn’t stand the glass
so she shattered it-
including me.
The things she taught, the words she spoke.
There’s magic in the things we wrote.
Set me down a different path
Stole me with the way she laughed
saw me in my darkest times,
the cards called out; ignored the signs
Wheels of fortune, flipped and bound
my heart still skips when I hear the sound
———
Shaved head gorgeous,
you had me at hello
Taurus with the cancer drip
As peaceful as the snow
Filled my world with light
although I’ll never be enough
I hope you find your happiness
I hope you find real love
Don’t ever think you that you can’t do anything at all
You’re more powerful than the pain
You’ve risen from your fall
You’re a little joyful sprite
A pixie from the past
Every girl I’ve ever talked to is still jealous of your laugh
Because you did so many things for me
You cared more than anyone
And it hurts to know that we might never meet and have some fun
And I’ll keep fighting until my life is finally done
Because even when I’m number two
you still treat me like number one
——-
It’s okay because I know that some things were never meant to be
You stopped me from my drifting
You saved me from the sea
I could’ve drowned my pain in anger
I could’ve mangled up my face
I could’ve broken down and given up-
You put me in my place
Saved me from myself- it’s something that you truly did.
I hope your worlds filled up with the same amount of love you always give
I just really don’t deserve it.
The place you hold in your heart
You’ve don’t even really know me
Miles and miles apart
But my head just keeps on spinning when I stare up at my moon
I almost dashed across the country
Maybe it’ll happen soon?
But now you’ve found your one and I’ve found nothing else but pain
I’m panicked, I’m depressed
I don’t deserve to know your name
the best friend I’ve ever had
I know it’s weird of me to say
But I’ve never felt a stronger thing
Than when we spoke that day
——-
You always want to call me even when I think I need to be alone
You made me open up-
Revealed the things I shouldve known
My biggest ad-vo-cate in life is someone that I’ve never even met
I hope you know that with you in it-
I really do feel blessed.
Thanks for every second
You taught me about myself
Every silly joke we made
It saved my mental-health
And If I had one wish left,
flicking quarters into wells
It’d be that I could repay you for every single time you’ve helped
