I'm so sick of your lack of compassion, your cold eyes and your passive aggression You look right through me like you never knew me My bones are weak and my skin is bruised and scarred I don't know who you are anymore I let you abuse me How could you do this to me? This constant rejection is digging deeper everyday You focus in on every imperfection I can feel you slipping away but I don't want to let go What did I do to deserve this? (the pain you caused) Was it all on purpose? (I gave you my heart) You just made me feel worthless (we're too far gone) Nothing could ever reverse this Now I know what's coming but I'm still not ready to let you go I don't like what we're becoming Just talk to me Please let me know that I'm not losing you I always knew you'd be the one to break my heart in two It's too much to take I'd say I need you but you'd never believe me I have to move on I know that you don't need me Well that may not be true But what else could I think when I listen to you You put yourself down every step of the way When I tell you I love you, you don't believe me Why cant you believe? Now I know what's coming but I'm still not ready to hear those words I wish I could start running so this pain in my heart won't get any worse. I know I'm losing you. I never needed you You never needed me You never needed me And I don't need you

Can you give me a cogent reason why I gravitate to things that no one likes? And do I really want to be this way? No. But I itch and I can't scratch My back is aching for the lash I'm a glutton for the punishment but starving for what I can never get For the first time in my life I just want to do whats right with a childlike wonder That wont put me under you. For the first time in my life I just want to do what feels right with a childlike wonder That wont put me under you. And sometimes I don't want to be anything, anyone like me And though the world must share my hate, why is it so hard to relate? Well lately now I find I want to be innocent, experienced at the same time And time is precious agony It's never ending yet fleeting from me You don't know whats in my heart but I can show you You don't know whats in my heart

Jamestown 03:25
These drunken nights are starting to bore me I'm turned off every time you ignore me Your constant lies are becoming too much to take and this high school drama does nothing for me All I wanted was your honesty But you couldn't just be honest with me So I'm moving on from this mistake You fade away with every breath I take I'm sick of trying to fix what I can't change And I feel sick when I hear your name Another day Another bottle Another way to drown your sorrows Cant imagine what its like to live a life so numb So devoid of all emotion Look at what you've become You're a shell, a shell of what you once were Can't look me in the eyes and give me a straight answer Now I'm down on my knees Can't figure out how you feel And I'm begging you please Just tell me this is for real So I'm moving on from this mistake You fade away with every breath I take I'm sick of trying to fix what I can't change And I feel sick when I hear your name I'm letting go of the idea of spending my life with you You were never in love and I was never enough Now I'm making room inside for someone deserving For years I had tried not to share any space Thought that part of me had died with no will to fight. Now I'm feeling revived I hope this never goes away

Miranda 02:42
I can't find the humanity/I'm all alone We can't change what we're meant to be/I can't condone We're no different. We are simply beasts/What we all do We kill our own if it fits our needs/Can we improve? We were not meant to be more than animals We were not meant to be more than animals We're hunting in packs, killing together They tell us they think they can make people better They can't because this is all we are I'm not part of humanity/I'm all alone I can't change what I'm meant to be/I can't condone Can't be saviors/What we all do Kill our brothers/Can we improve? We selfish animals who walk the globe Looking out for ourselves is all we know We're hunting in packs, killing together They tell us they think they can make people better They can't because this is all we are

Misbehave 04:01
I'm a masochistic optimist scared of everything I'm up against and I can't find solid ground with my head up in the clouds Sometimes I don't wanna be here but I'm looking for acceptance Searching for some common sense in a bundle of contradictions And when your life is spent coping with living can you really call that living at all? And can you be sure that you have perspective while you're shielding your eyes from it all? So take me as I am/ And you can take my hand while I talk about the long run while I can barely stand/ And I'll make the best laid plans because this is who I am Just someone trying to make sense of what I don't understand It's like a stress test to have a normal conversation Too much anger and frustration at the surface And all that I am basing this is being subpar at relationships And the toll that this is taking is obvious And when you spend your life coping with living can you really call that living at all? And can you make any progress with your back against the wall? I'm the sum of my experience, plus all the places that I've been I hope that's enough in the end Divided by the pain I feel, plus all the love that makes this real I hope that's enough in the end

I'm not concerned This world is smaller than it seems Maybe if you look outside you'll see just what I mean And I don't mean outside your window Perspective is so quintessential A captain's role is not that simple I don't ever realize my potential (I use) ten percent of my brain and I'd kill for the other ninety Maybe then I'd have the strength to put my own road blocks behind me So I'm making plans to change this misanthropic mind of mine and i've got a funny feeling I actually mean it this time. Because if I stay for one more second, my soul will die at twenty-seven And I won't pay the cost for another lowlife lost I take back what I said. I'm quite concerned that there's things I should have learned, like the right things to do to keep my breathing Because I can't think about salaries or calories, formalities They all just constantly fight me and it does nothing for my psyche. Just to stay alive, I had to give myself away We had a funeral and a birth on the same day It took me all of a year to accept that I'm okay We had a funeral and a birth on the same day
