I Always Knew

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

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

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

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
