Third generation


All this pain closing in
pressure from every side has got me running
Advice comes to cloud my plight and opinions breed my confusion
I will admit I haven't been this scared in so long
A friend lost with no explanation strikes me as wrong
Family should not disappear when they disagree
Just goes to show your love was faked
Not once did I think
You would abandon me in my time of need
There's no sense in trying to be someone I'll never be
So save your spite and walk away
Just walk away

Up and out


Just these words to right the wrong,
One simple phrase, two hands to play along.
Instead of matchbooks, backyards, and knives,
We play with sharper blades, run them through our sides.
Drop innocence, use common sense,
Protect yourself, forget your friends,
Kill the lights, walk out the door, time complicates, we're not kids anymore.
There's not a price to pay that could replace our trust
Count the passing days,
Time can't rebuild what's lost.
We are not the same,
We'll never be the same.
We are not the same.

When I was alive walder III


I kicked it altogether last night. I had this dream I was alone.
It's been lying with me for 9 years and counting.
Got what I want, why am I miserable?
Kick this new addiction out, it's grown up.
Inherited and on the hush.
From a smiling drunk to the embarrassing lush, love what?
I'm a magnet to whores and such. Now the happy disguise?
The pill does this on its own.

And like Thoreau, it's a quiet place for me.
The sticks or the woods, it's all miles away from you.
I got an angry thirst.
We're all whores.
I got a sad, sad thirst.
We're all whores.
I had a happy thirst, but then came you.

I'm getting right back on it later tonight.
It takes my mind off of the phone,
how it's been silent for 2 weeks in my pocket.
How'd I ge so fucking loveable?
Take my Midas shit-powers to give out.
Apologize to who I touch.
I could have ruined you too,
but I was beaten to the punch.
Hug what? Why should I care who you go fuck?

And like Thoreau, it's a quiet place for me.
The sticks or the woods, it's all miles away from you.
I got an angry thirst.
We're all whores.
I got a sad, sad thirst.
We're all whores.
I had a happy thirst before you and I.

If I loved this, then why do you make me sick?
Why do you make me sad?
Why do you make me sick of your poor sick mouth?
Stop ruining it, for the last few months seem fucking years.
Oh to crack for this marginal sex with your dirty shit to spit,
why do you make me sick?
How many tricks until it drips with this ugliness I've found?
I'm falling down.
Why do you make me?

When will we learn


It's all the same, putting others down to take their place
Wasting away, strung high on attitude
Did we forget we all came from the same start?
It's all the same, dissent in the name of unity
We hear your words
But where are the actions to merit the glory you say you deserve?
It's just a claim

It's all the same, putting others down to take their place
Wasting away, strung high on attitude
Did we forget we all came from the same start?
It's all the same, dissent in the name of unity
We hear your words
But where are the actions to merit the glory you say you deserve?
It's just a claim

Eyes blink and we grow older
Why not wiser?
Differences that once decorated now divide
Hands throwing hatred only waste their time
Time that could build us up, instead of keeping us at bay
Instead of building walls brick by brick
They've gotten tall enough to black our minds
But now it's time they fall

Looks like we need to step back
And learn to value the person inside when we stare across a crowded room
Release all of the preconceived notions that haunt us
It's sad to see so many entertained at their own expense
Talking such good game, casting off every shred of integrity
When will we learn we're all the same

You always said


Some things are just the truth,
Like how the sky is blue,
And wheels will always roll.
A mile won't pass without me missing you and it breaks,
It breaks through my skin.
The click's still ticking,
Everyone that's still breathing has more important things to do.
Call off the morning, stop the light,
I can't forget hard as i try.
Start in on long nights where we gag on thing that we never got to say.
Lost sight of brighter times,
Two of the brightest eyes closed forever yesterday.
I'll reach for the stars and pull them down,
Tie them up inside your arms and learn to move on somehow.
You made me feel like in this life there's not
a minute worth wasting.
Now I don't know, I don't know how to walk away.
But you have my word,
I'll give that much more.
I won't take a similar smile for granted,
I'll learn to take falling on my face as dancing.
It's time, close the coffin tight.
I'm going to miss you. I'm going to miss you.
