1. MAY 24

In a small town,
Where the old screen door on the corner store,
Always smelt like grease.
We were fucking around and wasting days,
In the middle of the street.
There lied my innocence,
It was take from me,
The day the needle met your arm.

You swore to me,
I would never see you die,
Saving my meals,
To make sure that you eat at night.

I'll wait for you to call and say,
Things were just as fucked as I remember,
But it wasn't up to us to change.
If someone could have listened,
Maybe we'd have crossed their minds,
And I could un-see everything and feel responsible for,
My own life.

No you checked out,
Told yourself it's not your fault.
Running from the ghost of the days,
That you left us with.

And Lately,

I guess that's fine,
no one we knew took their lives,
Revenge is fucking tasteless.
But an eye will always cost an eye.

I'm taking responsibility,
For everything I did,
'Cause no one made me do that shit.
The hard part is coming to terms,
With everything I've seen,
And that ain't easy.

And I guess that's fine,
Nobody took their lives,
Revenge is tasteless,
But an eye will always cost an eye.

I still feel so fucking lost,
When I hear Blink on the radio.
So fucking lost,
So lost.
I still feel so fucking lost,
When I hear blink on the radio.
So fucking lost, So lost.

The hard part is coming to terms,
With everything I've seen,
And that ain't easy.


2. CUTTING TEETH

I watch your tail lights fade,
Over this stale town,
Your arm still waving from your window,
I can barley make out.
I still can't believe,
My life came down to this,
But it's an eye for an eye,
And I've got,
Nothing left to give.

I woke up in the street,
To rain on my face,
And the taste of cigarettes,
A bottle in hand,
And disappointed friends.
I can make it out if I could clear my fucking head,
But I've failed so many times,
Cut so many teeth.

I watch your tail lights fade,
Over this stale town,
Your arm still waving from your window,
I can barley make out
I can't believe,
My life came down to this,
But it's an eye for an eye,
And I've got,
Nothing left to give.

And you're waiting for your friends to call,
But they don't think about you any more.
Too many times you've said and never done,
And now it seems impossible to spark interest,
In anyone.

I watch your tail lights fade,
Over this stale town,
Your arm still waving from your window,
I can barley make out.
I still can't believe,
My life came down to this,
But it's an eye for an eye,
And I've got,
Nothing left to give.

I wish that I'd had seen,
With clipped wings,
I still meant something,
I still meant anything.
I see you in my sleep,
It haunts me.
I don't owe you anything,
I don't owe you anything.

I wish that I'd had seen,
With clipped wings,
I still meant something,
I still meant anything.
I see you in my sleep,
It haunts me.
I don't owe you anything,
I don't owe you anything.

I watched a moth fight the rain,
For a second of light.
It makes me think,
What am I doing,
With my life.


3. BANDAID

Just a broken kid,
With daddy issues,
Who blames his broken home.
I never needed you,
I made it this far,
I was happy on my own.
I never asked for your help,
Thought I could handle this myself,
But you'd poisoned me to think,
That I was nothing without you.

You lied to me,
I took the blame.

Drinking soon became a part of me,
Just a kid who thought he threw his life away.
You moved out,
'Cause I had problems that you couldn't change,
And now you say I'm not the fucking same I used to be.
I don't need fixing.

When I don't fit,
In to the shape you molded,
You'll tell your friends,
My case is hopeless.
When I don't fit,
In to the shape you molded,
You'll tell your friends,
My case is hopeless.
When I don't fit,
In to the shape you molded,
You'll tell your friends,
My case is hopeless.

I never asked for your help.


4. HOURGLASS

I've always lead my,
Feet with my chest,
I think with my heart,
It gives me purpose.
This old steel city,
Fuels my furnace,
It drives my pen,
And brings truth to surface.

I've never seen so fucking clearly,
A better man makes my life easy,
I've learnt my lesson,
Apply my passion,
And give my heart,
To those that matter.

I've finally made room to grow.

But I still walk in these shoes that I can't fill,
I've come a long way since that day,
Since you told me to be still,
Acknowledge my surroundings.
I never asked to be born in to this,
And have no say in how it all ends,
But what I know of the time I'm given,
I owe to you and al your guidance.

I've finally made room to grow

Have Faith in me,
I was just a boy.
Tell me I've grown in to the man,
You inspired me to be.
We spent our last minutes,
Deep in conversation.
I swore I'd find myself,
I'm searching.

All those late night,
Medical shows,
The irony,
If I'd have listened,
I would have known.

Have Faith in me,
I was just a boy.
Tell me I've grown in to the man,
You inspired me to be.
We spent our last minutes,
Deep in conversation.
I swore I'd find myself,
I'm searching.

I'll find myself,
I'm searching.

Have Faith in me,
I was just a boy.
Tell me I've grown in to the man,
You inspired me to be.
Have Faith in me,
I was just a boy.
Tell me I've grown in to the man,
You inspired me.

Have faith in me.


5. FORTUNATE

My life,
These days,
Is busy friends,
And late trains.
A mattress on the floor,
In a city that's good to me.

All this distraction from my old life,
It haunts my decisions and plagues my mind.
'Cause after all,
I'm just this kid,
Who's aspirations,
Were never more than dreams.
But they still remain.

I'm not going anywhere.
Anywhere.
I've fought so hard just to stand here.
In overwhelming silence,
Silence,
I found where I belong,
I needed this.

As the smoke leaves my lungs,
From my last cigarette,
I'll fight my last fight,
In a desperate attempt,
To prove that I'm worth it,
Worth your attention,
Portrayed my rendition,
Of a broken boy.

I'm so tired of hiding,
Behind my pen,
It only goes to paper,
What come off my chest.
But I can't forget.
I've struggled to find a place that I could stay,
Because settling has never been an option for me,
I'd trade it in to never feel afraid,
But everything goes away.

I'm not going anywhere.
Anywhere.
I've fought so hard just to stand here.
In overwhelming silence,
Silence,
I found where I belong,
I needed this.

According to me,
I'm my own worst enemy,
I can't keep a simple promise,
Or even swear on anything.
The bottle attached to my hand,
Proves addiction makes,
For a lesser man.
And I can't muster up,
The motivation,
To beak away,
From this fucking pattern.

I'm not going anywhere.
Anywhere.
I've fought so hard just to stand here.
In overwhelming silence,
Silence,
I found where I belong,
I needed this.
