Lately I see his name, how it drips down the walls My thoughts perplex, you wonder why he scoffs and balls The real bears down so cruel, with force I cannot fight Which of my heads will rear its head and show itself tonight? I don’t know but I’m starting to lose all hope Voices change, as do the winds, it’s cold in the north so I am headed south From within on a whim it’s a sin to just let it all go And a promise is nothing but feeble intentions of the soul I made the most of my mistakes My word-stained tongue is my disgrace They bled the hope from out my nose, it drips on my hands - I thought they were my friends Just speak, don’t think, let go, don’t blink because you’ll miss your chance - I don’t want to live like this Oh wait, what’s this? Stop there, you blinked, well, so did I. Still I’m scared to think what you and I oh brother we could do to spite And I’m aware that it’s something you cannot bear And I see him still walk down my road Looks like life has made him pay his tolls Can you tell him for me I still care? I still care.

Teeming with uncertainty in the face of death You don’t know where you’re going and you don’t know meant I know something but you don’t wanna hear You think it’s not important but I’ll make myself clear That if you try and chase it to your bloody end And burdens are a load that’s just too heavy to suspend I guess I’ll have to wonder just what it is What it is about you that makes me jerk and cringe This happened to you And you don’t want to know I’ll speak it real slow Then you finally noticed it wasn’t how you thought That piece of me you kept alone you thought would suit the clot I guess I should’ve figured it was nothing but an excuse To drag me down, belittle me, that’s nothing but abuse Cold turkey, try again Hold me, time’s feeling thin As are my veins, nothing’s further from the truth Than everything you’ve done, you can’t believe it was you OW

Like this I would’ve had no other way to go Reminisce About all those times I swore to you That I would never ever have to leave your way Yet still I pose a question Is this a prophecy that we cannot evade? Two hearts so full of promise You never would’ve guessed the things you said today would slap you in the face My words they were ever so true Still it won’t be long till I'm cracking at the dawn of my own death, we're not here to stay Well I take it this ain’t coming back today So I kick my feet and eat the dirt as I let your body whisk my morals away It won’t be for too long, that’s what you say But there's things we can’t control, these habits are so toxic I’m in disarray Bake it to a brutal crisp Flaking off reality Oh well, there go all of my motherfucking boundaries It’s so hot, you know it’s so hot But I can’t even take it anymore It’s so wrong, you know it’s so hot Still, I cannot shake it What’s this A little moment that I’ve held onto For too long By the time I’ve read what’s on your palm I know by then that it’ll definitely be too late But now that I’m older, stronger or weaker I’ll tell you now just get the fuck away And so I go back to the streets With a paper in my hand, gotta find someone who’s gonna give me what I need Cause I’ve got it to shine I know now things I should’ve known back when I was your age I was a fool Those breathless nights, they took me away So much so that I found just a little too late It took some time but I’m back up on my feet I’m kicking ass right behind the people that used to doubt me Alright, I said sorry What more could you have asked of me It’s not like I hate you But then again what you said to me Was so wrong, it wasn’t okay So I cannot forgive you, not today It’s so hot, you know it’s so hot And I can’t even shake it No
