This place is tired and worn out like these, hollow eyes, windows to a tortured soul, there's a war waging inside of me, no devil, no god, no not this time, this is where no one wants to go, this is where no one wants to be, this is where no one goes, this is where I need to be
YOU CAN FIND ME
Inside with the monsters calling, scraping at a door sealed off long ago, they just don't seem to let go
It's all a game to them, let's see who breaks first, your body, your heart, or your spirit, it's always been a slippery slope, i'm slipping i'm sliding
I've always been black and blue what's another bruise to you, everything I've ever known is coming up before me
It's an answer, a coping mechanism a way to survive when you don't want to waste time, most of my life's been spent in doubt of myself and the world around me, accepting this won't be easy
It's not fair, stay tough as nails don't let them see you falter and be prepared, for the worst to come forth, take it all with a grain of salt this will not be what kills me these demons, won't be my downfall
I've been losing faith for a while, i think it's time i put it in something, I've been losing faith for a while, I think it's time I put it in something real
It's always been a slippery slope I'm slipping, I'm sliding, I've always been black and blue what's another bruise to you
It's an answer, a coping mechanism a way to survive when you don't want to waste time, most of my life's been spent in doubt of myself and the world around me, accepting this won't be easy
nothing ever is why'd I think different, it's always a fight to the finish, survival of the fit killers and victims, why can't we coexist why can't we be friends
I'm going down where no one wants to go
I' m going down where no one wants to be
I'm going down where no one wants to go
I'm coming back with some new fucking friends
It's an answer, a coping mechanism a way to survive when you don't want to waste time, most of my life's been spent in doubt of myself and the world around me, accepting this won't be easy
No it won't be easy, No its never easy

1,2,3,4
Tell me again why I shouldn't be angry, when everybody I know is fake with me, I've been bent, broke, beat, and mowed down, curb stomped by the words that flow from your mouth, there is no fear in this heart, but still there is pain in my chest, tell me I shouldn't be angry, when I've got every goddamn right to be
Is this all that it's come to, a bitter head on a dark and lonely road, I lost it all myself included, this is so confusing (Have I been)
I've been beating myself up over this, I've already started caving in, I won't fall down no not again, Oh no what has become of me, I am my own worst enemy, this will not be the best of me
You will never see it
Everybody's singing
It's in your head, your're just fucked up
You're Hemingway with a touch of Mailer
I guess that's why, I'm writing this all alone
Drinking, analyzing my life
You preach forgive and forget
Tell me something different
Break the chain begin a new one
Follow blindly no I'm not about that
Life's short that's what they're saying
Try not to take it for granted
The path you take now's a sure definition of who you are 10 years down the line
It's a curse being young and angry, hate it all yourself included
I don't want to feel like this, I don't want to feel lost anymore
(Have I been)
I've been beating myself up over this, I've already started caving in
I won't fall down, no not again, oh no what has become of me, I am my own worst enemy, this will not be the best of me
It's a curse being young and angry
Hate it all yourself included
It's a game a rouse a setback, just to keep you in check
This will not be the best of me
You will never see it
This will not be the best of me
You will never see it

Pine Tree

Look at the world, tell me are you happy, are you liking, everything that you see, is this what you've always wanted, is this what you've always dreamed of
Are things looking up, or are they sliding, straight down to the bottom where i spend most of my days, hearing about what i will never be, it doesn't make much sense to me, so I'm asking what does this mean, and they've never seen what I hide behind this smile behind this crooked forced out smile
You've got to be kidding me how is any of this helping
Stop sitting there, telling me what I should believe in
Let me, take all of this in, Let me make my own decisions
Stop pushing me to believe in what you think I should
What gives you the right, to judge me like a book, I know you never read
Appearance is everything to you and, I know you know what it's like to be young and hopeful but my only hope is to find some solid ground
And like a Pine Tree I'll stay green through any weather like a shorebird in the mountains I'll adapt and find my way, I will find my way
You've got to be kidding me how is any of this helping
Stop sitting there, telling me what I should believe in
Let me, take all of this in, Let me make my own decisions
Stop pushing me to believe in what you think I should
Tell me I'm worthless, I'm nothing, I'm making a mistake
Be my hero, a savior, a dim light in the dark but, you won't lead this sheep to slaughter, you fucking wolves won't break my spirit
The blood is pouring out no longer biting at my tongue, I know the words will flow out fine, just gotta keep my head on right and I know, better days are coming and I know, I will find my own way
You've got to be kidding me how is any of this helping
Stop sitting there, telling me what I should believe in
Let me, take all of this in, Let me make my own decisions
Stop pushing me to believe in what you think I should
To believe in what you think I should

John Wayne

Let it enfold you, consume you, take control and swallow you whole, let it be the last thing you remember in a world that you pissed away
You looked me in the eyes said you're no son of mine, You went and lost your mind said you're always on mine, My dad he asked you long ago to change your ways, you said fuck no I love everything that I am, that I am
Give us all an explanation, a reason for the life you wasted, your dead eyes never gave us nothing, I can't believe that you look just like me
If there's one thing, that we have in common its a last name, and a thirst I can't quench
You spent your whole life watching John Wayne in your basement, smoking cigarettes not worried about a thing, you spent your whole life wasted and out of breath, how could I hate you for what you'll never know
How could I understand if you never let me in, How could we save this if you never let us in, It's every part of me that wants to watch you burn, you're still in my veins you're still my family
You pissed us away
Give us all an explanation a reason for the life you wasted, your dead eyes never gave us nothing, i can't believe that you look just like me
The smoke in your eyes, as you look in mine, tell me you're no son of mine, it's hard for me to believe, they we're ever blue like me
And I know that you're a tortured soul, and I don't hold it against you but from this point moving forward you are just a memory
You looked me in the eyes how dare you
It's hard for me to say I know you
It's every part of me that wants to hate you
But I can't find the balls to
You are just a memory
You are just a memory
