Far Too Long

I know you knew me one way but that ships already sailed
I know that this will be hard to accept that things have changed
and I’ll never be the same again
I know it’s an unfair burden for you to bear
I’m so sick, I try to hide it
Though I know I’m not foolin’ anyone
I’m so sick, and I know it
Now to find the right words to describe it
Desireless, this hopelessness tears a hole inside my chest
It’s been the same way for far too long
And I know that you’re so sick of my sorries
Just know, that I know it’s been far too long
I know nothing lasts forever and I don’t want you to leave
I know that it’s up to me to pull myself back up
I won’t be perfect life could get rough
But for you I will keep fighting this with everything I have
I’m giving all I can give
I’m giving everything
It’s been far too long
And this can’t go on

Undertow

We left the shore, our spirits high
Before the skies turned gray and dimmed the fire in our eyes
We were so naive, we were caught by surprise
We all begged to leave, not be lost at sea for life
We try and navigate but our course is set
So we drink at night and toast to our regrets
To every passing year, every wasted month
We all turn to ash to wash away the mud
And it’s so hard to stay afloat
Why bother trying?
Give in to the undertow
Look to the horizon
‘Cause we are so far from home
If you wanna see dry land
Grab on and row
We couldn’t see the truth through those younger eyes
But we grew up fast each time a brother was left behind
Lost overboard, before their time
Another toast to those who were swallowed by the tides
The seas keep rising
Our ships are capsizing
We’re taking on water
The weight will pull us under

Come Home

Growing up overdosing good times every weekend to hide the pain
Found a life for misfits like us but at a pace we could never sustain
So many have moved on, too many have found the grave
I might not be living the same but the fact still remains
We still remain
All I’m trying to say is no matter how much has changed
I’m still on the way when you’re callin’
Loyalty is all or nothin’
The distance and our families keep growing
The burdens of life are ongoing
All we’ve been through it means something
Loyalty is all or nothin’
When you spend your life livin’ this fast you’re bound to crash and burn
And when we keep forgetting the past the page will never turn
It’s so easy to chase the highs and dwell on all the lows
We’re all just runaways searching for a home
It’s time to come home
All we’ve been through it means something
Loyalty is all or nothin’

There’s a war going on out there
In our neighborhoods, it’s everywhere
The next victim could be your son, or my daughter, anyone
But until it creeps into your home
You shut your eyes and turn up your nose
You call it a tragedy, you blame society
But you won’t accept it, called disease
If you’ve never tasted desperation
How dare you judge something you can’t understand
You’ve never heard the voices inside your head screaming
“Throw it all away just for one more day without the pain”
You won’t believe the facts or me
Well I’m not here to change your mind
I’m just so fucking sick of you hypocrites and your politics and divide
Can’t you see the real enemy that’s ruined our streets isn’t those in need
It’s the people behind the scenes pushing poison to fuel their greed
They demonize the addict to profit off addiction
We stay fighting, the guilty stay hidden.

Thin Ice
03:33

I feel slow, I feel tired like I got rocks for feet
I feel pressure, I feel stress from the brick where my heart used to beat
When all the while I’m forced to keep a smile on my face
‘Cause god forbid I ever admit that sometimes I don’t have what it takes anymore
To keep on going
Living my life on thin ice never knowing
When the ground beneath my feet will give away
Plunging me down into the depths of misery
They say to give up my booze and the drugs that I used to abuse
And they remind me this is gonna be some lifelong fight
Well don’t you dare tell me it’ll be easy
I’ve already given up a lot of who I used to be
So just tell me what I need to hear

Take Me Away

Have you ever felt like this?
Like the walls were closing in
I’m locked up in my mind
It’s killing me not killing time
And then you play along pretending everything is fine
Keeping up appearances and losing track of all my lies
Like I am doin’ great and everything’s OK
But it’s not, I just don’t know how to say
I live in a steady state of pain, contempt or apathy
And when I’m alone I’m begging please
Take me away from this fucked up place
Far away somewhere I can escape
I’ve been gone for way too long
I’ve been payin’ for other’s wrongs
Put me back where I belong right back in my loved ones’ arms
I don’t know if I can take another day
Someone just please take me away
From this place so far from home
From these nights spent all alone
In the darkness there’s truth with myself but never you
I couldn’t burden you with everything I hide inside
I don’t care how you ask, I’ll always say that “everything is fine”
and I am “doin’ great” and everything’s “OK,” but it’s not I just don’t know how to say
I live in a steady state of pain, contempt or apathy
And silent screams beggin’ please take me away
