This one’s for all my “friends"
Or whatever we’re calling it
Who ignore the better days
And look the other way
This one’s for “community"
There was never much between you and me
Large groups with shallow depths
I guess it’s easy to forget
Was this all ignorance?
To assume that this was real
A room of people who really care
Who would notice when you’re not there
But I’ve been gone for months
This one is for “settling"
But I won’t give up the best of me
Just to fall in line with rest
Behind the picture it’s a mess
This one’s for “naivety”
I will walk until my feet both bleed
And my dreams are reality
Won’t let this place get the best of me
Was this all ignorance?
To assume that this was real
A room full of people who truly care
Who would notice when you’re not there
Since I’ve gone away
Never once did any of you care about me

In Memory Of...

Waking up I can see a new sun rising
No more hiding from the light
My stomach turns I don’t know where I am
These four walls don’t seem familiar to me
The headaches come and go
A product of my action
I have lost all traction of my life
I’ve had enough
I’m headed in a new direction
I’m sick of my reflection and my mind
Now it’s clear to me
The man I know I need to be
All we hope for are better days to
Come and take the pain away
Broken hearts and empty beds
Awful thoughts within my head
There you were
Sitting in the old chair
Telling me you want me to be alive
I wipe my eyes, you never disappeared
I’ve just been so busy wasting time
Now it’s clear to me
The man I know I need to be
All we hope for are better days to
Come and take the pain away
Broken hearts and empty beds
Awful thoughts within my head

Faux Khons

So many of my memories involve a monster
A shadow of a friend, a cowardly imposter
Everything I ever knew of you was a lie
You played me, like everyone else in your life
Not a word you speak is the truth
You're hiding out in plain sight
I would stay, but I gotta move
It's too late to make things right
Take your ego and leave
You're no good for me
Can't afford you sympathy
After all that you've done
I still can't believe
You're lacking penitence
So save your apologies
I let you betray my trust
I was a fool to think that you were something else
Than a liar, than a fake
You’re the one who reminded me how
Take your ego and leave
You're no good for me
Can't afford you sympathy
After all that you've done
I still can't believe
You're lacking penitence
So save your apologies
You’re a chameleon
You are a fake and fickle friend
You were my brother once
But I swear never again
When you reach the end
Without love in your veins
Reflect on all your mistakes
This is the bed you’ve made

Home Again

Can I be happy now?
Why can't this feeling end?
All of the doubts in my old house
No longer get in
It’s been awhile now
Since I can truly say
Every morning I face myself
And believe it’ll be okay
Oh all the while, all these things, all these things
Oh all the while, I can't sleep, I can't sleep
Please just let me go
I wanted you to know
I did my best to be okay
When it's all said and done
With nowhere left to run
I will be home again some day
I will be home
Gratitude come my way,
I swear I won’t let go
Counting my blessings, and smiling
But it feels like it’s all a show
Grant me some clarity
Promise me today I won’t die
These are the thoughts that give me the creeps
Even though I know I will be fine
Oh all the while, all these things, all these things
Oh all the while, I can't sleep, I can't sleep
Please just let me go
I wanted you to know
I did my best to be okay
When it's all said and done
With nowhere left to run
I will be home again some day
I will be home
And I cannot keep going
Like I'm not scared to death
I'll scream until I'm blue
And I am deprived of breath
I don't have a reason to keep fooling myself
I'm addicted to my despair
And it’s all in my head

Don’t tell me I’m wrong
Like you weren’t there
Through all of the fights, the trials, the fear
I knew I was right
Wouldn’t last through the night
What a marvelous sight
The downfall of us
Think back on the days
When you’d say “always”
We were stuck in a maze
with no end in sight
Don’t say that this isn’t real
What the hell are we doing here?
Say you wanted to stay, but you never would try
Now you’re running away, hate to leave you behind
Say you wanted to stay, but you never would try
Now you're running away
Don’t say that this isn’t real
What the hell are we doing here?
Are we doing here
