Riverbed 02:58
All gold fades to black some day time taught me well that everything i love will one day crumble and turn to dust lines all collapse, hope starts to rot death more frequently enters my thoughts on the future have shifted, as I've grown older I've learned to do without, I've learned to turn my suffering to strength to proudly watch as that bridge burns from beneath on the river bank just like the fire in my heart that's always kept me going it's the separation that's always kept me from the dark time taught me well that the fight won't stop for the tired and weak, desperate and lost you've never been low til you've fallen through the ice sunk through the riverbed and questioned life all gold fades to black someday it's up to you never to fade there will be no time to think and if you're weak you'll fucking sink so sink

Brookline 02:16
Breathing out, it's all so clear now these are the moments I've always starved for back to the ground, I watched as the sky tore open and I feel whole again even if for only a moment where i forgot that I'm so broken hollow me out, it's getting louder now that same broken sound that's always kept me down it's coming back around it always comes back around as time stands still, we're swinging from fixtures made of dreams of things I'll never be, that you've always been I'm not as numb when you're here with me breathing deep, I'll let this all sink in one heart, two shells you'll never hear me say see you in hell see you in hell

his heart sank as the sun came up he knew today was the day shaky hands gripped a coffee cup external signs of eternal pain rose from his seat and drew the shades to black out his slow decay for six months he'd felt this way desert leaves that begged for rain it never came misunderstood as a young man, written off as a classic case they thought his promise was a hollow threat type two til his final breath and there's plenty more just like him there's a sickness in the world today it's not something you can medicate from broken hearts to broken homes to all the kids who died alone in their rooms you'll catch us swinging from the ceiling cause they numbed us out but hear me, those who fell can rise again we'd do anything to dream again hear me, those who fell can rise again it's all thanks to you that we're all throwaway kids and there's plenty more just like us there's a sickness in the world today it's not something you'd understand from broken hearts to broken homes to all the kids who died by their own hand you paint such a pretty picture these afflictions are inscription when death starts calling out your name just laugh in its fucking face the only thing that kept me from an early grave was knowing I'm not alone you're not alone we're not alone, we're all throwaway kids

Cursed Life 02:53
oh my how guilt sets in its hooks leaves you bent and broken reminds you of all that you took and the lives you split wide open all in the name of saving face but racing thoughts will never fade you're living the cursed life among snakes thieves and spies on borrowed time til the day you die your forked tongue spits venom lies and can't you see? you're barely scraping by peel back your flesh, expose your lack of heart and lie still til you bleed dry the floorboards part and you're pulled under sitting in the dark you're left to wonder what the fuck brought you here and how you'll never get out I'll shed some light you brought this on yourself so say you're damned the only truth to leave your mouth you cry for help but nothings coming out all that you stood for, all of that means nothing anymore so just burn out, it's all you're worth you're cursed

I've fucking counted everyday since I've seen your smiling face I've got a lot of words that you'll never hear and that's a lot to stomach I feel just like you did back in 1972 it took you being gone for me to feel the pain that you went through just promise me this ain't some legacy of men who hardly broke thirty the suns going down, pain sets in, my heart slows it's these moments where I need you most I can still feel your ghost just like you never left I walk these streets as half the man i used to be I never sleep, and never will, you're always on my mind time spent being so low has taught me patience but I'd kill to hear your voice, or see your face just one last time I remember being young back when i had clean lungs the hot summer days down at the reservoir I remember the sun, the way it hit your smile lines and those blue eyes, I've got the same ones and I aspire to be the man you were at your peak you've got a home in my heart and I'll push forward though weak in the knees I've been down this road, it's one you may know but I walked it alone, as I watched you erode it's an irish goodbye to all the good times all that's tall falls so hard all momentum eventually slows I'll never take another thing for granted but hindsight's twenty fucking twenty i hope you know i know you always loved me if you can hear me
