As I lay here thinking on this hospital bed
I'll write these words left unsaid 
So you don't decifer my head

I think the blood loss has affected my brain
But now I feel less insane
I still remember your names

And to be honest I did not see the light
And I didn't put up a fight
This time it won't end up alright

Unlike their words the puncture runs much too deep
I guess my lungs can't compete
I know this mountain's too steep

So burn away my bones and skin
and hope i'll never cross your mind again
just let me fade away into a shade
Of black and white and everything's okay

If I thought to myself that I'm finally set free
No need for self-therapy
How fucked could I actually be?

It seems this smile has been set to decline
Laugh to myself til im blind
Let my breath wane and unwind

And so discouraged as I finally weep
Play my life back on repeat
As I accept my defeat

To the best friends that I actually had
and family that might be sad
I wrote this down cause I'm glad

So take what's mine with every single thing I leave behind
And mask the pain with every memory of yesterday

Shade Of Everything's Okay

Tony Hawk games and blink-182 defined me as a child. I wrote the chorus first, just kind of reminiscing about how great being 8 years old was. The verses just kind of reflect the growing and reflection I've been going through over the past year or so. Let's be honest, after American Wasteland the Tony Hawk series went to shit.  

Wouldn't you like to change the shitty things about me?
Like the concrete that bruised my bones
Like the cold air that stained my lungs
Is it obvious that I'm home?
Or do you still feel all alone?

Take me back to 2003
8 years old, new Blink cd
THUG came out on Christmas Eve
And it would never hurt when I would bleed
It's not my self esteem
I'm fine with me
It's not my self esteem
I'm alright, I breathe

We all the love the attention 
When it always feels like we're alone
In a house, but not a home
Always staring at our phones
And when I said I would be home soon
I meant every single word I said
Even when I'm in over my head
I'm just glad I'm not dead

Take me back to 2003
8 years old, new Blink cd
THUG came out on Christmas Eve
And it would never hurt when I would bleed
It's not my self esteem
I'm fine with me
It's not my self esteem
I'm alright, I breathe

07 Two Thousand Three

I wrote this song in January 2012. I wasn't planning on putting it on the album but it just has so much power to it. I played it to a couple friends and they were like "Dude, that has to go on there." So here it is. :)

I'm so insincere,
I know it too well, my greatest fear
You come back to me so vividly,
Just when I thought it was over,
I'm still shaking, though I'm not in tears 

Why do you know me so well,
I hope you couldn't tell,
I'm falling apart, and now I'm finally breaking down
I let my walls come down hoping you'd figure it out
but you're still gone and I'm still waiting for...

I had the words at the tip of my tongue,
but then I spit them out knowing
they'd never find the scene or time to place themselves,
Oh so perfectly on the canvas that is your mind, my words are just the brush

Why do you know me so well,
I hope you couldn't tell,
I'm falling apart, and now I'm finally breaking down
I let my walls come down hoping you'd figure it out
but you're still gone and I'm still waiting

For the time, you'll come back home 
and change your mind, apologize for all your wrongs  
And tell me what I'm still waiting for

08 Jumbo Shrimp

This is my favourite song on the album. I wrote this about a few things. The theme is basically reflecting on things that pass. It's like sitting in front of the mirror or on your bed and thinking about why there are things you remember so well from when you were younger but you can't even remember what happened last week.  

Ill do anything to avoid confrontation,
I guess I just got used to being invisible

I still remember my grandmothers apartment,
And the clay I used to take my mind off of things 
Where are you now?

I'd give everything to forget that fucking melt down 
and put the past where it belongs and carry on

I still remember our house on 14 frost street 
and the tree they tore down some years ago
Where are you now?

And people ask me why I haven't talked to you since September,
Why I don't want to speak to you again.
Even my friends don't understand, 
sometimes moving forward and being alright isn't selfish
it's just what I need
