(You failed yourself) I spit in every mouth that offered help. (We all lost out) I've broken both my hands just beating myself. (Everyday) Another mountain blocks the son from my eyes. (I can't see) A reason to keep up this joke of a life. Fuck you, look me in the fucking eyes. I refuse to be beaten by myself. So alone I don't believe my own lies. I'd smash you, the reflection's gone, but I can only see hate clearer than it's ever been before. I've lost every battle to end the war. Broken knuckles and no one's proud. Shattered glass. Shattered glass and no one's proud.


Broken Knuckles and No One's Proud

Thank you for validating my meaningless existence, because now I don't feel so fucking bad. You gave me everything I ever wanted, just to take it all.. to take it all back. You're just a fucking bitch. Take from me my blood, drink from the cup, a crimson taste of failure, of all the lies you've told. You swore, you swore, you swore you would always be here. But look around, I am, oh God, I am.. I am.. I am alone. I am your wayward soul. If it's all about control, just let me burn, I'll never fucking learn. I'll never fucking learn. Behold the new day, the sun shines on a world of shit. Forsaken, everything and everyone in it. I bet he smiled when he pissed on all the hopes and dreams I never had.. I never fucking had. Take from me my blood, drink from the cup, a crimson taste of failure, of all the lies you've told. You swore, you swore, you swore you would always be here. But look around, I am alone. We will never learn to love a God who's presence is defined by his absence. We will never learn. How fucking stupid do you think we are? We will never learn.


Wolf in Shepherd's Clothing

Forget about me

Just do your best

to forget about

me.

 

OPEN YOUR EYES

I see you,

but you can't see,

my hands around your throat from the back seat.

YOUR HEART BEATS

to the rhythm of the engine sputtering

it's running on empty.

 

And you've driven to far

to make it home now

isn't it  so bizarre

that the person who made you can so easily break you

and no one can fucking save you.

 

You're broken

and you're hoping

 

but no one

can save you.

"I'm here 'cause I need you back.."

HA HA You fucking wish.

You fell for

all my bullshit

"Oh please just one more chance.."

HA HA You stupid bitch.

 

HA HA

 

You can't break the cycle that binds you,

so take my hands I'm right here behind you

NOW.

 

Take my hands,

SQUEEZE

with me.

 

Take my hands

and bleed

with me.

 

Forget about me

Just do your best,

to forget about

me.

 

And every time I laughed

I laughed at you

You gave me your heart

Yeah, you fucking fool.

 

Everything I ever said,

it meant nothing

Took everything you had to give

and gave nothing.

 

You took a chance on me

You took a chance on you

and you

FAILED YOURSELF
