Pacific 2

All the blood on the ring are reminders 
Of the nights when we went toe to toe here
And we went down hard but that fights was our
All the blood on the ring 
Just reminds us 

Did you bring me here
To live out a scene 
Something you saw
on a movie screen 
Did you plan on burning it all down 
When you let it slip
What I should've known 
All along 

I walked away from the flames
Into bitter days 
The smoke was too thick to see
The scars on you and me

If you're the ones still dripping blood
Dear count your blessings
Mine dried up so long ago 
It feels my heart has turned to stone

Toe To Toe - 7 6 16, 1.49 PM


In the silence of the night
There's a fire that seems distant 
It burns closer to home than I care to show

Embers fall
And the smoke will rise
Rise right out of me until 
I am Dry 
only ashes inside
There's poison in the wine 
Going straight to my mind
Brings me back to that time 
When I let go 

Don't feel bad dad
You didn't do so bad
Your sons a good man

And every word that you said 
As I sat next to your death bed
Hit so hard 

Its harder to miss my friend 
On a night like this 
When the world is quiet
And the fires rage 

Embers fall 
And the smoke will rise
Rise right out of me until I am 
Dry only ashes inside
There's poison in the wine 
Going straight to my mind
Brings me back to that time 
When I let go

Poison In The Wine

Disease 
A sickness inside me
Compulsively 
Feeding misery

This is a lose lose 
Never ending 
Booze cruise 
And all my friends 
Jumped overboard 
Swam to shore 
More for me 
More for me 

At ease 
Sedated heavily 
Breathing seems 
To be far out of reach 

I'll see you when I come Down 
If I wake up
I might have overdone it 
this time 

Dreaming of wheels on asphalt 
Life without substance 
A day un sedated
A day back here with you

Asphalt

ill write out the blows
you take the numbers
have I become so callus to them all
love and drugs
I wrote both them off
the last 3 years just took so much 
im empty

to say that I dont miss you in the mornings 
lying next to me would be a lie
to say i like those thoughts would be the next
have I become so bitter 
god i hope not
someones gonna love me someday 

the scars outnumber veins
across my arms now
reminders of another failed romance 
the old familiar sting I truly crave still
to have you in my life 
is no debate
im free now

father dear i know youre looking on me
remembering the last moments we shared 
i know i only did as i would told to
sedating you so youd go peacefully 
it haunts me
im healing 
im johnny


Im Johnny

Up and out again 
Repeat repeat repeat 
Needle or record 
Either way this soul is getting tired

Wanna hop on plane 
Or the interstate 
And get away 

Dragging days
Filled with caffeine just to move my feet 
Repeat repeat repeat 

Sunrise hits my eyes 
Repeat repeat repeat 
Didn't shut the blinds last night 
Either way I'm up too soon to think
