Delay

Way to Go

I swore I'd never do all the things that I've done.
And I swore I'd never be, the monster that I have become.

I told my self I'm fine, get it out while your young.
But Im older now and I cant stop

When she spoke her words were warm
with eyes as blue as the sea.
But those colors that we saw
we will no longer see.

And it's hard to find the words I want to say,
when the colors that we saw are turning to grey.

The colors that we saw are never coming back.

The War Inside Me

Colors

Cant Explain

When you were a child in these arms you were heald and nothing could take you away.
No matter  where you’ve gone and no matter what you’ve done
My heart still holds you today.
Remember this the truth:
” You never need go lookin’ round for me.
I’m always here. Life will never be as hopless as it seems.
Just give it an honest go.”
 
We'll go down to the railroad tracks,
smash bottles on the over pass,
and hear the echos as they holler back at me.
A peaceful sky behind a peace less mind, 
It hides my thoughts as I imagine I am fearless.
But I am not.

My brother and I we don't see eye-to-eye,
and I am the one to blame.
The endings of our names, the lessons, and the ways that we were raised,
They were the same.
I’m the only one, the black sheep of a son,
who seems to be wired wrong.
Some day he’ll see the person I can be:
The brother that he deserves.

We'll go down to the railroad tracks,
smash bottles on the over pass,
and hear the echos as they holler back at me.
A peaceful sky behind a peace less mind, 
It hides my thoughts as I imagine I am fearless.
But I am not.

The fires of shame burn and I am blinded by smoke
and I have never seen
the better side of living.
The love I wasn't giving, gotta give it back to those who gave it to me.

Peaceless Mind

Everything was simpler back then.
When the thoughts you had were masked, 
and you were waiting behind a door
for a knock that never came. 
It was simpler then.

Except for my pile of hate
covered in the gasoline of rage,
sparked with the flame of isolation 
and a drug that constantly weighed me down.
If I could go back, 
there are so many things 
that I wouldn't even change, 
If I could take you from that.

Everything was simpler back then.
With a brothers bearing arms,
we were walking through the woods.
An enemy was lurking in the dark.

We felt them closing in,
prepared for what was next
but then they slowly started to float away.
Somebody stood and said,

"Fire Away! Aiming at the targets on their backs 
when they walk away! 
At least that way,
they wont see the faces we make
as they drift to another place!"
If I could go back, 
there are so many things 
that I wouldn't even change, 
If I could take you from that.

 
The pile of hate covered in the gasoline remains
sparked with a flame of isolation
and a brain that's constantly spacing out.

If I could go back, 
there are so many things 
that I wouldn't even change,
If I could go back, 
there are so many things 
that I wouldn't even change, 
If I could take you from that.

Take You From That

I am not the smartest man you'll meet
cause' back in school I didn't listen when they'd teach
I was there distracted at my desk
by the music notes dancing in my head.

Now a mass of knowledge I don't have
but what i know is i can love you like no body else can
I can't buy you much I'm not a wealthy man
but love is free and i can love you like nobody else can

I was searching for my path and what I should do.
Everything I longed for I found in you.
The timing wasn't right but we found a way
to share ourselves and cast our fears away.

Now a mass of knowledge I don't have
but what i know is i can love you like no body else can
I cant buy you much I'm not a wealthy man
but love is free and i can love you like nobody else can

You took a chance on me and I wont forget
the words you wrote in the letters that you sent.
And the beautiful open mind that I will miss.
And they way you smiled with eyes closed every time that we kissed.

Now a mass of knowledge I don't have
but what i know is i can love you like no body else can
I cant buy you much I'm not a wealthy man
but love is free and i can love you like nobody else can

This is the end, cause' now you're gone.
And the only time I speak to is in these songs.
I dont know where yopu are
or who your with.
But I know I think of you every single chances that I get.

The End

Eddie

I sent a message but it never made it through.
So I started running towards the places you were walking to.
I never thought that I would make the stop to wave you off that day.

I tried to watch it but the sun it swallowed you.
So I starting suffering but then I saw the moon.
I built a ladder climbed it all the way to outer space.

And all that time I thought
That I could actually make you want to stay.
When I arrived, I realized 
that you were gone and I was late.
Now I always stay awake.

I watched you stumbling trying to walk on through the door.
On to the couch, you'll need some rest
if you are going to cure
the sickness in your mind
that writes the message every time.

I used to hear you talk of waves you saw as tall as trees,
I thought of them faulty stories I would not believe
When I saw it coming I just watched and let it swallow me
It crushed my body,
broke me down,
and washed me out to sea.
