this needle
this cotton
everything you've worked for
is forgotten
you're digging a grave
with that syringe
your life has become
a constant binge
just one more fix
to stop this itch
just one more line
to pass the time
just one more hit
before i quit
just one more
just one more
it's a vicious cycle and one more
will never be enough
(you will never understand
i have a monkey on my back)
that's no excuse for the way you act
happiness can't be found in bags
(but it will stop my restless legs
i can't go a minute
without thinking of using)
that's the life you have chose
you put yourself in isolation
(i'm sick of feeling sick)

Forever Falling

If i fall one more time
i swear i will lose it
this moment is mine
this is the life i have chosen
but, down this road and off this cliff i've been led
dealing with death, my life's become dead
my candle is also lit
i swear i might quit
forever falling in this abyss
if you're leaving i'm leaving
if you're gone, as am i
and i guess this is how it feels when it finally ends
and i guess this is what you meant when you said you weren't coming home
i will not see you again
this is goodbye my friend
you were taken too soon
and if i could have repeat what we had, i would put it on loop
i would put it on fucking loop

Signs
03:29
|

i am man
this is where i stand
i have conquered land
i have seen it all
i enslaved them all
i've seen the kingdom fall
as the towers fell
only time will tell
take it for what it's worth
or be shut down
this kingdom we have created
is the only way now
all of these signs
they control your mind
they tell you what to think
and what brands to pick
i'm your emperor
i look over you
i'm your emperor
been where the eagle flew
i am the all wise
i am the all knowing

Reflection
03:00
|
|||
the mirror has spoken
it shows what i've become
a million broken pieces
formed into one
i've taken this time to reflect
on what i have done
on what is to come
this is my moment of clarity
this is my moment of truth
my moment to show the masses
i've adapted to rules
it's time i step back and let loose
all the minuscule shit that bothers me
to the real issues that weigh down on me
this bathroom is haunted
the walls are so crowded
my demons keep me company
yet i continue to feel empty
once i stared so hard
i saw your face in the blackness
but then it turned out
just to be your reflection
history repeats
and so do our actions
if i study my past
and divide them by factors
figure out what's happening
could i really hold it inside?
i found the answers inside my dreams
but forget them
the next morning
so once again
i stand in this mirror
contemplating change
but when i awake the next morning
i know it will all be the same

Flowers
04:43
|

well, god damn
stuck in a rut
nowhere to go
nowhere to rest my head
i'm out of step,
out of line
completely out of place
i say twenty years is long enough
fuck, maybe even 20 minutes is long enough
to see how fucked the world can be
i say 20 years is long enough
maybe it doesn't take anytime at all and we already knew from the start that everything we do and everything we live is completely and absolutely fucked
if it makes you feel better
that i'm gone
then cut the shit
i say twenty years is long enough
cut me out
cut me short
one great sleep
tomorrow sleeps while today weeps
my days are filled with darkness
and nights with grief
this hospital bed has been my home for weeks, months, maybe years
this long sleep has brought my mother to tears
i heard a faint mutter across the room
i turned to see, but my body stayed still
as i look into the eyes of my maker
who was side by side
with the woman who had given me birth
they spoke no words to each other
just prayers uttered simultaneously
i felt the warm of a hand
pressed over my vision
i could hear cries harmonized with a laughter
of a past time
but every once in a while i'm sure you will think of me
and i won't mind if you bring me flowers
but if you could just let me be
then that'd be just fine
these eyes stay closed
this mouth stays sealed
