Bullets 02:33
You said you had the best for me You held me down while I scream That’s when they took their shots and ran You only protect the healthy man If I had a gun I’d shoot them all But it is your own fault You showed me where the bullets lie Now I’ll grab my gun and let my bullets fly You showed me where the bullets lie
2.
You read and say belief But actions tell a different story It’s damage to yourself And damage is done to me Your heart and mind are not parallel I’m not sure of what I believe But I’m not lying to myself And doing more damage To this frail heart Your heart and mind are not parallel
3.
My dad said farewell to a friend We’ll miss you dearly He came home late that night With tears in his eyes Dad I need you know My heart is here for you Your family is here for you We are here for you She recounted all the times they had spent His had her grasp painfully torn And as his hand slipped She held tight to the hands of a savior You outlived the one you love So your husband passed away On the hospital bed His strength was fading for a while Fold yours hands and your pray For something for anything You outlived the one you love

Made my lovely cry last night Though she said it was her to blame The words she said I twist and bend Until they come out my way And as she lost control Selfishly I take charge To warp her mind some more And as she lost control I could not shut my mouth I could not shut myself up I am so sick of the power that I hold With the beat of my tongue For though well aware The words stream fast The only thing I damn is myself So tears fall faster But not on my account I hate myself, I’ve established that But I hate more the way she leaves The pain in her eyes Has steadily increased And I’m the one to blame If it would cause end To the problems besieged I’d cut out my tongue myself

Take Me Home 01:37
Take me home Take me home I’ve bleed too much I cannot give more Take Me Home Take me home Take me home I cannot shut my stupid mouth Take me home Take me home Cause I’ve thrown my words In the wind for Greedy hands Take me home Take me home I cannot shut my stupid mouth Take me home
6.
Water wells around the eyes I’ve cried myself to sleep Pray that I won’t have these same bad dreams When I awake will this all just be the same Will my demons follow me Darkness has a hold on me I’ve given it a voice to speak Thought that I was better Than all my short comings But I am somewhere in between Look around in other eyes To spot my own insecurity See it all the time Thought that it would lessons deaths grip on me It still calls me by name

Little Boy 03:30
I am just a little boy You are just a little girl Innocence prevail I know I love that you know, you know You know I love you I love you Slept for two hours last night Cause I couldn’t let you go After lunch we moved to the couch Where we slept for far too long The white noise on the tv Pulled us to our sleep We tucked ourselves in with blankets And heated the couches beneath For a birthday surprise I filled your mailbox with candy overflow I see a childlike smile in your eyes When you laugh at stupid things with me We laugh when people fall down And check if they’re hurt afterwards We sneak candy into the movies In your oversized purse The world is getting far too serious And I am seriously having fun with you I never want to grow up So I will stay young in your arms

A father got drunk and he hit his child She ran off and slept on a park bench that night We drove around for hours but never could find She showed up to school with a black eye I still drive by that park at night The urge stop’s always there As if you would still be on that bench And I’d be the hero that night Still the dark steals me So I call out your name Cause if I bring you back Will the dark go away Will the dark go away Found out I went past the park on that night Should I have called out your name Or would the dark stole my calls like it stole your cries Cause the dark’s still out for me I hear my name called in the darkness of night What does it expect of me My fear shines the brightest when no ones around To guard me

Morning black, the sun is gone Who knows for how long Underwater breaths somewhere in between Darkness and light Ever looming is the pain Decided if to let go Sadly pain is a friend We’ve known for too long The grave’s getting deeper And I’m one step in The grave’s getting deeper It’s closer than it’s ever been We say life’s getting shorter But we’ve all grabbed the shovel and Dug the grave for ourself So make up excuses to the level of the glass Cause we all know how soon this will end
10.
As I walk past houses, street lamps They guide my feet Strangely darkness and foggy breath They comfort me Black lit sky comforts as there was No traffic by These lonely feet guiding step by step Will they take me Take me home Beautiful rain fall on my head It kisses me Took another breath of freedom That clings to me Strange noises comes from no where My fear kicks in To this perfect moment I bid farewell Take me home Content whispers to me I will win It battles inwards never resolved Take me home
