If you Really Knew Me
By Kevin Robey
Febraury 16, 2013

If you really knew me, you’d see through these lies
The smiles and laughs, can’t conceal my eyes
You won’t ask questions, you won’t suspect
You won’t see it coming, my final misstep

If you read this now, you know it’s...

DROWNING
By Kevin Robey
June 21, 2013

I’ve got this bad disease
That haunts my daily dreams
No dispose of the rage inside
Flash the smile of my disguise

Pretend you’ve figured it out
Tell them you don’t have a doubt
Or show them your demon wings
And hear their warning bells ring

One day they’ll...

The Swing Set
By Kevin Robey
March 26, 2013

In a playground amongst the frozen wasteland
They swung together above the littered sand
He didn’t understand why she felt ok
Swinging in the cold, just swinging away

They didn’t talk as they swung away together
Despite the wind, she didn’t feel the weather
She...

The Unwanted Guest
By Kevin Robey
March 24, 2013

He was there, that much was obvious to all
But he was unseen, as blank as the white wall
An unwanted guest, like the rodents that stayed
In the floor boards below, they could show him the way

Long ago he was an...

All Used Up
By Kevin Robey
November 18, 2013

[Verse 1]
Just as messed up as I seem
My ears bleed every night I dream
Gasping every time I breathe
Just turn around and look at me

You may see clarity and sanity
But it’s vanity and insanity
Every time that I pass you by
Thinking...

In Between
By Kevin Robey
March 7, 2013

Bite my lip, to get through the pain
Might as well, I guess it’s all the same
Today or tomorrow, results are consistent
And here I was, hoping to feel different

It’s days like today, I think of the final solution
But when I speak...

Memories of Yesterday
By Kevin Robey
January 28, 2014
 
A light
So cold
Floorboards lined with mold
 
A day
So bright
It’s tearing out my sight
 
A crack
These scars
Just staying where they are
 
A chase
Dismayed
My audience will fade
 
I’m staying here just for the 
day
Where I just want for you to...

Can’t Think Straight
By Kevin Robey
November 1, 2013

I can’t think straight but it’s all right
I’m lighting up, I’m shining bright
She let me go, he’ll thank her for me
To let me out, to finally let me be

Can’t you see this isn’t a one way street?
I love them...

If I could just live for one day
No matter what you do
No matter what you say

If I could spend all that time
Just making it count
Just callin it mine 

I wouldn't be so obtuse 
I would make it ok
I'd untie my noose...

My Shattered Mind
By Kevin Robey
March 9, 2013

No inspiration, but I’m like stone
Stuck in my resolve in being alone
This anxiety is gripping me, killing me
Cutting the air until I no longer see

I write this down, no salvation found
I can tell there’s no one else around
I’ll look...

The Last Wall
By Kevin Robey
January 8, 2014

Captive in the grips of the oncoming downpour
He ventures into a scene drawn before him
Found the reasons to continue his current course
Back when he is young, where all dreams begin

Gripping the wheel of his war-torn Cadillac
Not caring if headlights...

Climbing Up That Hill
By Kevin Robey
October 3, 2013

Hi, my name is me and I’ll never see
The possibilities and meant to be’s
I may never come to that point in time
When my thoughts completely realign

I keep on saying one day you’ll see
Starry-eyed dreams are meant to be
Working...

"The Long Con"
By Kevin Robey
April 4, 2014

Tell me that it’s just a ruse
And I’m just a bit confused
That every single thing I do
Is getting further from the truth

I’ll gender-bend
You’ll condescend
Don’t make amends
Against your wind

Let’s just assume
That I’m immune
To changing tides
Of every moon

No wasted lines
Where this...

8 Hour Families
By Kevin Robey
December 23, 2013

In the places we both know
I keep finding them in dreams
For a fleeting moment it seems
I touch the gleam of the status 
quo

Now I see these daydream 
ghosts
Displayed behind this frosted 
glass
The winter storm made by the 
masses
Reminds me...

Crashing Cars
By Kevin Robey
November 21, 2013

Absorbing the aftermath of this dashboard story
This last car crash our attendance mandatory
The funeral awaits as the past is laid to waste
Every love embrace now leaves a bitter taste

Ambulance chaser off to the next catastrophe
The sirens SOS replaying patterns he’ll...
