Slipping Away

Time is slipping away,
I just don't want to stay.
Why can't you just let me stray,
The world of Black and White, has so much Gray.

Depressing days come and go,
My heart is broken, I'm all alone.
The world turns their backs and ignores nobody can know,
My heart without it's very own.

Days grow darker each minute,
I never wanted to be so deep in it.
I'm just stuck in this little pit,
Just another blow, another hit.

I lay in a ball on the dirt of my friend's grave,
Rain falling on my skin the weight, how can i be saved.
The mud that changes the dirt, stains my clothes,
This depression in my cold heart, every second it grows.

Dread Life

You said you’d never walk away,
All I wanted was for you to stay.
I hold tight to my pain
Why did you go I never felt the same.
The sky is red
You never had time for what I have said.
All I wanted was for my parents to stay,
But ever since I keep dreading that day.
What did I do wrong,
I listen to music and write songs.
Why did I get left alone,
That just means this was never my real home.
You cut me open,
Just with the words you have spoken.
Call me names and bring me down,
I promise you’ll never see me frown.
You won’t come in the way of my dreams,
You never knew what I really mean.
You took my words and spun them around,
I will never be that person left on the ground.
This is for the day you make me dread,
My birthday will be forever dead.
I will succeed without you,
My friends are all I need that’s my crew.

Hold On To

The wind is strong
We have nothing to hold on
The sun is going down behind the hills
The violet sky and the tangerine glow on the local mill.
The wind blows away our dreams
I hold on to the seams.
I watch you as you stare
You want me to let go but I don’t dare.
My dreams are all, you’re nothing to me
Once I leave you ill be free.
Two more years,
There goes all my fears.
My dream will come true
That’s because I did it all WITHOUT you.

Run With Me

August 5th was the first time we met,
I thought I would never see you again after this warped tour set.
I glanced at you with just a smile,
This smile stuck for a great while.
I thought I would never see you after this,
I sat in my desk first day of school look who it is.
I recognize you from a mile away,
Could it be that guy from that one day?
He sits right in front of me,
I still couldn’t comprehend could this be.

When I first saw him on the 5th,
A part of me died, like in a fairytale myth.
I knew I wouldn’t ever see him after,
Until the silence broke the laughter.
He walks in to my class with a glance over at me,
My mouth dropped, it was like I lost my ability to see.
This guy I been thinking of since that day,
I didn’t have the guts to say what I wanted to say.

Now three months later, we are close in a way I never thought could come true,
It’s like I caught the love flu.
My heart is so comfortable around you,
Why do you have to make this so hard to do.
I am so deeply falling for this,
Please just one chance for this feeling I miss.
I know you love me as much as I love you,
I know this is hard; my heart is like a zoo.
It is just going wild,
I never felt this feeling before, I feel like a child.
The way my heart beats,
It’s so insane I feel like it’s just a repeat.
I have found the one I want to take a chance with,
Just remember the 5th.
The first time I fell,
You did too I can tell.
Take my hand and runaway with me,
This isn’t even close to the end you see.
I am ready to run away,
I am just waiting for you to say ok.
But just remember the day we met,
It was the 5th of august the day I won’t ever forget.

Life Is A

Life is a way
You can make or brake,
Life is a dream
You’re never awake,
Life is a style
You can have it be chrome,
Life is love
Some one can make it there own,
Life is a glass
Its is fragile it may shatter,
Life is a hour glass
You may live long if it matters,
Life sometimes is bad
You just wanna die,
Life has friends
So you can all hug and cry,
Life is a tree
You grow over time,
Life is a choice
You choose to do a crime,
Life has ended
Its time for you to go,
Life is now done
Time to go with the flow.

Broken Heart Endings

(Verse 1)
Traveling on the never ending road,
The world on my shoulders, a normal load.
My eyes locked on the white light at the end,
When will this end, time for a descend.
I look into the eyes of the winding road of nothing,
Where will it take me, please bring me something.
I can feel you getting under my skin,
Climbing up to my heart that you made paper thin.
You were once there, and cut through the seams,
Stepping on what I cherished most, my dreams.

(Chorus)
I hate that you keep coming back,
Just leave me and that’s that.
I hated our times together and the joy you brought,
Now that my heart is gone my life is shot.
I’m coming back to being me from being your whore,
It took me days to get over your ugly core.
Now that the angels are descending,
This is your broken heart ending.

(Verse 2)
How did we love?
When I cover the bruises you said it was a simple shove.
I hate you for touching me the first time,
Making me feel so special like it was a crime.
Now that I am with the angels in the sky,
Try to touch me I want to see if you can make it this high.
I will forever be above you.
And im sorry I ever said the word love, I had no clue.
You made so many angels cry,
So here is the turn for your streak to die.
I give up on you and im done with this,
Here is to you your last and final poison kiss.

(Chorus)
I hate that you keep coming back,
Just leave me and that’s that.
I hated our times together and the joy you brought,
Now that my heart is gone my life is shot.
I’m coming back to being me from being your whore,
It took me days to get over your ugly core.
Now that the angels are descending,
This is your broken heart ending.
