Unreturned Love

Loving someone who doesn't love you back is one of the greatest pains
There is no sunshine, everyday it rains
Yearning for their love but none in sight
They look past you everynight
Not wanting to seem needy, you try to keep it real
But wanting them to know the way you feel
Rejection leaves me wounded on the floor
Pretend you love me, I can't take this anymore
Obsession takes over, I can't hide my pain
Needing you has me going insane
Feeling so lonely I desire another's touch
I can't help it, I love you so much 
Why can't you just love me too?
Everyday I feel so blue

Addiction

I yearn for you like no other
My day can not begin with out you
The feelings you give me
Have fueled my addiction
Unless you are inside of me 
I can't seem to function
The rush i feel once you enter my system
Is worth all the pain you will bring later
My parents wonder what's wrong
I always give excuses
And start to believe them myself
The temperature of my body fluctuates
My eyes dilated and red
The thoughts in my head
No longer make sense
Incapable of surviving on my own
I wonder if things will ever change
The drugs have taken over
My name is all that remains the same
Sick of the lies and come downs
I try to think of sober times
But too much of me is gone
I don't want to die
Why am I leading this life?
I fear the changes I must make
But they are necessary
No one knows who I am anymore
Not even me
I have the power to quit
But I don't want to
Give me my next dose

Manipulator

You always try to manipulate me and make me feel bad
But I always fall victim to your charm and that makes me mad
Your good looks are all you have got
You are a jerk, you're lucky you're hot
I am a good person with a very big heart
And you took advantage from the very start
Because of you my self esteem is small
Why do I even give my all?
The attitude you possess always makes me cry
You have taken everything, I want to die
I love you but my love is not returned
When I'm with you I always get burned
Losing you is my biggest fear
For some reason I want you near
Why do I do this to myself? I must be insane
What the hell is wrong with my brain?
My thinking is warped, there's no end in sight
I can't seem to do anything right

Emotions

As the barrier of darkness
Becomes more known
My tears try to resist fall
I am so full of love
I am so full of hate
They tear me until I bleed
My senses begin to weaken
My reflection slowly changes
My emotions pulse through me
There is no light
I try to fight it
But it has taken over
Please run before I hurt you
I have warned but it is too late
Our blood slowly mixes
Our emotions the same
We have become one
But will you turn on me?
I can't risk it
I try to escape it
But you steal me
You have me
Take advantage of me
I am already gone
But you are just my own emotions

Take Me Down

The first time I met you I knew it was the end
I'm addicted to you and I won't bend
Your crazy ways somehow reel me in
Let's live a life together full of sin
Abandoning all good, I'm going to hell
We've lost our minds can't you tell?
Seduction so sweet I start to tingle
Too bad you're a liar and you're not single
Your beauty is breath taking, I can't look away
You have me by the heart, I'll always stay
Even though you abuse me I love the pain
Why can't I leave you? Am I insane?
When we are together evil surrounds us
Get away from you I really must
Longing for your forbidden touch
I can't take this anymore, it's too much
Wanting you so bad it's not fair
Take me down with you I don't care

I Can Do It

I need to let go of my pain and my sorrow
Because a new day starts tomorrow
Anticipation of success clouds my eyes
This time is different, not like my other tries
Before I didnt want to change, no I didnt care
But I'm sick of looking like a tweeker from the wear and tare
I will smile and tears will no longer fall
I have got to be tough if I hit a wall
Rejection may happen but I won't give up
Once a half empty glass, now a full cup
If I play my cards right I know I'll be fine
I've got to shape up and get in line
Just because I'm an addict doesn't mean jack
I can say no if you try to sell me a sack
My intelligence radiates, I want to do well
Things are changing can't you tell?
Don't tell me anything other than I'm awesome
It's time for the real me to blossom

Drugs

With too much time on my hands I always think of you
We've had some good times, that much is true
But the things you took I can never get back
My soul vanished more with each tempting sack
I wanted to stop, I thought I was done
But it looks like again the devil has won
It can and will consume you so fast
And you're stuck with highs that don't last
My heart has blackened, my head a blur
I'm going to hell and that's for sure
Losing family and friends is oh so sad
All because of the fun we thought we had
In and out of jail, detox is never fun
But all I can think about is my next run
Somedays I'm just in my head
Somedays I wish I was dead 
The moral of the story is to not take that first hit
Because you will fall into a bottomless pit

Day of Reckoning

Why can't you just let me burn?
I have to because it's my turn
My day of reckoning has come
And my pain has just begun
My eyes are open, now I see
Everyone has just been using me
No love only lots of hate
The devil is waiting, we've got a date
I can hear the screaming, no I won't cry
It's my fault I had to die
I knew god never had my back
He vanished when I smoked that first sack
I tried to live a good life
But I couldn't help but use the knife
When my blood flowed out of my skin
I was wildly attracted to the sin
Now I'm in hell, no happiness around
In the corner there's dead bodies in a mound
My nightmares are coming true, this is my reality
I've sacrificed my last bit of sanity
There's no hope for me please run
My future is full of sorrow, no fun

Friends

Sitting with friends reminiscing about the past
Memories with them I know will last
When I was down and out
They always told me not to pout
Everything is going to be alright is what they say
Support was given, I never had to pay
When there was nothing to do we would talk
Always entertaining, even a shock
All the late nights and time spent
Never a dull moment, what an event
Even when things aren't that great
I know it will get better, we don't hate
They always make me laugh and smile
We are going to be together for a while
With them I can be myself, they never judge
I'll love them until the end, I won't budge

Crash and Burn

Slowly but surely I will crash and burn
But I deserve it because it's my turn
Hitting that pipe watching my dreams fade away
You're just a piece of trash is what they say
I chase that high to escape my life
If I hold out my wrists will you hand me the knife?
I want to get high and have everything be ok
But I want to die at the end of every day
Stealing, hustling, smoking, and lying
I seem to always find myself crying
Got to maintain, there's no way I can stop
Now I realize I was never on top
Why do I hurt the ones I love? 
Is there really a god up above?
The good old days are gone and never coming back
Sorry I have got to go pick up another sack
