Broken Bones 03:15
Broken bones- It's what I'm prone to. Can't change the way I am- a frustrated man. So don't fucking tell me what I can do. Carrying myself. I'm all on my own, with nothing to hold me up. I've kicked that crutch out from under me. Only I can see what's between my ears, so don't fucking tell me what I can do. Constantly fighting has taught me to appreciate moments of happiness and love. When is it going to get easier? I can tell you never. When will the wind die down? When will the rain let up? I am fucking fed up. Someone once told me I'm resilient. Coming from a mouth of brilliance. A million times I've rebounded, so I know it's not permanent. Because nothing is. Nothing is permanent Live for this moment, fight for your life now. Bleed out. Kill this stagnant stream inside you.

Wide Awake 04:12
I'm getting used to not sleeping. So much I can't count the days. Sometimes I slip into dreaming- into the background I fade. I think too much of the meanings and not enough hit the page. I get caught up in the feelings and lost inside of the greys. I guess I'm one for believing if you stay strong then it pays, but everything that I'm seeing shows not a thing stays the same. Something's been eating me away. I can feel it in my veins. My heart and my mind become a victim to my rage. Channelling the pain into something I can gain. Strip away the spirits from the demons I contain. There is no light without the dark. We have to fight to make a mark. We may slip and fall apart, but we won't let down our hearts. Even after I depart there will always live a part of me inside of all the people who have guarded me ,and shown me what's worth living for. When all the lights go out and no one's there to watch your movements, I want to know what's going through your mind. And even if there's not a single star inside the sky tonight, I feel like I'm lighting up the sky. Just take it day by day. It's okay, we've all been lost. And when you start to slip away, remember everything you've got. We're too young to say anything certain, so why the fuck do you seem so urgent? I can't close my eyes because I know that when I do, I scare my self with vicious thoughts and words that ring untrue, Damaging my mind I see a door that frees my soul. If I could find that key I'd shut my eyes and go to sleep. I can't close my eyes.

The pictures of you and me still hang on my wall. To anyone who loved someone, watched them fall, or lost the person they reflected most, and expected none of this to ever happen to them... I'll lay you down softly on your bed. Cold closed eyes colder than death. I don't understand why you did this, but I'm slowly getting used to it. Painful lessons you put everyone through. Nonetheless a lesson we must all endure to truly feel our grip on life, and its fragility. The possibility of ending your days early without warning. Expecting this is like a shot in the dark. Mark the days and keep them safe in your head and heart. Don't forget me when I'm gone. I'll always remember you. You're in my flesh and bone. You're in my heart and soul. I'll lay you down softly on your bed. Cold closed eyes colder than death. I don't understand why you did this, but I'm slowly getting used to it. Painful lessons you put everyone through. Nonetheless a lesson we must all endure to truly continue on our journey through these days. I'm realizing that our time is running thin. I count the days like the greys on your chin. I don't question where you've been or who you've been with. This did not destroy us. It made me into the man I am. When the plan fell through I stayed true. It made me into the man I am. When the plan fell through I stayed. Fuck you.

I'm awake at night while your sleeping to let you have the warmth of my bed. Laying on the floor again, just so I can rest my head. You're safe while I'm stuck in this rut, now that I'm out I feel freedom again. If you can wait one more day, we can live again and you'll be in my arms. I hope this separation between our hearts isn't enough to keep us apart. Build yourself back up from the ground. Stand up straight chest out and tall. Fire within is deep and low. Give it sometime and watch it grow. A future awaits as we define our fate. Sleep on those things that might keep you awake. Just go to sleep. Rest your head and go to sleep. Let it be known, I have grown. I can't help you walk down your road, I'm busy with my own. I'm alone on my own. Time and time again I've confided in my friends. 35 will end and 146 begins. This will be the final chapter moving from this house. I'll let you build your memories where I once grew up. Please leave the ghosts alone, they've been there from the start. Now I'll leave this broken home filled with broken hearts. Changing with the seasons for no apparent reason. Drinking just to shut my eyes, I'm falling apart from the inside.

Crossroads 03:39
The only thing in the way of my dreams is me. I can only blame myself for who I will be. Half truths that I told myself I finally see. I pealed back the skin to find what I need. I'll scrape up the faith I threw to the floor. How could I have felt this and doubted it before? It's never too late to open new doors. Today won't return, so I'll let my heart soar. I'm held down by structures, encaged in myself. I tear through these bones to find my way out. I may be lost but I'm not alone. Part of me always is far from home. I scream out my dreams, I hold back my ambitions. We'll sing it back louder 'cause nobody listens. Sometimes I'm wrong when I think I'm right, but life's not black and white. My patience wears so thin before my mind puts up a fight. And even when I dream I can't seem to sleep. My thoughts keep falling to my feet. I've become so numb to everything I am. Is this what it's like to be a man? The distance thickens from my heart to my head, and I'm not sure if I'm still something good for my friends. My frustration's contagious and I can't make it end. I try to find the patience but I'll sooner be dead. I venture deep inside my mind. Question everything I find. Somehow everything deceives me. No one ever said it would be easy. But someday when my body stays behind, I might finally be fine. (I've waited so long.) I've wanted to do this all along. (I don't want to wait.) What more do I really want? (Bound to two roads.) Two roads I have to choose from, (I've made my choice,) when those two roads become one. This could be the hardest choice I'll ever have to make. Split in half, my choice is destiny.
