lyrics

What if I was never even here in the first place?
Would it make any difference to their surveys?
Wings spreading, but Im stuck in this bird cage
Whatever, life is just a blue sky that turns grey
Most of the earth's face was beautiful, fine up until my muse lied
My two eyes fell for somebody's cruel mind, habitually two timed
Too many times to count, was finding out where the truth hides
Yeah like everything coming from a liars mouth carries two sides
So confused by a sense of removed spite and
the numerous contusions on my bruised pride
I'd abuse a new vice, every other moon rise, outta body too high
Head buzzed, been coming down definitely faster than I went up
The whole thing was a setup, I've been missing my ex-love
Now every flings a sex crush, like Im addicted to that flesh drug
Less trust more habit, more to get some--reaction outta the pretentious
Living on my last ten bucks for like the last ten months
Careless actions, years are passing, yea the last ten sucked

Hatchets to bury,(bury, bury) habits to break (break, break)
Madness to marry,(marry marry) passion to thank
and you know what they say


New day, old skin. I want to let it all out
Empty myself, got nothing left to hold in
No recognition, No reward, No risk
The seasons keep coming and going and going Im gone..

Im gone, Im gone

..

What was I thinking trying to chase dreams?
Well I musta thought that it would all taste sweet
Wanted to get caught up in some great things
Wasn't aware of the nightmare that was awaiting
Like fuck, it makes me wonder what the price was*
Longer nights with songs to write about life stuff*
Eyes sunk, tight lungs, Gave it all away for a stage and mic rust
just to wake and ride bus, Subtlety underplay this life rut
Been dealing with dry funds, just feeling out life's bumps
Yea been nibbling on the pie crust, unbiased another visionary with blind trust
Distressed, still can't remember how I got myself into this mess
Piss stench, Ripped threads rolling with holy pockets nobody to impress
Im not in the business of rich men, but I know the minutes you invest
More often than not condition your interest, had my innocence misled
Once upon a grin spread, My rotten integrity was only getting grittier
Thin stretched across my lips wet, hasn't gotten any prettier since then

To the common city stranger, do you think your story matters?
Would it make any difference if they knew you before and after?
Skim through the important chapters.. before your heart was drugged
and after the scars of love, composure gathered but its hard to trust

Hatchets to bury,(bury, bury) habits to break (break, break)
Madness to marry,(marry marry) passion to thank
and you know what they say

New day, old skin. I want to let it all out
Empty myself, got nothing left to hold in
No recognition, No reward, No risk
The seasons keep coming and going and going Im gone..

Im gone, Im gone
