Roses All Around

There’s no room to rest
I saw the cracks you’ve been slipping through
Fell into the mouths
And swallowed up
The stories shared between fools
These dreams they have no meaning
This misery
Remembered in hot floods
A secret love
Roses all around
Living out these dampened schemes
Clipping death
Slipping in between
A failing light burns bright
Explore the mask you’ve been peeking through
Dwell upon the crowd
That gathered up
The truth that’s bleeding through
These dreams they have no meaning
This misery
Remembered in hot floods
A secret love
Roses all around
Living out these dampened schemes
Clipping death
Slipping in between

Wanting War

This is our world
What are you waiting for?
I spent a day watching
I guess I was just wanting war
Not single thing that I adore
A single thing that keeps me wanting more
A single thing worth fighting for
A single thing that’s worth wanting more
The things she said, those words have left my head
A single thing worth dying for
This is our world
What are we fighting for?
i spent a day watching I guess I was just wanting war
But here I was just wanting more
A single thing thats worth fighting for

Sitting in my room
Watching both our endings planned
Landing on the moon
The world is full of water
No wonder lovers drown
Like gods pulling us down
But it’s the pills we’re fed
That pull us up tonight
It really made
It really made us wonder
He’s in trouble now
Standing on the banks
Feet are getting colder
We’re all just getting old
He’s in trouble now
The city growing colder
He’s in trouble now
Whispers in our ears
Cannot strangle fears
Cannot hold back these tears
It all just bleeds
This shame that makes you shiver
Made a shallow tomb
Haunting his own head at night
Leads this way to sleep
It felt like practice
I had a brush with sin
It all got lost in play
No use for happy songs
The words they just felt wrong
It all just made
It all just made him wonder

These words they wash over me
I peer from underneath a thousand dreams
A voice that follows free
Of all the things I deemed were down to punish me
I lay broken on the ground
These are the things they say
Please don’t make a sound
Just broken here, here on the ground
If the world would turn, just turn away
Don’t start though
These are the things they say
This flood has taken things
This god has grown tired
Of loving me
This voice
This voice just leave it be
Of all the things I deemed were sure to bury me
Lay here underground

Crimey

Free of any mention
They came to wonder why
We stood in both directions
We both commit the crime
I called it each time
Get caught get tossed away
We came to cross a line
These were the harshest days
We both commit the crime stalling for time
Never realize till you’re pushed away
The course that changes in certain ways
The peasants locked into the play
The course that changes a certain fate
But you act sly
I looked up at the light
You aren’t right
We both commit the crime stalling for time
You can pretend that you changed
Ignore all the mistakes that we’ve still made
You held me down to fight the pain
I can tell what we bled can’t wash these stains

Pretty Face

Relax your pretty face
Fall in the shadows from afar
We roamed around these streets from the seats of stolen cars
The man who took the high road
Serves the low to a troubled few
Cuz it’d be pain and suffering if I suffered without you
You laid there on New Years
Your lips were turning blue
I screamed and prayed and swung my fists
To beat the life back through
I never thought on different paths we’d cycle back around
I never thought I’d see you fall and stay there on the ground
Relax your pretty face boy

It was stated as a question
But they never really mentioned it before
The bliss of piled cash
It tumbled to the ground
As we were changing
Shoveled into the bags
Handed to crowds who waited
Such a simple task
Hid behind the trash that we created
You can feel the ache
The hands that choke the life away
I aimed my gun today
And shot outside the frame,
And loved the taste
Go ahead and remain distant
Blistered skin from the second you came exposed
It built and boiled over
Tucked under the covers
Flailing
We groveled at the feet
Of a life beyond our reach
So draining
This oh so simple task
That ripped it us both in half
We created
You can feel the ache
The hands that choke the life away
I aimed my gun today
And shot outside the frame,
And loved the taste
So hand over your worth
Exposed your very worst every day
I aimed my gun today
And shot outside the frame,
And loved the taste

What’s in a name?
Familiar sores exposed
Spread open again
But what do we gain?
I stood outside their home
And off the top I dove
Caught by the hands of god
And placed back in the sky
The traveling boy who kept me well for two days,
I slept with on the floor of a house on Interstate
He preferred to sleep up top, under that same sky
Nodded off the roof, four stories high
He never walked again and I wonder why
He never walked again didn’t bother to try
He never walked again and here I wondered why
Felt like the time of our lives
To those I loved who drowned
Consumed by their escape
The water filled their pores
And they sunk to the floor
We drifted on the lake
The cold will crack your bones
In dirt we dug a tomb
That tomb we made our home
The shyest boy I knew
We filled our world with hurt
The calm of the morning set, the days they were berserk
Can’t trust where you cop they don’t care if we die
He nodded off again and all I did was cry
He never walked again and I wonder why
He never walked again didn’t bother to try
He never walked again and here I wondered why
Had no hold of our lives

The man I met at Hooper
Had a noose around his neck
He was fed up
Before the drugs had took him
He was not afraid of death
No
What scared him the most
We’re all those beautiful children
Jumping rope
All around, the desert by the road
All the children, running home
When he is ready he’ll come back for me
I will not be afraid
But now is not the time
You were my least favorite person
Woke up in a pool of poison
Still next to you
Dreamt I jumped from the building
Landed on the ceiling
Still next to you
The day I left Milam
Had a leash around my neck
No longer fed up
Before the doors had opened
Laid tangled by a death
So close
What scared me the most
Was being born
Felt like a child finding home
All around the desert by the road
Just a child, running home
When I’m ready I’ll finally feel free
I will not be afraid
But now is not the time

I Needed The Pain

Boots in the dirt
We were stalling
For the buzz to take us
We’d already paid
Here’s to coming clean
I want to lie to your face
when it’s playful
We’re already saved
Can you trust your mouth
To know that it’s bleach
We’ve been drinking
Cause we’re running out
It’s just mixed with the mud
That’s holding us down
As we’re sinking
In small amounts
It’s true the few I’ve loved keep haunting
It’s something that never will change
The news of those I loved passing
It’s crushing but I needed the pain
Sorry mom I’m a flirt
Always brushing
Against the stable
Down in the dirt
They begged for truth
They weren’t able
To trust like demanding
They be hurt
Watch animals scream
As they're pulled apart
By something higher
Up In the chain
Tried to save them all
They got lifted
Up to a heaven
Put an end to the fall
It’s true the few I’ve loved keep haunting
It’s something that never will change
The news of those I loved passing
It’s crushing but I needed the pain
I’ve lost more than most
Surrounded here by ghosts
It’s something that never will change
The news of those I loved passing
It’s crushing but I needed the pain
