Spent so many years of this life
Running from things I can’t hide
Will it ever turn out alright?
Will the sun rise soon enough
On a day of satisfaction
Or will it just stay this dark
Is this working?
Or is it enough
Everything broken
And so much lost
Tell me you’re trying
I’ll tell you too
Even if we’re lying
Too many years of fighting
What’s too many years more
Running from things I can’t hide
Will the sun ever rise?
Running from things I can’t hide
Will it ever turn out alright?

Thoughts keep running
All around
How can I
Stop this sound
That keeps eating
At my brain
Destroying my hope
Leaving me pain
What I
Can’t do
Is live
This life
How can
I find
Peace and quiet
What will
I say
To those
Who care
I tried
So hard
I just can’t win
Ever again
Pressure from within
Eats away at me
I cant breathe
Without it making me
Want to scream out loud
Disappear for days
Find another way
To make myself afraid
Of losing
All I have
Someone please
Unchain me

Sleep

2:18 and I can’t sleep
What the fuck is wrong with me
Skin and bones, tongue in cheek
Emptiness between the sheets
Just an honest night’s sleep
For no one else but me
A single moment of relief
Just some air to breathe

All these laws put in place
are lies to keep a line between those who challenge and the power to control every penny every dime every human life every opportunity to break out of this fucking cycle
That keeps beating down those who don’t possess
The identity you want in command
What the fuck are we gonna do to end this discrimination
How do we erase this redline and give true liberation
Division selection separation
Mass incarceration of all
Jim Crow lives on
In this country

See right through your excuses of those you idolize
Thought we were stronger than this
Thought we don't comply
The good guys backed hard mentality
Who decides which ones to believe
Spew your lies up on the stage
Reason and purpose and all things grey
Compassion what does that mean?
How do you know?
Who decides what’s the truth
When everything has been smeared away
Compassion what does that mean?
What does that mean?
How do you know!
How do you know!
How do you know!
Spew your lies up on the stage
Reason purpose all things grey
When everything’s been smeared away
Who decides who will stay

Hollow Hope

Push me down
To the ground
Hold me there
Until I give in
This hollow hope inside of me
Wants it all to change
But will it ever
Will it ever go away
will never be free
From all this pain
What can I do to free my mind from this hate
What can I do to kill the abuser inside my head
locked away for so long
I can’t see
Just a shadow of me
Just a little black hole
on a typical street
And I breathe away the shackles
chant away the restraints
no more delusion
no more hate
I live in this question
each and every day
What can I do to free my mind from this hate
What can I do to kill the abuser inside my head
Locked away for so long
Just a shadow of me
Never felt a sense of relief
When I was finally free
hollow hope

Find ourselves
Thinking what could have been
All these years have gone by
In and out of our lives
These dreams keep coming
Each and every night
Waking up to these tears
And this ache inside
Let’s go back
time free of pain
young and careless
Those were the days
Why can’t it be
Easy to say goodbye
When will these thoughts
Be out of my fucking mind
This is our twilight
Don’t want to say goodbye
The light is going dark
Don’t want to be blind
Let’s go back
time free of pain
Young and careless
Those were the days
Those were the days
Young and free of pain
Don’t want to
Don’t want to
Don’t want to say goodbye

Hide the truth
Of what you have inside
Spent these years
Trying to deny
The claims of those
You held to the ground
Everything has been taken away
What will you do
To repair the harm
Harm
Until we win
Or until we die
We will not give up
From this fight
We will not
We will not give up
We will not
We will not give up
Hung from the wall
Rope around my neck
Are you scared of us now
Until we win or until we die
We will not give up

So let them know
I choose my own way to burn
For the ones with their back to the wall
This one is for you
For those who stand in the way of progress
I have nothing for you
But anger
And resentment
That’s all you need
To Carry out
The burden
You left for us
The burden
I won’t let you bury me

To the Moon and Back

The sky is pitch black
The sky is pitch black
Without you shining there
will I see your face
Or is it hidden forever
Your craters hide the scars
Of a hardened life
How can we live
Through the night without the moon
I’m sorry I didn’t know what to do to make the pain go away for you
Heartbreak came and went, lost in permanence.
Love sick, left to rust. The debt in us, the blue and black in grey.
Cheat death, up and left. The wake in consequence.
Lovesick, left to rust. The pull in us of tides you drag away.
What I would give to see you shine one more night
Love sick, left to rust
What I would give
