Ghostwriting A Catharsis
03:34

I see the shadows falling down
On undeserving worlds
The chaos and pain
It just can’t be contained
Heavy-hearted sorrow
It’s screaming to me too
I reach out my hand
In hopes of reaching you
With nothing left to lose
And only love to gain
We could overcome
Stronger and remain
Feel me
I read the writing on the walls
and burned it deep into my brain
Etched it deep within my skin
Just to feel something real
It’s more than what you said
but conviction that brings me to heal
Maybe someday when
I have found my way
I’ll do much the same
Every word meaning something
Not one word ever wasted
They’ll feel me too
Can you feel it?
Not one word wasted
Not one word wasted
Not one word wasted
Not one word wasted
And even though my best wasn’t much
You could’ve sworn that it was more than enough
To give more to give everything at once
At least I fucking tried

Letting Go
01:42
|

With just a kiss before you go
I’ll tell you all you need to know
With all my love, I would suppose
That I’m afraid of letting go
Afraid that I’m replaceable
Afraid of losing all I love and
Afraid to start over again
I reap what I am forced to sew
My heart is torn to pieces
It’s lonely in this space
Heaven knows I’m miserable
Help me out
Get me out

No Love No Trust
02:02

How do I live
When there is no love?
How do I love
When there is no trust?
Been tossed aside
More than I’d admit
Betrayed by my constant search
for happiness
Seems like yesterday
That things were just okay
A piece of me remained
Now nothing fits the same
Do I even know
What loving fucking means?
I would’ve never turned my back back then
If I’d ever learned to trust again
And in my heart I know that love lives there
But in my bones I know know you never cared
Do it
No love
No trust
No love
No love, no trust

So Long Partner

Some days, things just get worse
Like harboring a curse
A pain I just can’t nurse
Last ride out in the back of a hearse
I’ve loved and then I’ve lost
The price is just too great a cost
For a poor soul like me
Loneliness and all my misery
Wiping the tears
From my eyes
You gave me one
Kiss goodbye
I haven’t been the same
Since that last day
Before it all went away
Moments stand to fade
Like tears melting in the rain
I looked for a way to go back
But one look into the mirror
told me “good luck with that”
Ever wondered what it’s like to be alone?
Its what’s crossed my mind each and every day
since he had died
In my arms that one night
Moments stand to fade
Like tears melting in the rain
They just keep slipping away
Never to come back
Never to come back
Moments stand to fade
Like tears melting in the rain
They just keep slipping away
I’ve loved and then I’ve lost
The price is just too great a cost
A single rose was lain
I remind myself that
You’re not in pain

As Flowers Wilt

“I Tried!”
He said as he looked into her eyes
Mascara tears left streaming down her cheeks
As flowers wilt, he bled the guilt
It came as no surprise
This is the last time that she’ll ever say goodbye
And as she turned to walk away
She felt the wind whisper his name
Turned around and he was gone
“You always were the one”
So before I slip from this withered shell
Walk away while you still have the chance
Walk away while you have the chance
The lives we lead and the lies we tell
Fall like autumn leaves
To the bottom of the wishing well
With the petals that dried
And as you turn to walk away
(And as you turn to walk away)
You felt the wind whisper my name
(You felt the wind whisper my name)
Turned around and I was gone
But you will have my love

Suicide Pact

Let's go out
With a bang
Let the flames
Light our way
This isn’t easy for me to do
To stop myself from asking
“What’s there to prove?”
(What’s left to prove?)
It’s all in this letter
From me to you
It’s everything, you’ve heard it all before
(Never read, I tore it right in two)
So before you turn and close the door
(Just know that I loved you)
As I take
My final breath
Just know it was floating in your lungs
With just a kiss goodnight
Or a kiss goodbye
Let’s take our last withering love
(And bring it to it’s fucking knees)
Let’s just go out with a bang
And put our lives to rest
When the bell tolls again
(When the bell tolls again)
Our names will be dancing with the dead
(Among the dead)
Hymns for our hopeless hearts
Sung into the night
The vigil will light a sorry sky
Hymn for a hopeless heart
We’ve been buried before
Under the weight of duress
Put your lips to the barrel, my dear
I’m waiting for you there
We’ll greet death with a kiss
We’ll greet death with a kiss
