Fuck you, I'm out

A kid in the scene, yeah you were just eighteen
A pluralistic fallacy of sweet and mean
The fucked up kind of love that makes you scream
I guess nothing’s ever like what it seems
I should have known better at twenty-one
Started off fun in the Chesapeake sun
After a few months the dynamic spun
Nothing like playing with a loaded gun
A ticking time bomb just waiting to blow
I’d set that timer and watch you explode
Never could guess what would make you go
Say the wrong thing and we’d be toe to toe
You took a summer job up in DC
I should have left but missed the opportunity
Sure you weren’t working for Langley?
It’s like the CIA the way you tortured me
It’s no California love song it’s an east coast tragedy
This continent just isn’t big enough for you and me
It’s not like I don’t shoulder any of the blame
But fuck you! I’m out, I’ll be on the next plane!
After college we went separate ways
Heard at Outer Banks you stepped on a ray
Call it schadenfreude as they say
A few skin grafts you were fine anyway
The years went by now I’m European
I heard you moved to the Caribbean
Your second marriage, kids up all night screaming
Across the ocean I found my freedom
I don’t like you, you don’t like me
This is the first time we both agree
I went away, you wished me well
Eat shit and die, I’ll see you in hell

Cheap Excuses

A part of me died too that day
Guess you just couldn’t find a way
To make it through the shit
that was beating you down
So many turned their backs on you
I hate to admit I’m guilty too
It’s just so fucking hard
to watch somebody die
Haunted by memories
the things we did, the songs we’d sing
dreams we had that we never realized
But did it all mean as much to you?
I’ll never know what you went through
If I had been there would it have
changed a goddamned thing?
Friendship tossed aside
petty fights and damaged pride
left you there to face it all on your own
The first to go but not the last
All victims of circumstance
Suburban boredom, a needle and authority
Where would I be today
If I hadn’t walked away
Another casualty of that broken town?
Cheap excuses ease my brain
still the regret remains
I’m so sorry, I know that I should have stayed
Did you think about me on your final day
If you had called, would I have even had a clue of what to say
You needed a friend, I wasn’t there to show you I still cared
Instead you died there in that cell, cold, alone and scared
A part of me died too that day
Guess you just couldn’t find a way
To make it through the shit
that had beaten you down
So many turned their backs on you
I hate to admit I’m guilty too
It just too fucking hard
to watch somebody die

Drowning

You’re Drowning….
Drowning in a sea of pain
no one left around to blame
A sea filled with shame and regret
A past you’re desperate to forget
At the surface gasping for air
Calling out, there’s no one there
The waves keep crashing down on you
Like the world that you once knew
Your sanity is breaking down
And no one else wants you around
Feel so lost but can’t be found
Falling fast but there’s no ground
In that prison you designed
There’s no getting out this time
The life you knew fading fast
Holding on but you can’t last
No shades of grey, just black and white
And you’re giving up the fight
What will you do when no one’s left
To save you from yourself?
You’re drinking…
Drunk again it’s half past ten
Contemplating mortal sin
Wrote a note, left in plain sight
You hope this time you get it right
Another try, it’s pills this time
Downed the bottle, washed down with wine
Fade to black, wake up next day
No relief, no more will to stay
You’re praying…
Pray your faith will get you through
convinced your savior’s punishing you
Thinking that the god you love
Stopped looking down from above
Push the fantasies to the side
The answer lies with you inside
No one can save you from yourself
It’s you alone against the rest
