I’d walk into my backyard and sit in my hammock. Summer evening air suppresses my panic. I can smell the ocean from miles away. Please, wind, take me away Oh, please take me away. Oh, please take me away. Each day at this time, I seem to fall back To my younger days which had long since passed. Standing barefoot on my rough driveway Staring at the sky wondering what to say. These years have gone by so fast I’ve let too many chances pass I fear I’ll grow old with nothing to show I should give myself a break sometimes. So I’ll stand up straight Look into the mirror I’ll tell myself Not today, you have too much to give. You have a purpose, it soon will surface. Nothing will take me away. Nothing can take this away. Nothing will take me away. Nothing can take this away from me.

Another week, another month And still I believe that my next minute will be my last Haunting memories follow me like a ghost Reminding me, where I’ve gone wrong. I’m following in footsteps of people I wanna forget. People who’ve abandoned me, left me for dead. I’m sick of who I see when I wake up. He’s not who I recall. Not someone who gave up. Sometimes I can forget the past But that illusion will never last. Dealing with this shit day in and day out I need someone to tell me what life’s about. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a cry for help. Just reading off the fucked up hand that I’ve been dealt. You see there comes a point in everyone’s life when you Have to realize what’s a lie and what’s the truth. Sometimes its not always so black and white So fuck the spectrum, paint it in your own light. Just hearing these words come out Shake me to my core and make me start to doubt. Everything I’ve said to myself and honestly I think I’m better off talking in my sleep. At least I can be rightfully ignored Instead of being asked “what is this all for?” You see, there is, something, thats bothering me. Its how, you claim, to see right through me

I guess I didn’t see it coming. This whirlwind of disappointment. I know this was all your fault. But Like always I’ll take the blame. You pin it on me like you used to. You’ll never fucking change. You bring out the worst in me. And all it does is make you smile. You’d only put me back together Just to have something to destroy. I can’t ever just break free From oppression and anxiety. And you’ll say You know what I’m going through. So I feel i need a crutch Just to hold on and get through. But here’s the thing You never really helped Only made me feel Like I’m my worst enemy. So now I’m stuck with a feeling of regret. Locked inside my room, sleeping till the sun has set. You said things will get better, but how long is too long to wait for change. You said things will get better, but i don't know how long i can wait. for change. This room is starting to spin out of control I think I’m losing control, I’m losing control. I cant stand on my own, I have no feeling left. I think this might be it for me.

Give In 06:14
You left me in the dark for so long I’ve forgotten what the sun feels like. But now there’s something burning Through my skin Its speaking in tongues telling me right from wrong But unbeknownst to me, Its a language of fallacies. Like the one you spoke to me for so long Now my ears are so used to only hearing lies. Your words demean and break me down Attack from the inside. And now there’s nothing I can do But sit back and just give in. I’m sinking faster through the floorboards With every passing second. Not a single chance to catch my breath I’ll die with more questions than answers. I’ll die with more questions than answers Why can’t I feel anything? Why the fuck can’t I feel anything? So this where things end for you and me. There won’t be any truces made and only hard feelings left. Its in these moment that we see who we truly are Total and complete strangers With nothing to offer each other. So we’ll leave it at a teary goodbye. But thank you for nothing, It was a hell of a ride I don’t want to hear from you again. Get rid of my number, forget what I look like.
