Not Everything's Shit

There are days when my anxiety drags me through the coals,
and I get so tired,
but the feeling comes and goes.
There are days when I'm convinced that I might just die alone,
but I promise you this,
I won't let go,
of my always fleeing hope.
No I won't ever let you go.

Red handed sitting back, in your stubborn ways, all wrapped up in sheep skin. When you left you set the whole house on fire and it stayed lit my whole life.
Your voice stretches across the phone line thin,
Our lives are different, but our blood is the same
It's getting harder to say your name,
Our lives are different, but our blood is the same.
These walls,
These walls,
Come crashing down at the sound of your voice,
It's been years apart, I'm still not getting used to this,
If you ever care to know the days you spent on the road shaped who I am.
I'm not scared of dying alone, its been years apart I guess I'm getting used to this, if you ever care to know the days you spent on the road shaped who I am.
Our lives are different, but our blood is the same.

Fading

Your voice inside my head,
Is fading every year,
like the ink inside my skin,
I hardly notice it anymore.
But I remember that night so clearly,
out past our old place and onto the hill,
we said what we had to say and then we sat so still,
I could feel my heartbeat speeding up,
the glow of the dashboard was burning in our eyes,
The last thing you said,
Still keeps me up at night,
As you put out your cigarette,
you turned and said goodbye.
When it's all been so long,
When it's all been so long,
I really should say so long,
I'm tired of this place and I wanna go home,
You left your carvings in the corners of my brain,
Unable to escape this constant habit and the feeling that somethings not quite right here,
And I'm stuck in this loop with you.
Your voice inside my head,
Gets weaker every year,
Like a flame that we once lit,
and now it's struggling,
it's struggling for air.
It's struggling for air.
Your voice inside my head,
Is finding every year,
And I don't mind.

1995

I stayed hidden in my room,
I stayed hidden away from you because I knew,
Because I knew,
All the things that you did,
And all the things that were you,
Were something I could not live with,
I could not bare to be so cruel,
It hurt a lot,
Your hands on my jaw,
and your hands on the doorknob,
The doorknob across the hall,
It hurt a lot,
The things that you did,
We were just three kids,
We were just three kids.
Back in the summer of '95 my mother fell in love with you,
You spent that summer laughing and sharing lunches in the break room,
Then later in '96 you took that step into my life,
I was so excited to have someone who could be my go to guy,
But it was in my blood,
That you hated,
You could see his smile in mine,
You could see him in my eyes,
I just wanted to be loved,
And have someone who I could turn to,
With all the problems in life,
I'm still finding reasons why.
I'm still finding reasons why.
Now I'm older and I've learned,
that some people will just use you,
for all that you have and take every chance to hurt you,
So if what we had was love,
I'll take the silence in my room instead,
I can't say I've forgiven you but I'm learning to forget.
I'm learning to forget.
On the day you die,
I will likely shed some tears,
No I won't be crying for you,
I'll be remembering those years,
And I'll cry for what we could of had,
And hold my hands up to the light,
And I'll hope you find your peace,
And I find the love that I lost back in '95.

Love Will Find Me

Not everything's shit,
There's a silver lining,
In every moment,
And love will find me.
I'll never let you go, never let you go,
(It's all dark so I sleep with the lights on)
(It's all dark so I sleep with the lights on)
I'll be here, never let you go, never let you go,
(It's all dark so I sleep with the lights on)
(It's all dark so I sleep with the lights on)
Not everythings shit,
There's a silver lining,
In every moment,
And love will find me.
