So tell me, are you okay?
Every time you call me
You sound so uneasy
What is it you’re hiding
So tell me are you okay?
Every time you saw me
You looked so uneasy
What is it you’re hiding

It makes me wonder how
I ever got around
I felt like slowing down until I stopped
It makes me wonder why
I ever stopped to try
I felt like giving up each time

So what is it, should I say
Failure’s following me
Until I give up on it
I feel like I’ve fallen down
Ill at ease, it’s not so easy
Desperation’s daunting
Hidden in the back rooms
Empty void, a vacuum

It makes me wonder how
I ever got around
I felt like slowing down until I stopped
It makes me wonder why
I ever stopped to try
I felt like giving up each time

I don't have a title for this one. Too tired to come up with anything at the moment.

Recently, it seems to be that I’ve been spacing out a lot
Traversing time in a straight line, witnessing this loss
Wandering through hopeless thoughts that one day I’ll be gone
Acceptance of the thing I feared the most has hit me hard
And I’m on the ground, trying to stand
But I’m stuck between these rocks and it seems I won’t get out
No matter what I try, it seems I'll fail and fall again
I hesitate to turn my head, but still I walk away

And its days like these from thoughts I suffer that I try to stray
The problems, often subtle, never really go away
Years of problem solving, still spent solving, still I face
Sinking into shadows, emptiness, and comfort zones
Slipping from this grasp I’ve held on truths I haven’t told
Routine and repetition seem to keep pulling me back
The haunting beauty, gone, is now a silent empty space

Books that, once, I’d written in
On empty pages, worn, torn down, and thin
Aging without grace or style, the ripples turn to waves
Eventually as they calm down, they stop, the rest, they sleep
And I’m sleeping on these words tonight
Trapped beneath the sheets of ice
Waiting on the darkest nights to bow out of this race
Waiting as they pass me by so i don't have to face them...

Here's my shitty tribute to The Riot Before (RIP)

They were pretty much my favorite band. Glad Brett will still be writing music. Doesn't make the breakup suck any less, but as long as he keeps making music, I'll be fine!

I’ve been holding on
To everything that you were and everything that you are
Gutted by the news, but not left in the dark
Your departure was expected but it hit me pretty hard
I’m missing every second of every line in every song

Your words still resonate so deep within my heart
I could recite every chorus, every verse
I could relate to every word
And now you’re gone, it hurts
But I know it could be worse,
So I’ll be singing every word

“If I stood in the same spot
For a couple weeks unmoving
If I slowed down my talk
Stretched the syllables out lengthy
Could you see where I’m standing
Finally hear what I’m trying for
I’ve been wraithlike lately
I don’t want to feel like that anymore”

I like it! I especially love "There's a Sense in this Delusion"!

Thanks!!!




Here lie the answers to distorted truths
In ocean waves and a small breeze to carry through
This message in a broken bottle that’s sinking to the bottom
Fragile and oh so slightly broken apart

Here lies the broken tides
Off course and unrehearsed
Gone astray and undefined
Landmasses we will never find

Enshrined in definitions of abuse
Shrouded in mystery defined untrue
There’s a light that’s shining dimly in the sky above our heads
Quiet as the words we whispered on that day

Here lies the broken tides
Off course and unrehearsed
Gone astray and undefined
Landmasses we will never find

Formulaic Mystery



A chaotic calming silence creeps up and beyond the shallow curve
A corner sits in darkness; helpless, quiet, and concerned
A light sinks into nothingness as each bit gets consumed
And the noises it creates are deceitful and untrue

Listen close, sounds that follow guiding breeze
Fall upon my deafened ears that ignore everything
Hear the scuffling of the leaves against the dead and frozen trees
We’re on collision course heading for catastrophe

Piece by piece, the puzzle fits
Piece by piece, it finds
Dead end streets in searing pain
Our agony entwined

And it's clouding our judgment, it's clouding what can and can't be true
It's a separate concept of life and the world that we view
Is it the right or the wrong one? What is it answering to?
Black and white, just two-sided, we're far too narrow minded to ever know the truth

Sitting in the background is a letter still unknown
A formulaic message lunged into defeat
Fragile, such a work of art, is stuck being preserved
By nothing but the weather that has withered what we were
And we’re nothing, but we’re who we are and who we want to be

You write fucking cool songs.
How do you imagine them being played?

I imagine metal, lol.

Haha, I could see where they could be metal, but the music I write is far from it xD
I actually play a bit of a pop-punk style for some/most of them (if it could be considered that)

This is all pretty good.

What Time Couldn't Take Away (I Tried To Keep To Myself)

Into the depths I go
No sense of direction as I sink so low
No light can penetrate these walls
Walking through endless empty halls

And it’s a long way out if I ever want to leave
Running quickly, I fall, it’s hard to breathe
The light escapes my narrow line of sight
Holding out until my brain begins to slide out of my head

Endure the pain I know
Will kill me if I try to stray from home
Timeless consumes perceptive thoughts
Entranced by objective default

And it’s a long way out if I ever want to leave
Running quickly, I fall, it’s hard to breathe
The light escapes my narrow line of sight
Holding out until my brain begins to slide out of my head

Perception isn’t easy
When time has captured me
And locked me away from the
Rest of the world I understand
Destroyed and put inside of a box
The universal truth upheld
That I don’t know if I will survive
Or end up dead and unforeseen

Life Gets Better

She hears the harsh words echo in her head all day long
New insults added as she sits in school alone
She's got no one to talk to and the kids push her around
Her tears begin to fall silently crashing to the ground
Her misery apparent, is still going ignored by everyone that sees her face
Her scars from her home-life remind her of the pain she always feels
And her father committed suicide when she was very young
"God, why did you take my dad away?
He was the only one in my life that didn't cause me pain.
Every night I cry myself to sleep and wish and pray
Father, why'd you have to go, why couldn't it have been me?
This life is miserable, it isn't worth living.
My attempts at suicide were interrupted and incomplete.
Why'd you take my father but you didn't take me?"

It gets better, once you move out on your own
The kids will grow up and they'll leave you alone
You'll find a reason that's worth living for
Just remember that you're not alone
So many people suffer from similar issues and they know
They know just how you feel
And we'll love and accept you any time you need our help
Please don't kill yourself, we love you more than you could know

-----------------------------

I've written about suicide in one form or another before. There have been times I've thought about it, but never times I've seriously considered. I'm lucky to have a healthy mindset. I've watched people fall into depression, I've been depressed, I've been bullied, and I've even been dumb enough to bully other kids because of it. I was miserable and being bullied, and to try to fit in, I'd be just as viscous as other kids were. I wish I hadn't been, because I knew exactly how it felt, but at the same time did it (not very often, but even ONCE is TOO MUCH.) Words can hurt like hell. I was lucky enough to have a family that was willing to help. My mother tried her hardest to help me through it, she tried to get the school involved, but they gave up on me and practically forced me to quit school. My teens were unfortunate years for me, but so many people have had it and do have it worse. It hurts me to see these kids in pain. I want nothing but to help them and make them smile, nothing would make me happier. Sometimes I cry thinking about how miserable I was, and how miserable they probably are. Depression is an issue very near to me, in turn making suicide something that is also very near to me. If you're being bullied, I want you to know that even if you don't think anybody cares, SOMEBODY, SOMEWHERE cares about you. I care about you. Please, don't do anything drastic. Life may seem tough now, but killing yourself is never worth it. Get help, for your sake. Life is worth it. IT GETS BETTER <3

Sorry if this was all written horribly, it's 4:42 AM and I'm running on absolutely no sleep. It's the message that matters, please forgive anything that doesn't make sense. Forgive my grammar and spelling errors. Again, I'm tired.
