it’s time to go back home
the lights are getting dim
everyone we’ve lost
has come back home again
the things we can’t forget
have taken over control
joy riding with this pain
is something i can hold
i can’t go back in time
and fix all of these holes
and so they keep on haunting
however long i go
“i will be there for you”

Into the Darkness

standing, broken
by the wind
i guess we found
how we will end
i was there
by your side
but we could not
take things in stride
looking back it was too hard
we couldn't get through this
don't take my hand
i need it for the fight
step into the darkness
and out of the light
we made our stand
now we fade into the night
into the darkness
step out of the light

Tomorrow

and in the morning
shame is all i heard
wasn’t sure which brain I had
the lizard or the bird
and in those moments
death is all i see
it takes it’s toll, i am stuck in
the distance in between
it can wait til tomorrow
i promise that I’ll tell you then
it can wait for tomorrow
it won’t make a difference anyway
and in the evening
guilt is all I felt
it leaves a bitter taste
reminds of me my health
the wall i keep so guarded
has now become my hell
talking may be breaking
but it sure don’t feel well
It can wait til tomorrow
lI promise that I’ll tell you then
it can wait for tomorrow
it won’t make a difference anyway

Eddie
You break my heart
every time your teeth break into my skin
Oh Ed, I can't tell if you still love me
or you want me dead

We All Fall Apart

deny my grace
still filled with burden
take these old hands
before they’re hurting
the daily aches
of getting old
trying to accomplish
before I’m cold
the toll is heavy
the toll is large
can’t be avoided
there’s no one else in charge
she says,
don’t you worry
this is only a start
and after all
we all fall apart
i hide my face
behind a curtain
it leaves a stain
of this I’m certain
hide the wrinkles
hide the grey
before my reflection
gives me away
the weight is heavy
the load is large
boat is off course
no ones in charge
she says,
don’t be afraid
I know you’re smart
and after all
we all fall part
so lift me up
quiet this mind
take what you want
we’ll leave the rest behind
there are no winners
we’re all last place
just a glimmer of a speck
on a dot in space
our worth is nothing
we are but dust
where did we go wrong
and lose the trust
she says,
nothings lost
it’s been there from the start
and after all
we all fall apart
so call my mother
I’m coming home
spit shine the silver
and dust the throne
get out the vacuum
and look alive
it has to be perfect
before I arrive
those are her words
those aren’t mine
a dirty house
would be just fine
she says,
sometimes we all
have to play our part
and after all
we all fall apart
once again
this time with feeling
i plead my case
up to the ceiling
i speak in vain
i curse and swear
at the mental toll
we have to bear
the head is heavy
the heart is weak
there are days
were I can’t speak
she says,
take my hand
my counterpart
and after all
we all fall apart
so here I sit
empty of grace
still feel a burden
in every place
the daily struggle
of staying sane
has reached my throat
it knows my name
the pain is heavy
the body wrecked
nothing left
to connect
she says,
it’ll be okay
you’re strong in heart
and after all
we all fall apart

Dark Side of Ghosts

I hear you’re feeling sad
here try a couple of pills
if they don’t work, don’t worry
the next ones will
spent 20 years in pharmacies
to find my self
but i never did
another victim of mental health
breathe in, breathe out
breathe in, breathe out
every morning brings another kind of day
sometimes the good ones can keep the bad away
i’m just trying to find an ounce of peace
before the night I eventually pass in my sleep
these drugs didn’t work for
my sister or my mom
but they might work for me
so we’ll try them all
I’ve become so adept
at hiding out and lying
cuz every day the anxiety
makes me feel like I am dying
breathe in, breatheout,
breathe in, breathe out
every morning brings another kind of day
sometimes the good ones can keep the bad away
i’m just trying to find an ounce of peace
before the night I eventually pass in my sleep
the only fault for the darkness is mine
i was born with a broken fucked up mind
living through each failure has
become my hell
the dark side of ghosts
have fit me well
every morning brings another kind of day
sometimes the bad ones keep the good at bay
i hope to find some peace before i drown
the dark side of ghosts keeps bringing me down
breathe in, breathe out
