My Life 01:45
This is my life these are my views I won't apologize to you I've made mistakes I've fucked up too and all I know is all I know is I won't blame it on my drug abuse This is my life these are my views I won't apologize to you I've I made mistakes I've fucked up too all I know is all I know is I can't blame it on my drug abuse My actions speak louder than my past *these are my choices* My actions speak louder than my past *these are my choices* In all these years I've swung and missed I've lost a few and had big wins I've done lots of everything and all I know is all I know is I won't blame it on my parenting My actions speak louder than my past *these are my choices* My actions speak louder than my past *these are my choices* Don't let the actions of others dictate how you live your life

You come to me for help I do the best I can I'm not a therapist I'm considered just a friend Your honesty effects the answers you receive I can only help the willing this is clear to see I'm at the end of my rope maybe you should try and trust consider this a wake up call and my last courtesy flush I sit here once again my ears open to your life You think you'd want things fixed but you just want to gripe A friend you are to me but you're stealing all my breath You cut yourself for attention I still give my best I'm at the end of my rope maybe you should try and trust consider this a wake up call and my last courtesy flush Now lurking in the distance you hate me in your mind Self discipline to heal a choice you make inside no one can help you out if you don't want it fixed to help you out again a decision I'm betwixt I'm at the end of my rope maybe you should try and trust consider this a wake up call and my last courtesy flush

K.I.T.Y. 01:58
You can keep your religion so please don't bother me. I don't need your ideals and I don't want your beliefs. I'm glad that you have something a thought that's yours to keep. But please don't suffocate me I'm not a fucking sheep. Keep it to yourself I'll ask you if I wanna know. Keep it to yourself Your true colors begin to show. It's hard for me to grasp the concept I'm a man of truth. I can't believe my mind would change without any proof I know some use it as a reason to get through the day If that crutch were to break then what would you say? Keep it to yourself I'll ask you if I wanna know Keep it to yourself Your true colors begin to show preach to me about an ark and parting of the seas from judgement days to virgin births and an apple tree this sounds like a nursery rhyme or some fairy tales but the little pigs defeat the wolf and your hero hangs on nails Keep it to yourself I'll ask you if I wanna know Keep it to yourself Your true colors begin to show

So if the thought that I'm here is because of what I did Then what about the things that I wish I had hid Like making out with what's her face underneath that bridge or going to that party with all those stupid kids All n all I'm glad I'm here I wouldn't want it to change so to the kids that I once knew I guess this is I guess this is my thanks now what about the things I didn't get to do is that the reason why I'm sitting her with you like spending more time with Ryan W. this was a tough choice but one I didn't lose All n all I'm glad I'm here I wouldn't want it to change so to the kids that I once knew I guess this is I guess this is my thanks The choices that were made brought me here today but what about the things I didn't get to say not everything that I did ended up that great if you want to see whats next I guess you'll have to wait

He 02:34
So you wanna just be friends you don't wanna hold this hand and I don't wanna see you with another boy I thought you were everything right we couldn't make it through this fight why would you wanna break my heart like this I knew we would never make it through you knew that we would never see it through and even after knowing that it feels just like my pulse went flat Now we have both moved on my heart and mind are too far gone and I don't know why I still ever think of you This girl, she's not my type Only here to add some light and I don't know that I can ever love again I knew that we would never make it through you knew that we would never see it through and even knowing that you still smashed my heart with a baseball bat

Sly 01:36
Dear Tony, Growing up you were right there through thick and thin. The perfect words at the perfect time from just above your chin. I know you didn't know me, but you influenced me so much. Listening to you was the one thing I could trust. So many tributes so many songs written just for you. So many friends left behind so many people believed your truths. Some of them got sober. And Some a different route. This is my song for you signing off over and out. Although we never met, I knew you well. Your heart poured into the words that you chose to tell Some friends and I went to see you live a night we wish didn't end. Now you have another fan one who calls you a friend. So many tributes so many songs written just for you. So many friends left behind so many people believed your truths. Some of them got sober. And Some a different route. This is my song for you signing off over and out. Everyone has a hero or someone they love. But not everyone's hero is looking from above. by above I mean the stage where you did your best So goodbye Tony you're always in my chest.

I am here at the top of this highrise again cloud 9 is so close but I can't breath it in the choices I've made have put me right here nothing else is around except falling tears it's sadness that builds from a fear to talk contemplate my life or just take the fall it's sadness that builds from no one listening If anyone cared then why am I missing take the stairs to the ground for my personal hell just a facade to the world can't you tell thought pattern is off I am so disconnected life isn't easy I am constantly tested I am up here all alone I am up here all alone and I just want you near me I am up here all alone I am up here all alone I am up here all alone and I know you can't hear me I am up here all alone I am up here all alone I am up here all alone.......... I AM UP HERE ALL ALONE

Mad 01:54
Why can't I wake up and not worry how my days going to go I get so tired of all the things that I don't know Suicides an option for me what about the ones who care another thought pops in my head I really think this isn't fair I've become a distraction keeping me from my action Clearly in the wrong faction I just want satisfaction I've become a distraction keeping me from my action Clearly in the wrong faction I just want satisfaction I am self destructive there's a funny farm with my name on it My fortress of solitude has become the same place that I shit another day I wake up and my worries start all over I'll waste it all away wishing on a four leave clover I've become a distraction keeping me from my action Clearly in the wrong faction I just want satisfaction I've become a distraction keeping me from my action Clearly in the wrong faction I just want satisfaction

My world collapses around me I don't have the answers The problem is me But I'll blame all these assholes The lies that I spit just add to the resistance yeahhhh.... This is my life I only get one change to make it Don't waste your breath the truth is always best I see that I'm falling I can't seem to get out This path that I'm on might not be the right route The choices I make are unclear and confusing yeahhhh... This is my life I only get one change to make it Don't waste your breath the truth us always best I pretend that I care when you think that I don't You'll that I'm learning and you know that I won't So I sit here in this solitary confinement yeahhhhh...... This is my life I only get one change to make it Don't waste your breath the truth us always best This is my life I only get one change to make it Don't waste your breath the truth us always best

Where did all the punk kids go they used to put on quite a show making everyone believe that they didn't give a shit And where have all the hippies gone they use to think so hard and long about the earth and what it takes to make it a good place The cities that we live in are fucked and full of sin the government's not helping they're in it to win if you want to make a difference do it by all means the world is too damn busy to listen to your screams What happened to the young black man who hated everyone and all the silly white kids who went out and bought guns and what's wrong with the parenting the kids don't care one god damn bit the schools don't seem to educate their growing up too late The cities that we live in are fucked and full of sin the government's not helping they're in it to win if you want to make a difference do it by all means the world is too damn busy to listen to your screams

Sitting around watching the clock the post mans out making all of his stops I've been out of school since 3:15 Now where is this guy with my magazines With a bag of goods he walks to my door the gift that he brings can rid my bore up the steps right from the yard the mailman gets me hard This used to be the case for me but now I walk past my PC a sudden urge between my thighs makes my pecker start to rise PC or MAC it doesn't matter either one will make it splatter Whole wide world at my fingertips jerking off my dick Nothing to do when nobody's home 30 seconds and a cell phone technology's changed but my needs the same this little baby puts them all to shame In my pocket everyday this device will end the crave a very hand 6 inch view and vibrates so I don't need you

We live in society who's more afraid of zombies than the government who's raping everyone We are multicultural but yet we're not afraid of war we flaunt it by waving all these flags Don't believe everything you read social media corporate sleaze magazines and on the TV It'll just segregate bring you down and make you hate see for yourself don't take it from me White man strong arms everyone no wonder people carry guns its time we move far away from this Black man trying to rise above but when it comes to push and shove no one will ever get where they need Don't believe everything you read social media corporate sleaze magazines and on the TV It'll just segregate bring you down and make you hate see for yourself don't take it from me Queer, transgender and lesbians can't even be someone for fear of prosecution in the streets Work together help humans its simple and it makes good sense we'll progress together faster than you think And if you can't hop on this train you're clearly fucked inside the brain kill yourself and rot amongst the beasts

Let me tell you about a girl I knew she fucked me she probably fuck you she had blond hair or was it brown she lived on the center or edge of town We met at the cemetery gate we walked around but it got pretty late it's getting late it's getting late but this girl likes to fuck on the first She was short but kinda tall really fat or fairly small she used her mouth but never swore I'm not so sure what she wore We met at the cemetery gate we walked around but it got pretty late it's getting late it's getting late but this girl likes to fuck on the first She held my dick its hard to swallow I looked around and no one followed her shorts came off but to my surprise the rumors true this chicks a guy We met at the cemetery gate we walked around but it got pretty late it's getting late it's getting late but this girl likes to fuck on the first date
15.
I need some help but I'm afraid to ask I can't seem to get things in my grasp The days are hard the nights are haunting and even waking up is daunting But for you I'll do it all for you For you I'll work my fingers through But for you I'll do it all for you For you I'll work my fingers through I won't complain no it's not my style I've been here for quite a long while Holding you gives me a smiling face Really makes me appreciate my place But for you I'll do it all for you For you I'll work my fingers through But for you I'll do it all for you

I’ve got this friend, and I’m sure you know him too. I’ve tried and tried again but it's just not getting through Maybe I’m doing it wrong, it's possible I am He’s your friend too please help me out I’m doing the best I can All I can do is sing this song The words ring true please sing along You might not know the meaning yet One day you will I’ll place my bet He’s sinking in his mind, so he’s sinking in his life Trapt in his cage a prison cell we’re running out of time Help me rescue him. Why can’t you see the rush. You question why I even care you question why I fuss All I can do is sing this song The words ring true please sing along You might not know the meaning yet One day you will I’ll place my bet Just a phone call late and a conversation short I don’t need your guilty quip I don’t want your retort Now our friend is gone, A pain we all live with. You think we did the best we could but I don’t think we did

Not Dead 02:17
Those cuts do they tell a story was it dark times was it cold and gory hey baby go out with me are you afraid to be here are you afraid to leave I can see the makeup painted on your face covering up the blood beneath I'll treat you better I won't leave I'm here to love you and let you breathe did you say no did it even matter a swollen eye so scared and battered I can see the makeup painted on your face covering up the blood beneath I can see that you're I can see that you're you're dead to the world but you're not dead to me you're dead to the world but you're not dead to me you're dead to the world but you're not dead to me you're dead to the world but you're not dead to me

Stuck here Lonely I'm segregated Your love Your friendship Anticipated I'm here I try I've been secluded. I'm isolated but not because of me. I'm different and this is clear to see You fail to learn you just want to assume. So quick to judge and fast to exclude. Stuck here Lonely I'm segregated Your love Your friendship Anticipated I'm here I try I've been secluded. As humans Our value Has been eluded As humans our value Has been eluded I am who I am, I’m not entitled. And as a human, I’m not a trifle Stuck here Lonely I'm segregated Your love Your friendship Anticipated I'm here I try I've been secluded. The pain is real it's buried in my eyes. You won't know this but it'll be here till I die I'm just like you with different clothes I'm just like you with different shoes. I'm just like you with different thoughts I'm just like you with different views.
