Beginning of the End

And so, lost in his thoughts Of all the ammunition used in the war he's fought With weapons of words, he can't undo He tried so hard, just to be cool But things were said, and promises made When it comes to emotions it's never a game But this isn't like anything that's happened before No, this time, this is something more A conquest started, a whole war lost It seems like nothing, but what's the cost? To think some rivalry caused a bitter end And this is how, to lose a friend Anger in the purest form And hatred sticking into the heart, like a thorn Or a twisted knife, you can't pull out No amount of "sorry's" can reverse that now But things were great, before we started to tear Now the future's only promise is up in the air Feelings trailing after like a menacing cloud Of everything you regret when your mind wasn't sound You know if I could, I'd do it all again I'd never say those terrible things that I said to you Then I wouldn't be in this mess Of words spewed in anger, but I must confess That a conquest was started, but the war was lost It seems like nothing now, but think of the cost Now look what's happened, what's met its' end It's sad to say, such a price to pay, to lose a friend.

The sun shines high and bright in the sky See the impossible, but we might as well try We have all this time, for which our actions show But something seems wrong, this is something I've never known, but we let it go Time passes in a blur and a haze Spend our lives living inside of a daze And as we go through the days, and the ending draws near We know in the back of our minds, we have nothing to fear The hot asphalt burns our bare feet Watch the cars pass by as we run around in the street But the alarm rings and the vista vanishes You thought you had it all, but it was just a painful guess of what it'd be like when Taken away It was never meant to stay Try again for another pass But you know it's something I'll never have Time passes in a blur and a haze Spend my life, running inside of a maze And as I wait for sleep I have everything I hold dear And I know in the back of my mind, I have everything to fear But nothing to lose.

Push & Pull 03:51
Walk on in Try to see through the maze, attempt to wade through the maze Exposed skin Drunk girls losing their minds, like they've got nothing to hide All on a whim Grab a drink, set it down, leave it uncovered for now Someone walks up behind you, they're beside you Taking you for a fool The world's spinning at a faster pace, but You know inside is the special place, where This is all acceptable It's all just push and pull Take a sip of the drink Piece together the night, too hard to think Talk to a girl She's got a nice smile, she makes your head twirl Take it outside All the scenes blur together, losing track of the time The feeling of false love is in the air, But you know you're letting loose tonight, too high to care Look back in such despair, at The life you had, now it's up in the air, you are Feeling bad because you made a mistake, you were Thinking with your heart but not with your brain, but now The world's spinning at a faster pace, and You know inside, that this is the special place where This is all perfectly acceptable It all starts here with the push and pull of the doors.

The cold air bites at uncovered skin And there seems to be only me in the space I'm living in The street lights flicker as the cars drive by The reality of all of this is wrapped in a lie The lack of feelings that exist in your eyes It's nothing to worry about Because the stars are all ablaze tonight And the emptiness of everything fills the sky With snow on the ground Nothing makes a sound I'm alone on New Year's Day An annual celebration of the times ahead A newly-found reminder of the things that went unsaid I stand alone in the barren street Devoid of life, or the living to meet In a world gone dark, all the memories are on repeat Now the sun comes up and illuminates the land below A sure sign that life will start and begin to grow But I remain in my accustomed state It seems that all of this has become my fate And I realize I've made a great mistake But it's already too late The stars are all ablaze tonight And the emptiness of everything fills the sky With snow on the ground, nothing makes a sound I'm alone on New Year's Day It's New Year's Day.

Reflections 03:46
I'd gladly burden my life To see that you got some rest, and some peace, from your strife Just to help you feel comfortable again To make you see that all of this is so much more than losing a friend If I could Take away the pain you feel so you won't harm yourself Or jump under the bus, or give you all of my wealth If I could do anything, I would give you some help Because I love you too much, to let you go and watch as you fell I've lived without you for some period of time But I can't imagine an existence when you're not here by my side I wish there were some way that I could get through to you That I'm never far, and the ears you trust are always too few But I can't escape this fear That someday you won't be here And that we're nearing the bottom, of this steady decline And that we've passed all the warning signs When you look in the mirror, is that all you can see? A reflection of everything that you're starting to be? But if you look really close, do you ever see me? We know all the rules, and we know all the signs We know the ways that we can both step over the lines You mean so much to me, and it pains me to see The culmination of the suffering and all the ways you believe When you look in the mirror, is that all you can see? A reflection of everything that you're starting to be? But if you look really close, do you ever see me? Do you ever see me?

Breath 02:46
Always tired all the time Crawling up this steep incline This body aches, with familiar shakes Of a sickness benign My eyes will quiver in my head And my breath runs hot with words unsaid And my stomach turns, when I learn About everything you do instead Take a pill, down a shot of hope Attempt to find another way to help me cope And I'm always prone to being alone And I'm falling down this slope Cold sweats in the dead of night Illuminated truths in the pale moonlight Of secrets spread from his bed Of sickness and insight But my eyes quiver with some hidden dread My breath runs hot with words unsaid And my stomach turns, when will I learn That everything you always do is all in my head I'll never be the person that you want me to be You'll always be swimming in someone else's sea But if the time's alright, and you're lonely tonight I can tell you what it's like to be empty This headache will not go away Rational thought is lead astray This fever courses through my brain Makes tough the tasks of the mundane And as I suffer I begin to see There's never a refrain I'll never be the person that you want me to be You'll always be swimming in someone else's sea But if the time's alright, and you're lonely tonight I can tell you what it's like to be empty.
