I hang my head/ And abandon all optimism that I once had/ And I view the world much differently than I ever did/ I just see life for what it really is/ And I don't think I'm making any true progress/ I don't try to better how I felt/ I've never asked for help/ I just stay at home feeling sorry for myself/ I don't know why I get this way/ I've got friends and a loving family/ But I pretend that they're gone/ Then I wonder why I feel alone/ I've never understood how someone could just take their own life/ But now I think of that act every waking moment of mine/ I'm not saying I would do the same/ I just feel empathy/ For I now know apathy/ Because it envelops me/ Dear friend you've opened my eyes/ To the darker side of life/ And I'm not blaming you at all/ I'm just saying that without you/ I would still be naive/ I would still be happy/ But I'm not/ And I never will be/ I can never go back/ To a positive perspective on the life I live/

Zaleplon 03:51
No rest is found when I lay my body down/ Yet day after day I sleep the light away/ And I know it sounds like I've brought this on myself/ But even when I'm awake I just search for an escape/ I wish it was a little easier/ To just give up/ Albeit true "I'm just tired" is still an excuse/ Due to my sleeplessness the bags under my eyes/ Match the burdens on my back in weight and in size/ Because whether I'm awake or asleep boxing the black dog/ Is what occupies me this is how I spend my nights/ Night after night/ I'm tearing myself down/
3.
You were handed everything on a silver platter/ But not all you touch turns to gold/ And it saddens me that you think/ Your fathers money can buy you something so sincere/ But does it really have value and does it truly take heart/ Or are you just selling yourself as something you're not/ Because I can honestly say that I love what I've got/ It may not be as shiny or abundant, but it's worth as much/ I don't understand how you've pulled this off/ Somehow you've convinced nearly everyone/ But the worst part is, you had to justify this to yourself/ Where is the sweat on your brow/ Where is the dirt on your hands/ Your bloody knuckles/ Where is the crack in your heart/ If you're as true as you say/ Tell me where they are/ If you're so genuine/ Where is your proof, your scars/

On Wax 02:55
I have found the modern myth/ Discovered in the lie you call fellowship/ Thank you for showing me where I stand/ Because I now know I'm insignificant/ I hope you know you are not my friend/ After I've witnessed this one hundred times/ I should have seen it coming/ But to my genuine surprise/ I found you holding the knife/ The blade pierced my skin/ The blood ran down my back/ Brotherhood is dead/ Along with the decent man/ You're a betrayer/
5.
Loathe 04:35
Define this how you want/ I will define any ties as lost/ Honestly this comes as a relief/ I knew one day you should ruin me/ I wish you had stayed asleep/ On the steps of your back porch/ Just a few more pills/ Would have been perfect/ You twisted every word, oh so perfectly/ And I'm sure it comes, oh so naturally/ You had everyone right where you wanted them/ I wish we had never met/ I hope you feel guilt you snake/ You have caused nothing but negativity/
6.
Wichita 03:47
Your mother, your sister, your daughter/ All played an equal part/ In the breakdown that I witnessed/ In the back of the car/ I'm sorry, I didn't know what to do/ I'm sorry, I didn't know what to say to you/ But it was not your fault/ So please stop blaming yourself/ She came here on her own/ And she knows you wished you were there/ The city Wichita may remind you of your loss/ You must know your heart was in the right place for Diane/ And when the bad thoughts come, just look to your granddaughter/ For she is the memento that all life renews/ For she is the memorial of your closet friend/
