If I left this world today

If I left this world today
To find where my ancestors lay
How long would you remember me?
Would I be there with you every day?
Would you think of me as your life slipped away?
Or would the memories fade
As they often do
Until I became just another stranger
You passed on a path you once walked

I scare the life out of you

I scare the life out of you
You run for the hills when I get too close
We are the same shade of gray
And that makes you say
Hey
Get me somewhere safe
Take me out of this place
Into the arms
Of a boy you don't love
Because he's a boy you can leave
You sapped the life from me
Like a bucket on a maple tree
In the breeze we both sway
And that's what makes me say
Hey
Get me somewhere safe
Get me the fuck out of this place
Youre in the arms
Of a boy you don't love
He's just that easy to leave

Out with the trash

I'm making room in my mind
You've taken too much space and time
Going through the boxes
Throwing shit away
Getting rid of memories
Good and bad it's cleaning day
And you're out with the trash
My heart is still cluttered
With all the words you uttered
All the sweet nothings
All the lies you told
Put them in the driveway
And if they dont get sold
Youre out with the trash
Cleaning out my life now
Nothing here is a sacred cow
Don't want no one
That don't want me
Opening the windows
Time to be free
You're out with the trash

A junkies scars are not always seen

A junkies scars are not always seen
Like the ones on the arm
They're in the brain
Full of distrust
And self importance
You've been beat and burned
So many times
You expect it from everyone
You meet
Can't be satisfied
With being satisfied
You've got to throw that wrench
In the machine

The hole you left behind

The hole you left behind
Expands in my chest
Consumes my mind
With memories
Spins me around
Leaves me lost
Stumbling through life
Without a friend
To share my every thought
And you will feel the same
When you're old and gray
And youth has left you
Alone
And you will think of me

Slowly you slip from my mind

Slowly you slip from my mind
I don't wonder where you've been
Or what you feel
Just another memory
That will soon be erased
I didn't think there would be
Life after you
But the sun still rises
Every day
And I go on living
And the emptiness
Will soon be filled

It's all or nothing with me baby

It's all or nothing with me baby
I gave it all to you
You gave me nothing
Your empty words echo
In an empty heart
You cast the die
Made up your mind
To leave me in the dark
To sit alone and cry
You've mastered the art
Of passing the blame
Of course it's not on you
I snuffed the flame
All you have to do
Is keep up the old refrain
Oh baby, nothings changed
Damn right
Still playing games
hope you sleep well
in your house of lies
I know you do
I can see it in your eyes
