DEMOS

The ringing in my ear is fading, and the feeling in my feet degrading. How can I choose to leave this place? Because I'll forget who I am, forget the pain that got me here. I can’t do that again, cause it all fades over the years. The scarring on my arm is healing, but there’s something in my heart that’s searing. Everything I have has become everything I hate. I need you here, but not to speak. Did you feel it when the sweat dripped from the ceiling, the shirt stuck to my back? I will not forget that feeling; it’s what it takes to bring me back. All these years, all these shows; have stuck with me, become what I know. Despite the tears and the fatal blows, I’ve learned that they haunt me like a ghost; these distant melodies and melodic memories. There’s a feeling in my gut like falling, and thousand young lungs are calling "We have become one, and we will die under the Sun.” This is who I am, although there’s pain throughout the years. I would do it all again; It’s all the shit that got me here. All the clouding of my mind is clearing. All the rage behind these eyes is searing. Everything out there has become everything I hate. I need you here, but not to speak. I know you feel it when the noise we made was piercing, the shirts stuck to our backs. How could I forget that feeling? It’s not the heart that’s what I lack. All these beers, all these shows; they stuck with me, nobody could know. My greatest fears, and biggest foes; they stay outside when I’m at the show. Melodies, Memories.

Why are we living life this way, with all this shit we can’t afford? It doesn’t belong to us anyway Incinerate all the shit we hate That body was an accident Byproduct of a larger plan The damage was collateral Let’s self destruct and get far away from here When I think about life, I'm not sure if we’ve lived a day at all But now that I’m free of my tv screen,the feeling returned to my limbs It's amazing how comfortable we are in our own skin, this day in age So please hold my hand here as we help bring in the fall

Life there's a funny thing about it no easy way around it we're forced to interact with these people who see no problem with the way they act I need to rise above it I cant put up with bullshit and i need to look at myself with as much criticism as everyone else you'll be no burden on me ignorance wont be received and on the day I die I know right now I wont regret a single thing and if you think I'll waste my time on anything you might say, you are dead wrong I will live stress free I made up my mind you'll be no burden on me

we would fly through the night with blood stains on our hands and not a goddamned fucking cop could ever find us on these lands in the darkness we would thrive we'd be grinning ear to ear knowing unholiest of demons had nothing on our career and in the shadows was where we lived and we would kill and we were kids and with these weapons in our hands its in the shadows where we hid and we'd raise hell thats where we lived darker than the darkest fucking corner of the night our souls were made of blood and ash, and we're out of our fucking minds we would thrive on pain and booze but somewhere far along the way the mix of booze and memories cant keep all these demons at bay and in the shadows thats where we lived and we would chase the fucking ghosts and we were fearless fucking kids and with these skateboards in our hands we'd walk the shadows where we hid living in hell and fucking pissed
5.
All thoughts of suicide subsided as the bullet hit my brain And for a fraction of a second, beams of sunlight caught my eye and killed my pain Just as suddenly I threw away that gun, as if someone else were guiding me to undo what I’d done they took my demons and threw them into the sun, second chances don’t come often to this earth I now belong With this new sense of purpose I walked out the door and realized I could fly so I flew up to the heavens feeling like I was the only man alive A sense of sadness and relief washed over me, as I came to understand just what it meant to be free I was alone, but felt no sense of urgency, so this is what its fucking like just to no longer be

This is my wake These are my mistakes A preface to the magnitude of everlasting fate Please don't think that i have lost my lust for life This story's mine to tell, and I will write it down (tonight) This endless stream of consciousness It all began when I was young, from that moment on I was determined not to fall asleep again I'll open my eyes with every new day And I wont stop until I find my way Out on the open seas, this vessel makes waves The ocean swells more beautifully (today) Under this mighty ship i built I'm refusing to turn back, the plan of attack Is let my pride take me as far as I can go We'll weather the storm And when my ship crash lands It will take all I have to incinerate, in fear i may fade I will burn out brighter than the sun And at my wake, I need you to know Each step I take, I calculate But I follow no map today With no courage to demonstrate Beginning to end From Wake to Wake I know these eyes will never break And when the end is all I have I will hold it to my chest No sign of regret I'll whisper one last time the phrase that got me to this place This Is My Wake
