So many things we forget say to the ones we love
Until it’s too late and our words are lost
I won’t allow myself to be the victim of a callous institution that pumps cold blood
Please know at this moment how much I love you
I get sick when I think of a world without you
We can mean anything to someone, but you mean everything to me
Can’t stand the thought
Of a world without you
I know this sounds awful but it’s true
If one of us has to go first
I hope I die before you do

Righteous indignation amounts to thinly veiled contempt
Your heart’s not as big as you think
Fabricated virtue comes from misdirected shame
Your heart’s not as big as you think
Keep telling yourself it’s all true
Let your arrogance confirm your views
While you tear down everyone around you
Never let your insecurities show
Just sit atop your pedestal

You bare bloodstained teeth
Crimson from the countless times you've bitten your tongue
Fragile
Frail
Weak
The words you spit tear down defenses, go off like a bomb
You tear me apart
Now with my confidence off and my self respect shattered (break)
I'll try to pick up the pieces form off of the floor

Living With Ghosts
Well I can't sleep
Unwelcome thoughts of you out holes in all my dreams
Panic sits inside my chest so I can't breathe
Your name becomes the only word I speak
I hate what it's done to me
I'm still living with these thoughts
I'm still living with you words
And it's fucking eating me alive
And it persists
A throbbing ache built up by pain and bitterness
And in the end it's all just fucking meaningless
I still let it take control, I don't resist
I hate that I'm doing this
Consumed by vapor, ink, and lead
Unending conflict with the dead
No sighted exit
No release
Just let me rest, just give me peace

I check the paper everyday
still haven't come across your name
the 30 words or less
that sum up your significance
I still think back to sunny days
perhaps my fondest memory of you
is when you looked at her to say
"when you get older you forget
I'll do my best to keep you dear
but if I slip please understand
when you get older you forget
but that doesn't change what you meant"
The promise that I never kept
was one I made and never meant
you try to escape registration
while I struggle with visitation
I haven't seen you in four years
it's due to cowardice and fear
that when I show up you won't be there
"when you get older you forget
I'll do my best to keep you dear
but if I slip please understand
when you get older you forget
but that doesn't change what you meant"
...but I won't forget

Vision blurred from constant reassurance
you can’t see the world around you changing
they pin you and go through your pockets
but you’re happy so you won’t say a thing
boy born without consequence and when it all falls apart you find yourself in another sunshine state
and yet you act as though it all comes back to haunt you at the worst sort of time in the worst kind of way
But you know
I’m here for you
Don’t worry
Just call me
You don’t have to spend
The whole night sleeping in the rain
