I’m looking at you now You’re laughable at best Covered in your stench from last night Desperate to always make your self right The walls that I built just to keep you away never held much ground Because you're always trying to pillage me The things that I felt then, never seem to escape I would rather be asleep than Rolling around in your stained sheets Hoping that you spend your nights unwanted and alone It’s stupid for me to think that you’d miss me You missed the attention I just wanted someone to listen It’s all I ever needed I always felt defeated I knew that I couldn’t hold myself to this Knowing that you’re out there visiting his bed Banging your head on the head board Wishing that my name would slip from your mouth again What do these days mean to me? While I’m still waiting to feel better with time How long do you think that it’ll take For me to forget your face For me to forget your face I would rather be asleep than rolling around in your stained sheets Hoping that you spend your nights unwanted and alone It’s stupid for me to think that you’d miss me You missed the attention I just wanted someone to listen I will end up okay, despite all the things that you’d say. One day we will be civil and I won’t be destroying everything that you ever gave to me I swear that this is, my final act to tell you, that I still hate you

Ashes 03:14
You should have known that I would see it through That I would make this all fall back to you And I don’t feel Fucking sorry I was holding on for so damn long You used to pull me down Give me false hope You’re just an empty vessel Your mistakes we’re cheap I picked up your ashes off the ground last night And tried to dispose of this mess that you made for me Now that we’re washing away, with these memories’ I made I feel this weight off my shoulders The time has come I made amends Now i’m finally able to be myself again The pressure there once was, I suffered for reason I used your face as a stepping-stone to the greater things I hope I’ll see you again; so you can say you were wrong, just tell me you were wrong I picked up your ashes off the ground last night And tried to dispose of this mess that you made for me Now that we’re washing away, with the memories I made I feel this weight off my shoulders Every time I said I cared, you looked and rolled your eyes All the times we ever fucked you said this couldn’t be better But you’re just a liar (you’re just a liar) I hope you’re happy on your knees Cause that’s all you’ll ever be I picked up your ashes off the ground last night And tried to dispose of this mess that you made for me Now that we’re washing away, with the memory’s I made I feel this weight off my shoulders

Kingston 01:57
You told me one day that I’d stop, hating who I am But all I feel is alone and cold Broken down and stoned Back when you gave Randi cigarettes I was fucking stupid then And now one drink slowly turns into ten Stumbling Home I’m Looking for your Jeep Too drunk to pick up my feet A Sad Song about you again I guess leaving was the best for you But having you around I think id be happy too But I’m Still Thinking about you 4 years later Dreaming that you came home And we have been painting this picture for so long I guess you forgot to sketch me in I guess you forgot to call I guess that you didn’t remember at all I guess that we can blame it on those nights at the bar I guess Kingston now is just too far Ill sit here pretending, that I’m worth remembering At least I remember you And this is the last song that Ill write about you At least I’m going to Fucking remember you

Slowly eating away, this empty feeling you left inside Like any sickness, there is a cure. But with no temptations I’m left unmoved Breathing In I tried to hide but you would find me every time You’re in a drunken spin you’re all over him It was cold outside, you said that you’d be fine Then he closed your eyes I’m Sorry I can’t find the time To put in the places I left behind Confusion, what you said to me That night in the rain Won’t make things change You fooled me once, it cut right through my skin Now I’m bleeding out, oh where have you been The nights downstairs, spent in your room Do they get to you, Next to god knows who Id like you to know My life didn’t end I may have spent many nights Trying to pretend How good this was for me But knowing all to well Ill never be the same Thanks to your fucking mistake I’m Sorry I can’t find the time To put in the places I left behind Confusion, what you said to me That night in the rain Wont make things change As we walked towards the road We started getting close We talked about the past And why it failed to last And now you admit its true It was all about you But it was all about you I’m Sorry I can’t find the time To put in the places I left behind Confusion, what you said to me That night in the rain Wont make things change
