The Need To Leave

Have you ever felt trapped inside, your own home town?
Have you ever felt the need, to leave it all behind?
Have you grown tired of walking the same streets?
Been chased by ghosts for too long!
And it seems impossible to move on and change.
When everything reminds me of old failures and regrets.
Have you ever felt the need, to leave it all behind?
Get the fuck out of, your home town?
The same old woman on her knees begging for change.
Same old alcoholics pacing outside of the liquor store,
This city I love has turned me on to a cynic outlook on life.
So for now I say goodbye.

There's Nothing

Don't leave me alone.
With my thoughts
I know they will tear me up
Eat me up
'till there's nothing
'till I'm on my knees
screaming!
I swear there are times I just want it to end.
But it never ceases.
I find myself thinking that I'll do anything,
to ease the pain!
I fear I'll long for the silence in the end.
For it to be silent as the grave.

Whatever Would I Do?

Whatever would I do without you?
I know I can be somewhat of a mess,
But you never seem to waver,
When I need to get out my shit!
Always been there to watch my back
All these year of a childhood that never been that tough,
but have gotten pretty rough.
No time for fair-weather friends
Who just leaves in the end
When I got you standing behind me!
Always seen to that head I got my head on my shoulders and the world under my feet.
But never kept from falling in love with dreams.
All these year of a childhood that never been all that tough,
but have gotten pretty rough.
I know time will pass and you'll see less and less of me.
But I'll never forget, who taught me to stand on my own two feet!

Take a good hard look in that reflection you see.
Is this really the person you want to be?
Maybe it's time for you, to start things over.
Cause bitterness is starting to agree with you.
I don't mean it makes you look good.
It is starting to define you.
Take a good hard look in that reflection you see.
Is this really the person you want to be?
Someone who has given up hope and settled with regret and anxiety.
Keep on living
Keep on breathing
Don't dig deeper down in your misery,
Cause there is nothing else there to find but pain!

So is this the time,
Is it now?
That you're going to turn it around?
So is this the time,
Is it now?
That you're going to start leading a happy life?
Well I've heard you say it all before.
So you'll have to excuse my doubt.
I've seen before that you can so easily.
Fail and fall down on your knees!
I stare into your eyes and see
Nothing but frustration and rage
A bitterness that is feasting on your flesh
But I beg you.
Prove me wrong.
Make me eat up these words.
But I beg you.
Prove me wrong.
Show me that you've changed!
You got nothing to lose.
But your anxiety.
Stop being your own worst enemy.
I mean it this time!
It is now!
I will turn things around!
Start leading a happy life!
