I've been dead for years but my hearts still beating
I have got a serious medical condition, I'm still breathing
There's a story written all down my arms and this needle, it is the pen
Things just seem to move in circles like addiction, depression and fear
Sometimes I can't help but to feel like I'm never going to get out of here
I don't want to leave, I want to stay, can't you see what you're doing to me?
But you don't care, you just want me to go away, just leave me here
Where I'll begin to decay for you
These are the words that I wish I never wrote down
Because all they do is remind me that I'm still stuck in this town
If I can speak honestly, you know I'm not so good at subtlety
Come and watch the show you hate, come and watch me deteriorate
Did I say hate? I meant caused
I'm nearing my end, please hold the applause
I don't want to leave, I want to stay, can't you see what you're doing to me?
But you don't care, you just want me to go away, just leave me here
Where I'll begin to decay for you

Life After High School

Hey it's nice to meet you, I haven't seen you in years
I'm the kid that sat next to the trash can at lunch in High School
That you never ever said "Hi" to, 'cause you were just too cool
I've been great, I'm a full time student of archaeology
I dig in my arms everyday, trying to find another vein
'Cause I don't want to be a contender, in your fucking game
I kill myself everyday with my frustration
It's okay I know you had to keep your reputation
I hate this place, and I hate your face
I just need more dope, just one more taste
I hate this place, and I hate your face
I just need more dope, just one more fucking taste
The low fuel light is always on and all of my dreams have gone
It's hard to love when you hate yourself, I think it's time to leave
I've overstayed my welcome, it's time for me to go home
Where's home? I thought it was here but now I'm not so sure
I've just grown so tired of breathing, I think I'm starting to hate eating
And this is the last song I'll ever write, well at least for tonight
I just wish that by tomorrow everything would be alright
But that's just not the case, now is it? Now is it?
I hate this place, and I hate your face
I just need more dope, just one more taste
I hate this place, and I hate your face
I just need more dope, just one more fucking taste

This Life

My heart keeps on aching, and my back is still breaking
But mostly I just feel small in this world that doesn’t really need me at all
I know you think you get it, but to put it simply
You can’t and you never could ‘cause this world needs you desperately
I hate this job I’m at but my guitar won’t pay the bills
But I bet it would if I had someone else’s voice and hands
I can’t help but to think of my brothers, they’re so brave
I haven’t seen one of them in years, I hope he’s okay
I was never there for them, I’ve been afraid for almost two decades
They’ve always been so strong, even though I robbed him blind
Just so I could feed my arm, this is always the last time
My dad keeps on crossing my mind, I fear I’m becoming more like him
Though something’s changed since he found god, joy’s returned to his eyes
I guess ignorance is bliss, keep on living off your book of lies
I’m so sick ‘cause I’ve been so well, now I gotta keep pushing through this hell
I’ll try to hold it together ‘cause I ain’t dead yet
But it’ll be soon if you want my bet
