Bad Blood

Why can’t we just let go of all of our bad blood
Does it make us who we are
No rehashing it will make it any different
I just needed a fresh start
I’d feel better talking about it
If I didn’t have a headache
It’s just the caffeine that I’m soaking in
And now that we’re talking about it
(Don't talk about it)
You say it’s not like me
To chase an empty feeling
Maybe I’ve gone soft
Maybe I’m waiting for what
Something to make me feel alive
You think I’m looking for love
Maybe I’ve gone soft
Maybe I’m waiting for luck
Something to help direct my life
Help me my compass is stuck
A small regulated dose of in a hurry going nowhere
40 hours a week spent just sleep walking
You keep asking but nothings wrong
It’s just that nothings going on
Or getting done.
I’d love to sit and talk about it
But I gotta go clock back in
I’d feel better talking about it
If I didn’t have a headache
It’s just the caffeine that I’m soaking in
And now that we’re talking about it
(Don't talk about it)
You say it’s not like me
(No it’s not like me)
To chase an empty feeling
No rehashing it will make it any different

Catching Up

No matter how often I sit and think about
Where I’d like to be and where I am
It’s always there
Discouraging memories of trying and failing
But not quite sinking
Too many favors gone unreturned
I’m bitter but I’ve learned
I still want this
So I’m calling it out
Calling it as I see
And I see this whole thing not working out
The only difference is that I meant to
And you actually followed through
You’ll never let me forget it
How it all worked out for you
It’s taken more time to realize than I would’ve liked
It’s taken more time
I’m catching up to running in place
It’s just a rut and I’m feeling stuck
Now you hold the knife at my expense
You came this far, just push it in
Or cut me loose
Cause it’s time to choose
Don’t let harsh words deceive you
If the tables turned
I’d do what you’d done to me
So there’s comfort in the certainty it’s you
Tearing through my skin
But I’d rather feel the sting of blood
Filling back into my unused limbs
The only difference is that I meant to
And you actually followed through
You’ll never let me forget it
How it all worked out for you
It’s taken more time

Far Too Busy

It feels strange to go it alone
What is it that they say?
"Two sides to the same coin"
I don’t know, but anyways
Now see the footprints in the snow
And watch the new flakes fill them in
Cause soon you’ll lose the way back home
And you’ll never see it again.
Something is coming in with the cold
I hope it’s going back with me
Whenever it decides to leave
I’m sick of everything I know
And I know that you won’t miss me
And that you’ve been noticing
All the changes on my face
The way my eyes just stare off glazed
As if there’s something they’re glimpsing
That you just can’t perceive
There was a time you’d try to cross your eyes
Enough to view it with me
But now you’re just far too busy
It’s time to try something new
It’s time to dive right in
It’s time to bid the past adieu
Goodbye to you and you and you
I’ve seen the footprints in the snow
And watched the new flakes fill them in
And now you’ve lost the way back home
And I’ll never see you again
Something is coming in with the cold
I hope it’s going back with me
Whenever it decides to leave
I’m sick of everything I know
And I know that you won’t miss me
And that you’ve been noticing
All the changes on my face
The way my eyes just stare off blazed
As if there’s something they’re glimpsing
That you just can’t perceive
There was a time you’d try to cross your eyes
Enough to view it with me
But now you’ve got your new city

I’ve got the play by play on how this unfolds
The talk of money, drugs and cheating gets old
You can’t justify these lies
No, you don’t know how to treat her
Can’t even look me in the eye
These walls aren’t as thick as you think
They’re as thin as my skin when it comes to you
Just know there’s someone listening
And that I’ve got one hell of a memory
You’re biting off more than you need
Too much is never enough for you
You take, take, take
Take what you please
When you don’t get your way you threaten to leave
A thing that seems to always turn out to be
A promise too good too be true
Cast the spotlight on me, see if it works out for you
Can’t even look me in the eye
These walls aren’t as thick as you think
They’re as thin as my skin when it comes to you
Just know there’s someone listening
And that I’ve got one hell of a memory
You’re biting off more than you need
Too much is never enough for you
You take, take, take
Take what you please
Now you took away my family
Now you’re grasping for attention
A few attempts on your life
With a son on the way
I guess he’ll learn from daddy
That life’s a big mistake
Unless your selfishness
And now you’re grasping for attention
A few attempts on your life
Not enough pills today
And I was hoping
That you could do this one thing right
And that’s my selfishness
And I was hoping
That you could do this one thing right
These walls aren’t as thick as you think
They’re as thin as my skin when it comes to you
Just know there’s someone listening
And that I’ve got one hell of a memory
You’re biting off more than you need
Too much is never enough for you
You take, take, take
Take what you please
Now you took away my family
