whatever's left...

reality was never that far away
but I'd always bet it wouldn't find me today
"giving up" was the last thing I'd say
but burning all my bridges...well that's the game I'd play

find myself
or whatever's left
how long has it been since I'd slept
and not dream of you...
not dream of you

I ran outta' time, a long time ago
reactions and distractions are all I know
the howling at the door? well that's just the blow
calling me back to the last place I should go

guess it'd been better if it didn't happen this way
and I'm still struggling everyday
to put it behind me, like everyone says
but 'cause of all the sh*t I've done, no one ever stays

for whatever it's worth, it's easier said than done
I'd lost my own way, coulda' happened to anyone
don't know how to feel or how long I've run
and for all my trouble, this race is never won

find myself
or whatever's left
how long has it been since I'd slept
and not dream of you...
yeah, not dream of you

Done with me...

got no feelings left to hurt
pretty much lower than dirt
I think I'm done but never sure
someone else can have this life
it's done with me

a piece of hope a part of the past
know just how long my luck will last
through waves of people I have passed
someone else can have this life
it's done with me

seen the bottom but couldn't stop
even myself I have shocked
and I'm still waiting for the bottom to drop
someone else can have this life
it's done with me

"TEARS"

meltdownsky · Tenant

anymore...

can't worry 'bout tomorrow
barely made it through today
"third time's a charm"
I proved that wrong again

I'm tired of living in shadows
I'm tired of living a lie
I'm tired of the money I "borrow"
and I'm tired of wondering why

so now I know you don't love me
'cause you remember who I used to be
all I've caused was suffering
please...just don't hate me anymore

didn't mean to bring you along
as I drifted away
you used to mean everything
now you're just in the way

as much as I want to apologize
you'd just know it was another lie
wore out my welcome 'long time ago
when I chose this harder road

and when you're wondering
where the He11 did I go
I could never tell you
...you wouldn't want to know

so now I know you don't love me
'cause you remember who used to be
all I've caused was suffering
please...just don't hate me anymore

Stephen,
You break and overjoy my heart at the same time. Your writing is amazing. I am so glad you are channelling your energy this way. I am still concerned about you. I wish you would IM me or call me or leave me a messege and let me know where you are and what happened after the last time we spoke. Just another concerned buddy out here and an ear whenever you need it.
Keep doing what you're doin' (unless it's dope....) even then you know you could call me and I would never judge you.

I think at this point you know what a waste of time, energy and money dope is though and I don't think you would be writing such great tunes because you would be too busy focusing on your next blast and feeling guilty.. what a lousy trip and high dope is now huh?

Anyways my friend. Love your writing, want to know where you are physically and emotionally.

Your friend
Tasi
Peace
Peace

no suitable ending...

doing the right thing should be easy to do
shame on me for all I've put you through
while riding a line of insanity or sobriety
always making it it harder than it has to be

tell me, do I look as bad as I feel
'cause I'm losing track of what's false or what's real
stranger's callin' me with plenty of more
as I am hiding behind locked doors
I keep on running but can't remember what for

so say your prayers, say'em loud
of so many things I am not proud
I've hurt myself more than enough
but since I'm so DUMB, gonna' have to be TOUGH

guess I should let it go, seems like it's got me
somehow convinced myself I'd rather be unhappy
a path of lies are I have found
so bored with this side of the ground

here again, I'm avoiding sleep
all I see in the mirror is stupid and weak
as the days go by, all that I know
for such a wreck this death is slow
left all alone with nowhere left to go

so say your prayers, say'em loud
of so many things I am not proud
I've hurt myself more than enough
but since I'm so DUMB, gonna' have to be TOUGH
