So once again i'll pay the rent on a heart so broken, bruised and bent I'm back to my fucked up self again I drank myself to sleep every night this week Adding bottles to my windowsill when I could have been counting sheep The eyes, they stare From the photo that hangs above my bed While the war rages on inside my head I always say the right thing at the wrong time Give me somewhat of a reason before I stray and fall away I need something to believe in Pave me a path to greener pastures Before the paint peels away from this portrait of disaster Each night I tare myself apart Each day I intend to start again, pick up where I left off But the circle, it is unjust The eyes the stare, from the photo that hangs above my bed While the war rages on inside my head I always say the right thing at the wrong time

The weight of the world crushes down around me as I crawl To the hole I call home The seasons change, I stay the same, I need saving I'm nailed to the floor I'm through the front door, fall in a heap And the shits stacked up in the kitchen sink The days been long, I need a drink With a mind so wired, I cannot sleep No I can't even catch one fucking wink The weeks been long, i'm sick of thinking So i'll run away Lose myself and come back some other day Wave goodbye as the highway calls my name It's such a shame that I took so long, so many years to cave Saw the world through bloodshot eyes Hit the lowest lows and found the highest highs I got beat down, thrown out, picked up and pushed aside I went to hell and back just to find a little peice of my soul got left behind What a clever way to waste my time I came here with nothing Finding that something I wouldn't rather be anywhere else Fine by myself Wouldn't change that for anything I'll run away Find myself and come back some other day My minds a maze and i'm amazed I made it through

Souvenir 05:52
It's hard to watch you fade away A little more with each passing day It never crossed my mind, to stray from your side When you were always on mine Memories of us I always struggled to keep Are lost in years worth of mispent weeks But they're still vivid in my dreams So I sleep when I want to, I sleep when I need you near When that day comes How can I figure myself out, when half of my souls in the ground When that day comes I know I won't hold out, so i'll sell the other half to the crowd Never liked what i'd become, friend to some but loved by none yeah I was dumb And as for my health, the beers and cigarettes won't drink and smoke themselves I can't help myself All I want is my conscience cleared You say you've run your race an my heart quietly breaks As I sit beside your bed, my hands clasped together, pleading your case I'll repeat your mistakes, that's the path that I choose But here's me hoping that the world treats me a little better than it did you What's left to say? I'll hold down the fort while you're away and pray That we'll see each other again somewhere someday And when you're gone, you'll live on in my head I'll never forget the last few words you said Cuts on my feet, scars on my knees The only souvenirs i'll keep Hazy rooms, just you and me The only air that I wanna breathe I've wasted years, don't grieve for me Just see all the places I didn't see Walk it hard and keep no receipts Cause in the end you've all the sleep you need My heart gets caught on my sleep When I know that you're leaving soon

The Siege 04:43
As soon as the sun goes down I write The words that only seem to come to me at night As the clock runs out of time Lets sit around and list the ways we wanna die I missed your call, when I fell asleep We were smoking weed saying we'll stop next week It's not my fault I just need an escape I know you only see in black and white I'll try to make it right again tonight by saying all the things you wanna hear But who knows where we'll be this time next year I missed your call, when I fell asleep We were smoking weed saying we'll stop next week It's not my fault I just need an escape from myself You're running out of time, I guess i'll keep wasting mine
