How come good things always turn to shit
Nothing lasts forever, no happy endings
You can point the finger or raise the fist
Or take it on the chin cause it's the way it is
You can lament on love lost
The things gone wrong
Or you can just move on
Play the card, woe is me
Or find it in yourself to fucking dig deep
But whats the point, is it all pointless?
Whose gonna love me when I die?
So I guess the best we can hope for is to leave at the peak of our rise
To avoid the lows
Time is on your side
Now isn't that a fucking lie

sink back into the scum
bent over backwards for you
to have you throw it in my face
retribution for my rage
then we went our ways
you lifted your head like you had something to prove
a snake can shed its skin but not the truth
you've forced yourself to believe your lies
i hope you choke when you swallow your pride
forked tongue
spineless worm
keep on saying its not your fault
why try to swim when you've already drowned?
you refuse to sink, well I hold you down
learn your fucking place, bite your fucking tongue
and sink your way back into the scum
you'll find your security
hidden in obscurity
your small victory
has defeated you

Deny the truth, Ride the excuse
Every lie is salt in the wounds
We all know you got to get by
But those methods will leave you high & dry
How long can I do this for?
Feeling like there's nothing more
Torpid state, can't relate
apathetic, life's mundane
Just another day of feeling drained
Shaped you, now your chained
But if it doesn't matter to you it doesn't matter to me
We both got different views on how actions speak
I could waste my breath, trying to make sense
But the rest is best left unsaid
Twenty one that's when I thought
What's the point if joy can't be bought
You said it was a foolish dream
That's when I realised you're not like me
Dollar signs blind your eyes
Oblivious to own demise
You're a slave but don't realise
Gaoled by the coin for the rest of your life

We all make mistakes we try to cover up
Little white lies justified at the time
You'll tell yourself just about anything
To help you sleep, to get you out of bed
To get you by
Get out of my head
Just relax, catch your breathing
We all deny, it's a part of grieving
I DON'T BELIEVE IT
It's a part of healing
I DON'T BELIEVE IT
It's a part of living
I deserve everything I get,
And so do you
Life has funny ways of making you pay for your pride
Take those feelings hide 'em deep inside
Swallow it, bite by fucking bite
And never ever let it out
I wish
I had the restraint
And the strength to just say no
But I've fucked up
And I will fuck up again
I've made my mistakes
Ended on my own
But I make the same again
It's all I'll ever know
The will is strong
The flesh is weak

Hurt to Learn

The price we pay for mistakes
That day to day we have to face
Issues adding up, man I've had enough
I've fucking had it up to (HERE) How much can I take before I break?
When I reflect I don't regret
Cause each wounds a lesson I won't forget
Bridges & fingers burnt
As we grow we hurt to learn
We all make choices
That we have to live with
And everyday
It's out to get you
Suck me dry the world's a leech
Pierce my eye I'm pulling teeth
Crack my skull so you can see
I hope the ends justify the means
That's when it hit me
oh so quickly
Caught in life's stranglehold
punch-drunk from blunt force
Let the pain take it's toll
Luck will end, cut to shreds
Young & dumb, not prepared
But it's not like I didn't care
I was young & dumb and not prepared
