Posture 03:46
She sits and sips on her cigarette - She wants to leave but don't want regret - He tried to change but she could care less - He can forgive but he can't forget She sits and sips on her margarita - She loves her man he would never cheat her - He kissed her hand he would never beat her - But can he love her if he can't believe her Yeah she takes a big drag from her cigarette - Cause every single second of every minute is like the creepin sound of death - In her chest - Who woulda guessed that the stress would make her wanna leave the nest and put this ever-changing incessant mess to rest - And you can bet that she tried every trick in the book - One last look at her hand before she folded and shook her head in shame - So much pain in the price of the game, and the rearrangement of the frame and the state of the brain - Could drive anybody down a whole different pathway or lane - Still she decides to stay - right now there aint no other way - And right now there aint no sunshine today - So dark she's so blind today She sits and thinks about her situation - She's tired of it all and feelin complacent - He thinks about her but he don't think he can face it - Another heart in the dumpster another love that is wasted She sits and chats on the internet - She's all alone and she needs a friend - He's in her face but he's not in her head - He's away and he's gone and she feels like he's dead So many things went so wrong - So many long nights on telephones - No lights, in the bed alone - More fights, and she cries but only if alone - If they could only get along - If they could only stop and stall - If they could only beat it all then they could move on to tomorrow - Or a new day - In a new way - See a new shade - Of an old grey - Take a simple step back, that's what you could say - Not a game they should play - So if they both decide they can't take no more then they both have surrendered to the enemy in the war - Not a friend to be - Condescending things said out of spite defensively - So questioning - Was it meant to be just a movie scene? A lucid dream? Or was it all just maybe a little too real and the fear of commitment has broken the seal?

Yeah I define me, you can try to materialize me So much for perfect timing, cause I need a little reminding The breeze is blowing and the windchimes are chiming Musical love comes out in my rhyming Then I try to see what's behind me - About face to the world around me Turn and face the strange it will return someday and if you listen to what I say, everything will be okay This emotions like running a race I'm never gonna win Will I cross the finish line or will I keep stumbling? I'm running out of time as I lose my breath again Your soul looks so inviting, you shake my bones and you tantalize me Move so quick I see you flutter and writhing, You shed your skin and then begin your multiplying This emotions like running a race I'm never gonna win Will I cross the finish line or will I keep stumbling? I'm running out of time as I lose my breath again I'm tarnished but a piece is so shiny - My skin is raw from your pleading and crying Yeah I lie when the truth is too blinding, Like every other person who's climbing My loving heart, the color of nightime - Redemption for emotion, target in my sightline Even with shadows burning my eyes, I still pray for the day I can see alright

Everything is so negative - Everything just bearin down on my chest - Makin me run out of breath - Out of breath You got me so numb - I'm feelin no pain You got me so numb - I'm feelin no pain I don't know why I am feelin this way You got me so numb - I'm feelin no pain

With this pen I erase my face and fly back to a time in space where I sustained without pain, And everything was a different shade and - I don't know what happened to it - Movin fluid then suddenly lose it - Will I beat it? Will I go through with it? Heartbeat in my chest and I choose it This letter's addressed to whom it concerns - Read the words very carefully, through you I'll be heard - In the afterlife - I didn't mean to leave in a fashion that left you feeling sick, mourning, hatin my passin - Askin why I did it - But it just isn't that simple - If you really knew why I did it - I'd be who it's written to - Eighteen years through these eyes I seen pain - The world lies beneath a picture I see in the frame - A story stuck in purgatory, but that's my day to death - My eyes were sunk in, my frame was a thin as a page - Runnin sick from nightmares then insomnia plagued - My life right where once the piece I had laid - And the fights right there but too much had been paid - I got nothing left, just the words on the page - So I'm sayin I'm leaving, I'm thinkin I can't agree with breaking permanent pieces of people I know believe in me Suicide note, do or die note - Hopin on the time to arrive when I can just let it go - I just let it show - through the words that I say, I'm feelin the rage, the blood on the page, I write a suicide note Cause I'm hoping for the moment when I'm lowered deep down in the dirt - Cause when no ones around there's no way to get hurt - When I'm making a sound still no way to be heard So I figure with this itchy trigger finger I might let it get a little bit more intimate before I put to bed all these ridiculous thoughts in my head - Lightin candles as I try to handle seein myself in the mirror on the mantle, looking like I'm already dead - Feelin blind I can't hear to decipher all the shit that's makin me see red - I can't finish anything that I start - Gotta keep it together - Though I'm fallin apart - My god I'm weepin forever, through the hole in my heart - Caught 'em sleepin together, now I take it too far - Dig the knife in my arm, release the energy - Done - And I can travel on, but before I'm gone guess I gotta write a Suicide note, do or die note - Hopin on the time to arrive when I can just let it go - I just let it show - through the words that I say, I'm feelin the rage, the blood on the page, I write a suicide note The question is, I wonder was you feeling me? Did I become what you thought I'd be? And were the times of peace? Or just signs of me on a blinder side, aligned with grief? And did you pay attention to me? Messages sent, reflect from your direction back to me - Left blind, assuming, all my time was ruined, you were on my mind all the times that you lied and I knew it - But I aint mad at ya - I was keepin the strength - All the lies and deceit to fake fate that kept me straight - At a great rate - It kept me safe and now I'm fallin - You know how it goes when the reaper comes callin - Til dried eyes are cried out - I'm a leave you with this - My last secret of peace you might of missed - I was the beast in the mist - The man that never is even as half as evil as he really could've been If you're reading this now then I guess you found out - That I can't take any more I live with too much doubt - But stop baby, please don't be sad - Think about the times we laughed after I made you mad - I know I miss your smile and the touch of your lips - I miss the way your hair smells and holding you in my grips - Tell my kids that I love 'em and I tried to be there - But their mom took them away from me without a care - Tell my parents that I'm sorry but they did their best - I'm not as smart as they thought I failed the ultimate test - Steve be somethin great and take pride in our name - Melissa take care of your kids I know they're not ashamed Suicide note, do or die note - Hopin on the time to arrive when I can just let it go - I just let it show - through the words that I say, I'm feelin the rage, the blood on the page, I write a suicide note

Push On 03:37
I don't know love and you don't know pain Drowning in the mud from the strength of the rain Try to change that tonight I'll be strong Send the rain back and tonight we'll push on How did I get here? Where did I come from? Fire and brimstone bubbling from below - Making deals with the devil a conscience overflow - Now my bridges are burned and no one seems to know, how I stay above water with such an undertow - No trust for the ones who pushed me away, and all the pain - Seems in a way - To be the only thing keeping me going today - I like the way your face is giving me something to say - And how the only thing that makes me smile - Is by hearin you say how I'm such an asshole and you don't know what to do - And how I'm green with envy and that makes you feel so blue - and its true - But the angel on my side has left this time - Fed up with your disguise and your path of constant lies - A constant eye to keep a close watch cause the devil is on my shoulder - tellin me what I got I don't know love and you don't know pain Drowning in the mud from the strength of the rain Try to change that tonight I'll be strong Send the rain back and tonight we'll push on Can you figure it out? Cause see I figured it out - The way we beat each other down - the way we go for 10 rounds - But neither one is knocked out and neither one is knocked down - This shit'll go on all night the way we're dancing around - Serious there is no jokin around - Read my answer cause I've written it down, opened my mouth & said it out loud - If there's a bump in the road can we please drive around - The breeze from a cloud - Scars on my knees from all the kneeling down - Pleading - Statin my peace - All the same reasons why you coming at me - But please understand that I don't understand all the cards in my hand, or the map in my head, or the path of misdirection is tries to embed - No need to leave words unsaid - So let me say it in your ear, so nice and clear - And long as you want me just expect me right here I don't know love and you don't know pain Drowning in the mud from the strength of the rain Try to change that tonight I'll be strong Send the rain back and tonight we'll push on

Fall back - Watch us fall through the cracks again - Weakness becomes strength then - Thrown aside in the pile - is it worth the while to try again? Fly far away from them - Die waiting for encouragement - Where do we start from when it all feels - feels like the end? A weapon within him battlin blasphemous demons, or angels who have fallen - Everything that I saw makes me not trust them or the next man - A cynic forever with a blessin - learned my lesson - Life is just a steppin stone towards a whole other type of larger being's plan - So nothing's being planned and I feel I could go down another broken path anytime again - what comfort will I find again? I feel like I'm behind again - Always on standby - Next in line to pay the man or to have the favor returned - My karma replenished again - Why am I always so far from the finish line or the end? I try to stay independent from the chances that I develop a passion for lettin it all go to my head Fall back - Watch us fall through the cracks again - Weakness becomes strength then - Thrown aside in the pile - is it worth the while to try again? Fly far away from them - Die waiting for encouragement - Where do we start from when it all feels - feels like the end? I can see the sun break the light from my bed - The sight in my eyes changes from brown to green to red - Got my whole vibe empty - See you're leaving me hangin - Aint nobody thankin me -For the beat bangin or the way I try to keep it swanging - But I'm managing - It's so hard when you feel your character's so damaged - And that's the pile of shit I'm standing in As the sun rises we decide if this life is the best one left behind if the best is yet to come - And will I find a key to open doors and unlock minds? And if this shit's on a delay, I will find the time - And it seems like everything is just gettin harder and harder - I find glitches, reposition but still can't find the reason why you act this way - Why you try to destroy my foundation - When it's the only way to progress while you digress back to the stress and I try to be the reason why you see the forest for the trees - A disease infection - Directin the ones who elect the weakest shit out there - So I'm gonna do the best I can - And if you're vexed again - Put your speakers up to 10 and just bend with me
