Outside looking in, I’m sifting through these hollow cracks, looking back in retrospect, who would have thought it would end like this, dead weight dragged through each city, a slow march to our resting place, I can’t stand to watch this happen again, what we built has finally come to an end but for the first time in seven years I’m seeing clearly, I’m taking control of all those things I let slip by me. Make peace with your past mistakes, make sense of the life that remains, take it by the throat and never let go.

Theres nothing left to burn, Those days are gone just like that part of me, lost in the past with everything else that I kept from you, nothing changes it’s always the same, those mindless routines and same old ways, that distance I created was for the best, we didn’t grow apart, I pushed it all away, there was nothing left for me to say, dark clouds form again, over that place where it all began, I’m not there...but I can’t forget.

Not Welcome 01:27
Pushed too far until it fucking broke me, those teenage years spent wondering why you hated everything you didn’t find first, who gives a fuck, you were just another hollow shell with so much to prove, narrow minded fuck, you don’t have a clue. So much has changed since we were kids but you’re still the same piece of shit, wasting everyones time. Dragged down into the depths of your mind, you’ll stay there until you die, so until then stay the fuck away from me. Force your ways onto those who fear the feeling of standing alone, make them feel like nothing, worthless waste of skin, not fooling me.

Pushing through the years which shaped our identities, how we view the world and how we act within it, a place to create and express ourselves and escape the weight of this world, it builds and burns inside us, can’t you see that there’s nothing else, it’s in our blood just like the air in our lungs, it’s the only thing that really made any sense to us, skateboarding saved our lives.

Another End 00:59
All control is slipping away, a fading signal from yesterday, those words once spoken with such conviction are just another blur, remember when we said we wouldn’t turn out like them, I guess that didn’t mean shit to you, it was everything to me, all the put downs and pretending to be over it, act like your above us all, self righteous piece of shit, false intentions cheap tricks and smiles, a lonely soul living to acquire, your only here to be a star, living a lie from a month to a year until the next big trend changes how you appear, inside and out, its all the fucking same, another end, another change.

So sick and tired of waiting for the ash and smoke to clear, this unending questioning from within, it’s always there, all those special moments and stand out times all merge into one, gathering dust alongside the blackouts and faceless names, every part of me is pulling, it’s making it hard to breathe, you told me about last night as I hung my head and closed my eyes, I need something to make this ticking go away, self destruction, what the fuck is wrong with me? Drained, lost, these distractions are wearing thin, deep breaths, trying to pace myself, I was hoping that things would change and that none of this would see the light of day, what can I say, I should have let it play out and try not to obsess about every minor detail, that part of me won’t change, I’ve come to terms with who I am, I won’t waste my time pretending to be something I’m not.
7.
I see that weight in you, I used to feel the same, a dying fire inside your eyes, the struggle to maintain a sense of worth, I know how it feels, it consumes and feeds endlessly until theres nothing left inside, don’t give up on yourself, you’re not alone, you know we share the pain, I hope you understand what your life is worth, don’t throw it away, I know it feels like the world is against you and you’ve been led astray, if you could only hear all the things you used to say, that fire inside of you used to burn so bright, the pain that you’re feeling now has made you lose the will to fight, you used to have the world in your fist until depression pried your fingers and you lost your grip, I know its hard to feel anything at the bottom, this storm will pass on by, let it pass through you.
