I used to say all the time
I’d look out for your blindside
You’d drink and drive
Despite the flashing lights that lurked behind
I can’t decide
If I’m haunted by hindsight or terrified
That my own deception left you to die
I can’t repent with time
It kills me inside
There’s only so much I can take
I ran out of words to say
Resignation is a different kind of pain
You would disappear for days
And I would be unafraid
Cynicism is easier than dismay
Sixty milligrams were like cyanide seeping into your spine
Faded eyes were afraid to die but then brave inside of your mind's eye
Ashamed that I’d hide behind the borrowed time that you’d find
A brazen light and a blatant lie that your fine
There’s only so much I could try
When you were resolute inside
And full of narcissistic pride you never heard back then
It crept inside your mind
And I neglected every sign
And then you left before I tried to find the words I meant
Die inside my head sometimes
Burdens I can’t bear to shoulder
Epilogues I’ve yet to write
Never could compare to closure
I can't shut my eyes
Left you for dead in the dark
You bled through the tourniquet you tied
It kills me inside

Skulls and Flowers

I dreamt that I’m bleeding out again
I don’t care I’m dying
You said I’ll leave you in the end
I won’t dare and try
I feel something creeping in again
Skeletons are writhing
Beneath the surface where you buried me
I’ll never see your light
But spare my eyes it’s a cursed sight
I don’t want to look into it
It's secrets took me to the grave
But I can’t lie I’m the worst kind
I’m blind to blatant deception
And deceitful looks upon your face
I wish I could tell you I left some flowers on your grave
I was disgusted and devastated at the same time
Felt compelled to relive encounters I disdain
But I’ve been conflicted on how to justify the pain
I’m still sleeping terrible
I feel these skeletons pull me down
I dreamt of a flight inside a storm
I have fears of flying
I’ve seen these lightning strikes before
In the clearest sky
I wish I could say I witnessed more than eerie disquiet
The sound of turbulence reverberates a voice I know too well
But clear your mind
Of those forced ties
There’s no deeper explanation
No hidden connotations now
But I can’t lie
I’ve ignored signs
Blissfully unaware in disbelief and doubt
I let this get inside my head sometimes
Burdens I can’t bear to shoulder
Epilogues I’ve yet to write
Never could compare to closure
I'll never let it go
I let these skeletons pull me down

I check every night for the ghost in the backseat
It whispers me the questions I’d hoped you would ask me
Wishful thinking approaches a bad dream
When hope is left to the opiates that regulate my sleep
I saw two satellites in the sky go dark
You had a vice grip inside my heart
I couldn’t survive when you pried it apart
Your eyes look so far away
I knew when I lost my sense of gravity that I could never live
We’re falling down to earth in tragedy like 1986
Feels like I’m dead on arrival
Falling from heights I fear
I’m part of a cycle
I can’t explain at all
My head starts to spiral
Crawling from nightmare depths
Your voice is denial
And I can’t restrain myself at all
I looked up in wonder when Saturn would pass by
Saw the Phoenix lights disappear into black skies
At 2:34 you appeared to me that night
It was clear that I was delirious and weary of those eyes
They reside
Inside my head sometimes
Burdens I can't bear to shoulder
Epilogues I've yet to write
Never could compare to closure

November First

I only ever tried to find my prison
How am I supposed to spend the time I'm given now?
I let the burden blind my vision
How am I supposed to let my past self live it down?
I can't try and shake my sorrows
If every time I walk alone the Shape still follows close
He’ll put me in a grave tomorrow
I don’t know if you could ever save my hollowed soul
Take that mask you hid inside
And let them see your eyes
I don’t care if fear can paralyze
I’m dead on the inside
Hold that knife you're sharpening
And keep it by your side
These October nights are darkening
And he’ll be back in time
But when the long night fades
Will you still know who you are?
When only shadows remain
Will you crawl back towards the dark?
I told myself I’d make things better
I feel like I need something to take this pressure off
Tradition made me hate this weather
Haddonfield has never been a safe place to get lost
I was in the worst condition
Paranoid delusion is the world I live in now
Denial couldn’t cure suspicion
I thought he was back with every stir or distant sound
It lives in inside me
It still defines me
It’s still inside my head
I can’t escape
Something I can’t explain
I saw the look inside his eyes go dead
But the fear remains
I'll never feel the same
I'll always feel the pain
I let this get inside my head sometimes
Burdens I can’t bear to shoulder
Epilogues I’ve yet to write
Never could compare to closure
It lives in inside me
It still defines me
When November arrives
Will you still know who you are?
