Teach Me

Tell me how to forget this

And pretend I'm fine

Tell me how to fake it

Without wasting time

Burning all the pages

To this life

Im tired of the fake shit

Just tell me lies

Suffocation from the pressure

Under crashing waves

Falling further from the light

I once knew as a saving grace

So teach me

How to start over again

I'm at the end of this thread

Waiting for it to end

Teach me

How to start from nothing

I'm ready for something new

Burn these bridges

And set these demons free

I've lost count

Of how many times

I claimed I stopped caring

Lost sight of the kid

Who said goodbye

Without a second thought

It's all fun and games

Till we grow complacent

Too comfortable

To move away

Falling numb

To everything that we love

I don't wanna be

Another casualty

In this society

I don't wanna be begging

For something

I'll never see

I don't wanna feel numb forever

Refusing to conform

To this reality

Killing us all

Alone In The Dark

Alone in the dark

And it's haunting

Alone in the night

It's never ending

Alone in this head

It won't shut up

Just looking for a way out

Searching for solutions

To all of these questions

Stuck in autopilot

Can't change gears

Can't get this mind off it

Feeling broken

Neglecting everything

Burning away

The best parts of me

Till it seems like

There's nothing left to rebuild

Ghosts come out to play

Searching for the

Lost and the dammed

Waiting for war

Pretending its nowhere to be seen

Playing tricks

Just to prank

Trying to break

Just to prove

Power belongs to one

And everyone else

Is here to lose

Hoping to start a war

That no one sees

Everyone feels

Leaving us beaten and breathless

Bruised and broken

Painting Smiles

Just another day

Another year

Come and gone

Everything stays the same

With a little more hate

While we all float on by

Passing on a rock

In outer space

It sounds

A little more jaded

Than it really is

But this time

We're breaking

All the rules

Just to deal with it

So paint a smile

On your face

Tell the world

We'll be okay

Cause I'm getting tired

Of always being

So fucking tired

Make them believe

In the end

Show them the war

And bring them

To their knees

We'll paint these smiles

On everything

That we see

Cause I'm still fighting

In a raging war

I'm still climbing

Just to beat the score

Nothing's gonna

Wear me down

I won't stop

Till I hit the ground

The best has yet to come

We Should Be Fighting To Be Anything But What We Are

(Intro)

I just wanted to find

Somewhere, I could be myself

Somewhere, I could feel safe

Away from this place

This misery I call home

(V1)

Been building roots

Where I don't belong

Getting harder to grow

And move on

Wanting to go

Wherever the wind

Can make me float

(Chorus)

We're not allowed to be lost

We're not allowed to be free

We're supposed to know

What we want

We're not allowed

Just to be

Broken in misery

Searching for what

We want

Set fire to the past

And build something

Set to last

Worth fighting for

(V2)

Been setting up

For a breakaway

A disappearing act

No one will see

Cause I've been

Contemplating

Our reality

The world

All around me

Collateral Damage (These Nightmares)

These nightmares

Are burning away

Disipating

Like stars in the sky

While I'm getting lost

In the world of a dream

So I dance with the devil

While a demon's on my back

Searching for heaven

While I'm stuck in this hell

I'm taking my time

Finding my way

Cause nothing else matters

When I'm not myself

Heroes fall asleep

In the dead of night

The moon up high

While I tread a thin line

Wide awake

Cause I feel alive

When darkness rises

Through the bleakest sky

Its alright

I'll be fine

All on my own

Looking out

At the sky

Searching for hope

It may seem

To be picture pefect

Burning away

With flames

Out of control

While losing sight

Of all that we've known

It's all collateral damage

In the end

Where Are You?

I dont hear your voice anymore

Tell me where'd you go

You left me alone in the dark

Wondering hopelessly

Waiting for something more

Can you see me

Are you even listening

Did you leave me

Cause I can't feel you anywhere

Losing touch with reality

They're speaking to me

It doesn't seem right

Alone in the dark

And it's haunting

Alone in the night

It's never ending

Alone in this head

It won't shut up

Just looking for a way out

Searching for solutions

To all of these questions

The ghosts come out to play

Searching for the lost

Seeking out the dammed

Waiting for war

Waiting for an ending

To come to sight

Are you listening

To the slient screams

To the bated breaths

Of the jaded hearts

Can you see me

Cause I can't hear you

Did you leave

Cause I can't feel you

Are you listening

Memories Lost

I remember every heartache

Every broken promise

Left on the table

The long bus rides

To the middle of nowhere

Just to feel

Like we mattered

For a moment of time

We said forever

But forever

Wasn't as long

As we thought

We'd spend some nights

Crying to the morning sky

And others

Having a good fucking time

The rest of the nights

Screaming till no sound came out

Tell me where it all went wrong

Falling apart

Like its our only job

Tell me where

We lost our touch

And never spoke again

I guess

Pen and paper

Burn too fast

We forgot

To send a message

Like the bottle

Would get lost

It's a mess

But we lost touch

Everything ends

Didnt think

It would be so soon

2023 was a weird year. Nothing necessarily bad, but not really good either. It was a year that I took away from this site to learn, step back, and reset. To write without sharing here. It was also a year that in my writing I never truly finished most peices I wrote. This one I wrote for the new year last year.

We're still dreaming of the days

The sun seems to stay

Waiting for the world

To leave disarray

Existing in a state of stillness

Like learning to breathe

And simply be

For the first time

And this time

I hope you find

What you want

The peace

That you deserve

Away from the panic

And everything that hurts

Cause no one's better off

When we're left

Broken in pieces

We don't need

Another stupid year

For the chance

To start over again

Fresh start whenever

We feel the need

To reset

Take the moment

To catch

Your breath

Dreaming of the last time

We felt like we were free

Intoxicated by life

Lost in the reality

We created

Just to burn it all

Like learning to breathe

And simply be

For the first time

Too much time

Has come and gone

Living life

And living small

Just to be lost

In what could have been

Building nightmares

Instead of building aspiration

Left behind

Waiting for someone

To let us be

New again

Start Over Again

Let me take a minute

To say hello

Cause it's been

Far too long

Since our last goodbye

There's been heartache and war

Devistation and rebuild

I've lost myself

More times than I can count

To the depths of this mind

And the void of the world

But I'm still breathing

Still fighting

Till everything stops spinning round

I needed something new

Searched high and low

For the thing I've been missing

Hiding from the world

And the darkness it holds

It's lonely drifting away

But there's safety

When there's no one around

To break you even more

There's a story to be told

There's a light shining through

I'll know it when I see it

When I find the words

To speak my mind

They'll be better days ahead

A darkness drifting away

A mind resting with ease

And a whole world at peace

We're searching for a way

To start over again

Make something new

Without starting from scratch

After Midnight

(Verse1)

Call me after midnight

Tell me it'll be alright

Eventhough

It'll never be the same

(Chorus)

We used to stay out

All night

Chasing fireflies

Fighting the sandman

With tape on our eyes

We felt alive

Losing our minds

Never thought

We'd fall apart

So easily

We had it all

(Verse 2)

The fallout

Burned out

The entire sky

Ashes falling everywhere

But we move on

All the same

Nothings changed

I'm still here

But we dont speak, anymore

(Bridge)

I've been

Getting out of this head

Biding my time

Till I say goodbye

Cause I moved on

I'm happier now

Living with the memories

We once had

Stronger On My Own

You weren't there

When I was broken

But I glued the pieces

Back together

It's not fair

But it was worth it

To see it never really mattered

Cause I was stronger

On my own

Made it through

When I thought

I lost it all

Perseverance

My only friend

Ghosted everyone

To see I was the only one

I survived the hell

Inside this head

Survived the demons

That made me dread

The little things

That gave me life

It was well worth

The fight

I told the lie

That I was alright

No one could save me

Cause I didn't know how

I thought you'd always be there

But you left in the cold

At the first sign of doubt

But it's alright

I turned out fine

Stronger on my own

Cause I taught myself

To never stand down
