Without Within

Just open up your eyes
See for yourself
Seventeen years in the fold
The rest spent running away
From people who do what their told
I’ve had my hell I’ve paid
I’ll never let my kid feel shame for being a human
Praying every night and waking up faithless
Protect your head from what’s without and what’s within

Fuck me for living.
What else can I say?
Even the sun shines on a dog's asshole some days
Even the sun
You can wait for a safe sign to come outside and play
But you'll never see another day in the sun
What am I to do when thoughts of you don't keep me sane?
They break the frame around my mind
Admit
Person or not, I've been trying
Oh what a shame
It’s bitter tasting, I guess..
Walking through the door, she’s taking off her coat
Now up into the bedroom, she's taking off her clothes
She's asking not to look while she climbs under the sheets
Then pulls up the covers just above her knees
This isn't how I thought life would be cause I had plans
And I can't wait 'til I wake up so I never have to see you or feel you again

No Filter

At worst we’ll do what we’ve always done
Get too drunk and hope for better lives when we wake up
Waking dreams like cigarette butts
The drag never lasts quite long enough
Reality close behind
Festering, eating my insides
Open my eyes
Push back the clouds
The sun in the sky brings me back down
Out of my head
Open the shades
If I can see past myself, it’s a beautiful day
No more wasted days
Like cigarette butts
No ash in the wind, no breath from my lungs is lost
I’ll open that door
Push into the crowd
Never stop running or laughing out loud
