Does anyone love me?
Does anyone care?
I don't know

Sad Existence

Stare at my phone to see if
I have any form of validation
I hope to God that maybe I'd get
Some response to prove it's
All worth it
But alas, I sit here
Staring off into
Nowhere
As my days turn into years
I look back at my
Sad existence
You're so sweet
You melt like candy in their mouths
How I wish I could be that
I'm told that comparison's a steel trap
Maybe I should find my own path
But alas, I sit here
Staring off into
Nowhere
As my days turn into years
I look back at my
Sad existence

Hello I am addicted to pain
I'll take the slightest look and twist it in my head
Ill overthink about what you said
and use it to be a reason you wont be a friend
Until self sabotage is what I have left
I hear the reverberation tick off the clock you see
but I feel you observing
Back is sticking to my shirt, fearing what you'll think of me
Grip; Don't let me go
I know the words you say when I been absent
at least thats what I say to my reflection
Ill blame the whole world till I'm alone, then blame myself too just to drive it in more
A masochist until my very last breath
I hear the reverberation tick off the clock you see
but I feel you observing
Back is sticking to my shirt, fearing what you'll think of me
Grip; Don't let me go
You say there will be another day
But my breaths not stabilizing
You say there will be another day
But wheres the proof to back your theory
I hear the reverberation tick off the clock you see
but I feel you observing
Back is sticking to my shirt, fearing what you'll think of me
Grip; Don't let me go

To Each Their Own
04:01

I was taught a lesson long ago before you made your mark
Letting go is the only way to know where is your aching heart
People come and then they go and thats why I close off my heart and soul
but my bad attitude should be the first thing to go
I must have stepped into the Twilight Zone
because I am going stupid crazy now that you're gone
And I know that you would disagree and I will move on
but with that I'll say, "to each their own"
It's hard to say if its a fire that burns or a peace after the storm
When its usually all of the above that plagues my needy heart
People come and then they go and thats why I close off my heart and soul
but my bad attitude should be the first thing to go
I must have stepped into the Twilight Zone
because I am going stupid crazy now that you're gone
And I know that you would disagree and I will move on
but with that I'll say, "to each their own"
Making memories jus to watch them escape me
What a sore to be heard, when it just drops like a rock
Changing perspective to love you more than I love me
What a sore to know it's not all just talk (repeat)
I must have stepped into the Twilight Zone
because I am going stupid crazy now that you're gone
And I know that you would disagree and I will move on
but with that I'll say, "to each their own"

You

You wait in line just to catch his eye
You cant hide
I know how you feel inside
You go ahead and take your clothes off
Then you learn that's not how you find love
Take a number just to wait for your slot
Then you wake up in the morning and you feel shot
Came to the pressure but its not what you want
You know he's only after what you got
but you went ahead and now you want to go and find a rock
You try to build your life upon a lie
You can't hide
I have watched you cry
You go ahead and take your clothes off
Then you learn that's not how you find love
Take a number just to wait for your slot
Then you wake up in the morning and you feel shot
Came to the pressure but its not what you want
You know he's only after what you got
but you went ahead and now you want to go and find a rock
His attention feels like a blessing
but its really you thats missing
You can escape the cycle, babe, sooner than you think
When you finally look in the mirror and see that girl that much clearer
You'll be surprised at the love you find inside
You go ahead and take your clothes off
Then you learn that's not how you find love
Take a number just to wait for your slot
Then you wake up in the morning and you feel shot
Came to the pressure but its not what you want
You know he's only after what you got
but you went ahead and now you want to go and find a rock

When I Knew Ya
04:33

It's been more than a minute, since I've seen your face around
And from what I'm hearing, it seems you're doing well
Recalling all the times, sailing on the river as the sun shines in our eyes
It's been more than a minute
But it's good to see you thrive
Looking back at all the sweet nostalgia
Capturing our past with my mental camera
I reminisce back to when I knew ya
It's been more than a minute
Since you'd pick me up as I fell
Though you're not here in the present
It was you who knew me well
Recalling all the times we would laugh till the tears fell out our eyes
Looking back at all the sweet nostalgia
Capturing our past with my mental camera
I reminisce back to when I knew ya

The seasons come and then they go
Your temper's hot as summer
The consultation that you've heard;
you're trying to keep it together
It'll take some time for the grief to finally cease
know your mind doesn't give you much room for peace
When you hear this out my mouth your hate will increase
I wont try to lie we both know that you want to die
You know that you're not very good at trying to hide
When you hear this out my mouth, you'll want to shut me out
That pill has been hard to take for a while
Your eyes don't match up with your smile
You'll escape when you let go of denial (repeat)
The seasons come and then they go
Your temper's hot as summer
The consultation that you've heard;
you're trying to keep it together
You'll use your head and get it right
But don't tell me you'll never be alright
The seasons come and then they go
You are not labeled unstable
It'll be a while before you get on your feet
Know you toss n turn in your bed when you try to sleep
You hear this out my mouth
It sounds bittersweet
I don't think you're dramatizing, making up fantasies
I been there once or twice, wont you look at me?
You hear this out my mouth it sounds like deceit.
Letting Him come take over seems to be wild
Letting go, trusting unknown things like a child
Finally seeing our Love reconciled
Don't you know I've waited a while? (repeat)
The seasons come and then they go
Your temper's hot as summer
The consultation that you've heard;
you're trying to keep it together
You'll use your head and get it right
But don't tell me you'll never be alright
The seasons come and then they go
You are not labeled unstable

I know you're busy out in L.A.
I know you got your girlfriend
at least that's what they say
I know I left you lonely
I know I was afraid
I know I'm quick hesitate
It doesn't matter anymore anyway
I try replacing the step i made but i cant espcase this path that ive created
i try blocking out the pain I made but tonight I will lie awake in silence
So Busy
I know you're busy, out selling your soul.
I know you couldn't help it,
you had to chase it some more
I know you like the feeling,
the rush through your veins
and I don't blame you cause I'd do the same.
I try replacing the steps that i made but i cant
I try rewriting the time but i cant erase it
I guess I'll have to face it
So Busy
I know you've been busy and you're never alone
I know you've been busy now you're off on your own
I know you've been busy and you don't answer your phone
I know you've been busy
(Im running from the dead of the night, see it through my eyes)
Don't you think I know you're busy
(and I'm burning a candle at both ends)
So Busy

Sleeping Trees

I grasped on air, just trying to find the wind thats blowing never knowing why I'm here
I choked on lies, the truth flashing before my eyes
Spoon feed my mind
All my worries never happy, waiting to self destruct
Staying up through the night
Toss n turning; Hallucinations feeding off of me
Hoping to escape to reality
Eyes wide with my head up high
Forget the pain and strife
Now I know it's time
To embrace the Daylight!
Can't get it out of my head, my hearts beating right out of my chest
Breaking down into cold sweats feeling more nervous
Push it away from the surface
I'm deciding to stand tall today
I walked on fire
My new reflection in the mirror i once feared so, says a lot
I gained some strength to overcome the ache
Staying up through the night
Toss n turning; Hallucinations feeding off of me
Hoping to escape to reality
Can't get it out of my head, my hearts beating right out of my chest
Breaking down into cold sweats feeling more nervous
Push it away from the surface
I'm deciding to stand tall today
At times I used think that I was nobody
I couldn't see the life that was bursting out of me
At times i used to wish that I would fall asleep
And laugh at life among the dead
Sometimes I dream that I could be happy in the end
I know with time, my heart will mend
No
Won't have these thoughts no more
I choose the melody of my score

Can't Be Broken

Feel the weight that's been lifted off of me
Finally soaring, cause I feel so free
Spend your time trying to get to me
Must have taken up all of your energy
I've fallen down, but ill get up
Must have forgot I can't be broken
Ill wipe my brow and tough it up
Must have forgot I cant be broken
You try to break me down but Im made of armor now
Im over it
Look at me now
Must have forgot I can't be broken
Cant you see you really crossed the line?
Wanting to torture out of spite
It must be hard to watch things crash and burn
Maybe this time you will learn
I've fallen down, but ill get up
Must have forgot I can't be broken
Ill wipe my brow and tough it up
Must have forgot I cant be broken
You try to break me down but Im made of armor now
Im over it
Look at me now
Must have forgot I can't be broken
