I try to be good, but I know
I’m just bad and ugly
I try to keep my friends close
But I’m just so sad and lowly
I try to be good, but I know
My mind it takes me places
I try to be here for you
But I’m so sick of what I’ve become
You’re too close to see
All the darkness within me
You’re too close to see the bad side
You’re too close to see all the darkness
So I’ll let regret fill my bones
And I will sink just like a stone
And I’ll wade into the quiet of the stream
Cause there’s no hope for someone like me
I can’t remember when
I lost sight of everything
But every time you smile
My heart still stops for a while
You’re too close to see
All the darkness within me
You’re too close to see the bad side
You’re too close to see all the darkness
So I’ll let regret fills my bones
And I will sink just like a stone
And I’ll wade into the quiet of the stream
Cause there’s no hope for someone like me
If there’s no hope for me
Then what do my kids have to look forward to
If there’s no hope for me
Then are you better off alone
So I’ll let regret fills my bones
And I will sink just like a stone
And I’ll wade into the quiet of the stream
Cause there’s no hope for someone like me
No there’s no hope for someone like me

The feeling of failure haunts me
I go through the day feeling less than
While I watch people get more and more
Just need a little give to even the score
Didn’t even realise
That I didn’t love myself
Ingrained thoughts telling me
You will leave if I don’t look like someone else
Always second best
Always second choice.
I’m a mess and I’m sorry
All I know is this much is true,
The worst hating always ends up
Subconsciously you
The world feels a little different
At each end of the scale.
The world is so inconsistent
Deep breath in, exhale.
The routine of nights left alone
When they leave you down on yourself
And you can’t bare being around all that beauty.
Always second best
Always second choice
I’m a wreck and I’m sorry
All I know is this much is true,
The worst shaming always ends up
Subconsciously you
Like I’m living in slow motion
There is nothing I can do
Bleeding out in slow motion
Trying to see this thing through
I’m a mess and I’m sorry
All I know is this much is true,
The worst hating always ends up
Subconsciously you

The town I’ve been livin’
Has slowly been killin’ me
I’ve done my time and it’s taken it’s toll
I can’t seem to get this right
I’ve tried a thousand fuckin’ times
I don’t think I’ll ever be sane
But I’ll just pretend to be
For those I love around me
I was born on a dead-end road
With no way but the unknown
Nothing gold can stay
That’s what they always say
I ain’t leaving for long
The first week will be the hardest
I’m sorry if I come across heartless
I don’t mean it I hope you know
I just pretend to be
For those I love around me
I was born on a dead-end road
With no way but the unknown
But I’ll just pretend to be
For those I love around me
I was born on a dead-end road
With no way but the unknown
And I’ll just pretend to be
For those I love around me
I was born on a dead-end road
With no way but the unknown

Occam's razor cut me deep
Cause I’m to blame for everything
The dark cloud that never ceased
I’ve always been the black sheep
Sometimes I wonder
If I feel anything at all
Or am I stuck under
A curse from when I was born
I will never
Have the life I always wanted
That was taken long ago
And all I’ve learnt in these long years
Is that you die in your own arms
So I keep roving
With no real point of anything
And all I see is suffering
Most of it caused by me
I will never
Have the life I always wanted
That was taken long ago
And all I’ve learnt in these long years
Is that you die in your own arms
I’ve found it easier to dig a hole
Than to let it go
I’ve found it easier to dig a hole
Than to let you go
I will never
Have the life I always wanted
That was taken long ago
And all I’ve learnt in these long years
Is that you die in your own arms
That you die in your own arms

I took my final breath
From where my body was left
As the sand and mud
Mixes with my blood
I didn’t think you had it in you
To put a bullet in the chest
Of someone you claimed to love
And I will stay between the living and the dead
And I will haunt you my old friend
I will wait your entire life
No, I will not leave your side
Until the god lord shows you grace
You cannot escape my undying hate
I’ve got to be honest
I was not ready to die just yet
But greed will make a mess of everything
And I will stay between the living and the dead
And I will haunt you my old friend
I will wait your entire life
No, I will not leave your side
Until the god lord shows you grace
You cannot escape my undying hate
And I will wait your entire life
No, I will not leave your side
Until the god lord shows you grace
You cannot escape my undying hate

I Owe You Everything

Tell it to me straight
I can’t wait another day
I am the sum of all your pain
I wish I could take it all away
I know you’re stronger
Than you know
You are perfect from head to toe
I’m certain from this we will grow
If I’m honest with myself
You deserve anybody else,
Anybody else
As long as you say so
We will be just fine
I just don’t know what to do
I ain’t no good at comforting you
If I’m honest with myself
You deserve anybody else
And if I’m honest with myself
You deserve anybody else
And I always manage
To make it worse
And I guess that’s
My curse
If I’m honest with myself
You deserve anybody else
And if I’m honest with myself
You deserve anybody else,
Anybody else

One more season then I’m done
There comes a time when this stops being fun
One let down after another
I don’t think I can take one more summer
And you know
Nothing about this is ok
You keep talking but got nothing to say
I’ve got half a mind to make you pay
Some day
Pay in some way
One more season then I’m gone
I’ll leave behind everything and everyone
Sick of grievin’ just because
You’re alright dealing with all out loss
And you know
Nothing about this is ok
You keep talking but got nothing to say
I’ve got half a mind to make you pay
Some day
Pay in some way
I’ve been trying now for years
And I’ve shed enough tears
I keep trying my best
my best wasn’t good enough for the rest
Nothing about this is ok
You keep talking but got nothing to say
I’ve got half a mind to make you pay
Some day
Pay in some way

It’s not just tonight
I’ve got my father’s evil running through my veins
But I try my hardest to keep it contained
And my only love died long ago
And I’m trying to find out where to go
But it’s been decades since I’ve seen the rising sun
And I always try and look on the bright side
We both know it’s a lie
I think about it every night
And I couldn’t change you
now we’re apart forever
And I know that I should
Just get on with living
But I don’t want to live
In this world without you now you’re gone
But I only see darkness for the nights ahead
So I’ll greet the sun like an old friend
I’ve done worse things than you can think
Every time someone tried to end my life
I hope they would succeed every time
And I always try and look on the bright side
We both know it’s a lie
I think about it every night
And I couldn’t change you
now we’re apart forever
And I know that I should
Just get on with living
But I don’t want to live
In this world without you now you’re gone
Every day the same dream
Every night the same nightmare
And I always try and look on the bright side
But we both know it’s a lie
I think about it every night
I couldn’t change you
Now we’re apart forever
And I know that I should
Just get on with living
But I don’t want to live
In this world without you
Now we both know it’s a lie
I think about it every night
And I couldn’t change you
Now we’re apart forever
And I know that I should
Just get on with living
But I don’t want to live
In this world without you
Now we both know it’s a lie
I think about it every night
I couldn’t change you
Now we’re apart forever
And I know I should just
Get on with living
But I don’t want to live
In this world without you now you’re gone

Walking down this dead end road
I’ll find nothing but the end of a rope
There is nothing I know for sure
Don’t come find me when I don’t make it back home
Cause I’m not worth it
And I can’t seem to walk the line
There is so much more
That I could have done
To keep you here
To keep you near
Walking down this dead end road
With a loaded gun and a head lacking hope
There is something I know for sure
The devil’s hands won’t let me make it back home
Cause I’m not worth it
And I can’t seem to walk the line
There is so much more
That I could have done
To keep you here
To keep you near
I’ll regret this
Till the day I die
And I know
That’s why you had to say goodbye

This warehouse work, has got me down
It’s hard to earn a crust in this old town
Oh I’m countin’ down, down the days
Till I can take my kin away
The whirlwind blows
This I know
And there ain’t no relieving
The pain of life
And all it’s strife
It’s hard to see it ending
I want to go to where no one knows my name
I’m sick and tired of all these petty games
I wanna lay down roots
Get dust on my boots
And play the day away
The whirlwind blows
This I know
And there ain’t no relieving
The pain of life
And all it’s strife
It’s hard to see it ending
I wanna put this whole town in my rear view mirror
And leave it all behind
I wanna put this whole town in my rear view mirror
And leave it all behind
I wanna put this whole town in my rear view mirror
And leave it all behind
The whirlwind blows
This I know
And there ain’t no relieving
The pain of life
And all it’s strife
It’s hard to see it ending
I wanna put this whole town in my rear view mirror
And leave it all behind sometime
