this will be an acoustic.

If regrets were reflections, I'd be a parking lot
though I've paused my transgressions for fear that I've got
something more than life's lessons wrapped in a colored bow
I'm worth more than that peasant but now you'll never know
through chemical, through machine
through experience or dream
I came out without you but at least I came out clean
I know the meaning of love, I just forgot how
too obsessed with notions that we've had a drought
but who became traitor to all that they promised?
who threw in the towel and became dishonest?

to be continued, forever.

memory needles.

there's a constant rainstorm in my head
I buried her a week ago
every cold gust of wind makes me feel alive
and everything else doesn't

the days are now just dominoes to push over
nothing feels right, just familiar
I sleep on memory needles
and I'm weighed down by boulders

may I make it through one more year
you can bury me next to her
although she wouldn't want me there
the earth will hold my wishes

the pain is immeasurable in words
say what you will about my honesty
she's still out there somewhere, in the ground
happier than she was with me

I sleep on memory needles
they're poisoned with regret that never ends
I swear to god I'm dying inside
so bury me next to my love

there's only emotionless action now
the end result is my own doing
I took the one thing that mattered most
and I strangled it with my bare hands
