It's quiet drives like this
That make me miss when everything was simple
The weight of the world had not began to cripple
Before the soil and the dirt made me loose my worth
And everything had meaning
We've lost all the meaning
So if swallowing my pride means swallowing these pills
Then I'll keep my pride and I'll swear to God
I'll find happiness by my own will
Cause I've been digging my own grave
And Wasting my own health
And the dirt under my finger nails says "I did this to myself"

I Trusted You

You call me a boy, but you failed to break me
And I'm more of a man than you ever could be
One day you will see just exactly what I mean
I watched the tables turn, It's not bitter it's just sweat
Respect and regard have lost their meaning
When you and your intentions
Are just so damn greedy
Why should I believe every single word
That articulated from your mouth
Why should I accept another insincere
Apologetic repeated line
When it's just one more knife stuck in my back
That I swear looks better in your stomach
For four years sake I'm gonna break you down
For every promise that you broke
And every line that you crossed
Every lie that you told straight through your teeth
For every stepped on broken dream
Now I'm splitting at my seams
Because you put your filthy hands on my everything
Respect and regard have lost their meaning
Your intentions were never gold
You took this beating heart
You turned it to cold stone
Why should I believe every single word
That articulated from your mouth
Why should I accept another insincere
Apologetic repeated line
When it's just one more knife stuck in my back
That I swear looks better in your stomach
For four years sake I'm gonna break you down
For four years sake I'm gonna break you down
(You wasted my time now your just another line)

Person Hell (Devil)

I found the devil in a girl with bright red hair
She turned my home into a personal hell
As far as I can tell I lost my sense
In a lustful crutch for a lack of self confidence
I blocked out the winter
And I drank away the spring
I couldn't get a grip on damn near anything
I chased away the pain as I chased down the wrong crown
My body went numb as I drank it all down
And every night spent drunk and passed out on the floor
Another lesson I chose to ignore
She is the devil that said she fell for me
And oh my God her deception, it taste so bitter sweet
Choke back the sorrows with the burn of alcohol
Scream to my self I never knew her at all
I'm at the bottom of this bottle
And I can't get out of my own head
I can't et out of my own head
Get me out of the awful mess that I got in (That I got in)
I'm letting you go cause you're the sweetest sin
The bid well letter has been sent and as far as I can tell
You'll wish me the best but you made my home this hell
I saw that look in her eyes
I should have known better but I didn't think twice
She is the devil that said she fell for me
And oh my God her deception taste so bitter sweet
Choke back the sorrows with the burn of alcohol
Scream to my self I never knew her at all
Knew her at all.

Dead Confidence

You're just like your mother, unstable and insecure
And I can't be the things your father never could be
When you grabbed me by the hand the devil grabbed you by yours
When I fell into you, I fell into him too
From soft skin to red stained lips, the places we had been
Never looking back but I won't forget
That October 29th was just a dead end
And after all you put me through
I never thought to love you less
You left me with a burden and a handful of sins to confess
And I confess to the 2 year chase
That's the biggest mistake that lead me no where fast
To the bottom of this bottle, and to a dead self confidence
I'll be okay
And I swear you're the hardest drug that I ever put into my veins
I got you under my skin and in my bloodstream
And Im addicted
And I swear to God I need your touch
And I swear to God I need your lust
But you're not enough of a crutch to hold me up
You're just enough of a drug to mess me up
You're not enough of a crutch to hold me up
And after all you put me through
I never thought to love you less
You left me with a burden and a handful of sins to confess
And I confess to the 2 year chase
That's the biggest mistake that lead me no where fast
To the bottom of this bottle, and to a dead self confidence
I'll be okay
I'll be okay

Back Porch

I hate that photograph of us
Sitting on the ouch
Cause it's the fakest thing that I have ever
Smiles ear to ear and eyes shining with gleam
But I know that It's not right no it's not right
If I've told you once then I've told you a thousand times
If this pictures worth a thousand words
Then it's worth a thousand lies
Sitting on my back porch
As the smoke fills up my lungs
And I'm quietly coming undone
But no one ever sees even though
There's always company
Cause I'll do what I do best
And bottle it up until I bust
I spent the summer listening to Brand New
Just to know that someone feels the way I do
I pace these steps on my back porch
With thoughts pulsating through my mind like
This could have been our house,
You could have had my heart
You said you loved him more
You said you loved him more
We could have had everything
It could have been you and me
You threw it all away
You threw it all away

I can't believe I drove that far
I found in you a fresh new start
I let you in I let down my guard
Lost confused I lost what's mine
You promised me a whole life time
The future that I saw only existed in my mind
Cause I was just a stupid little boy
And she was just a pretty little girl
I never knew what I got into
Oh I never knew
She's a lover at her best but a devil at her worse
The way she laid inside my bed
The way she got inside my head
Now cigarettes and alcohol are my only company
You pulled back your heart and kept the ring
You left me trembling
I got wrapped up in your world
Though I had finally found relief
But then your world became my noose
And I couldn't believe
That when you laid in bed with him
You kicked the chair from underneath
You left me swinging in my closet
Without and ounce of stability
It's sad but true I never really never really knew
I never knew, I never really knew
She's a lover at her best but a devil at her worse
The way she laid inside my bed
The way she got inside my head
Now cigarettes and alcohol are my only company
You pulled back your heart and kept the ring
You left me trembling
Please give me back my things
and I should probably just turn around and leave
Give me one last kiss goodbye where you fill nothing
Where part of me just turns to dust and dies
