Danger Prone

I'm moving on cuz I'm fine now
The pools in your eyes have dried and died out
Erase your notes with whiteout
The only thing you've ever know is lying and lying down
Do you care that I can't get to sleep
You're a thief and a cheat, I was down and was beat
Those secrets you keep you should be more discrete
Cuz the people you sleep with will eat at your dreams
And I'm still bitter but I'm doing better
I held on through the inclement weather
Tell me, do you know how it feel to be left for dead and left in a shredder?
Took your degree to all me everything that you diagnose
Then do some scum shit right under my nose
In my own home you could've left me alone but no
You had to have it your own way
I feel my best when I'm feeling alone
You left me on my own and called me "Danger prone"
Well good riddance cuz your worth is debatable
I wont regret that I'm just not relatable
And I remember that one time at the bar I left you tongue tied
You were bearing your teeth and your eyes said you were trapped in a corner
An empty bottle's not a spy glass, just clear your head
And I was getting in your way, keeping you from sleep
Never letting you live down your mistakes
So I guess I'll take some of the blame
I hate the way you would treat, the moments we would keep
Down and beat, I was in defeat, but I wont let you conquer me
I won't be the one who suffers from all of this
You brought me back to life and I'm gonna take full advantage
Cuz you're the salt on a snow day
I feel my best when I'm feeling alone
You left me on my own and called me "Danger prone"
Well good riddance cuz your worth is debatable
I wont regret that I'm just not relatable
And I wont let you forget

You're so frail I hate almost all that you do
Hate that your words hold less weight than you do
And no matter what goes down you've always got an excuse
You're so undesirable when you're so damn demanding
But I got to admit I like you around when the night ends
You used to seem so simple and so beautiful to me
But now I can't quite tell if you're smiling
Or believe the things that slide past your teeth
So I went and said I'm sorry that this is so hard for me
She said "Do you even have any room left in your heart for me?"
And I said "Hell no"
And my friends all said I should "wait it out
Everything just needs some time, It'll turn out fine."
But the only thing that turned out was you
Turning tricks because you're just too
Hot and bothered, what would I bother with you?
The sweat that dripped off my nose
That feeling in your gut that made you tighten your toes
That look in your eyes that told me the lies
And all you should know about loving and letting go
Common decency seems contradictory
While the weak or asleep they covet their naïvety
It's label's misleading, at least so it seems
Though I've been searching I been hard pressed to find any
We all wanna be wanted in some way
Your Instagram won't get you onto a runway
You're not my worry and you're out of my head now
And I don't want you around
We all wanna be wanted in someway

Bitter but Better

Grinding my teeth, I'm getting all things out of my head
Adore the concept to scream you out of my chest
I'm having a hard time of having a hard time
With cement pressed up to my neck
Lately I've been starving
And I'm starting to eat at myself to fill the hunger
But everything that I gnaw on is decayed
And I know just what you'd say
I'm holding onto a fantasy
And it's not so good for my health
when I lay obsessed eating my regret
Lately I've been bitter but better
Gaining traction from ties I've severed
Tearing through all the obstacles in my way
Here's a song you can show your friends cuz I am still not over this
Tell them how immature I am cuz I am still not over this
You tried to lie and flip the script and I am still not over it
I am still not over this
Don't regress just accept cuz everyone will fall for something
The disrespect I'd expect from an everyday common person
I get wrecked when I expect that anyone will owe my something
So I'll fend for myself behind these walls I built
It was like parting seas when we parted ways
See it in my smile, see it in my face
Your udder lack of empathy is why we never got far
I was in a shallow grave, deeper than your thoughts are
If you can't make it out the cold
Then you'll just make it into your home
If you can't think on your own
Then you'll just do as your told
Here's a song you can show your friends cuz I am still not over this
Tell them how immature I am cuz I am still not over this
You tried to lie and flip the script and I am still not over it
I am still not over this
Don't regress just accept cuz everyone will fall for something
The disrespect I'd expect from an everyday common person
I get wrecked when I expect that anyone will owe my something
So I'll fend for myself behind these walls I built

I'm a Mess

And I was only twenty
It's funny how you were everything
You got to me while on top of me
Stop calling me I'm trying to fucking sleep
Pulled me in too deep when you pulled me into the sheets
Screaming "please give me attention, cuz I'm starving"
You used to sing Blink to me
I still like you when you were twenty-three
And I can't believe it's just me and my knees again
My friends all say "I guess it's safe to say she's a goddamn train-wreck"
You're a messy masterpiece with a touch of catastrophe
Your bad habits mirror mine and I don't feel so alone
If it reminds me of you, then today it's getting thrown out
To think I even ever let you in my house
The disrespect I'd expect from an everyday common bar skank but never you
Now you're out doing all the things that you swore that you'd never do
Swerving on the drive home, climbing through your window
Cuz you left your keys at the bar
The Sheraton Hotel told me I should let go but we had come so far
Fuck it felt like forever
Well I guess I'm a mess and I'm calling you again
Please don't hold it against me

Unsettled

I used to be afraid of monsters under my bed
I should've been more worried about the one sleeping next to me instead
Oh, this house is empty
You know you found out how to test me
You're dead or as far as I'm concerned
The fire in my chest has left me burned again
Well, I'm bitter but better, you applied the pressure
That made our relationship sever
So, I'm putting you on the benches
Because I had unsettled business
And cutting those ties for me
Are like cutting out my heartstrings
And lately I been failing
At least in this instance I can't win
So, I'll pack it up and I'll pack it in
I'm giving up cuz I'll never win I never did
You should've been warned I've seen greater storms
My headboards full of scratches
So they're always asking the questions
About who had left them, where she's been
And just what the hell happened
Evasive as always
I couldn't even bare to look you in the eye
I'm wasted as always
I couldn't even bare to tell another lie
So, I'm putting you on the benches
Because I had unsettled business
And cutting those ties for me
Are like cutting out my heartstrings
And lately I been failing
At least in this instance I can't win
So, I'll pack it up and I'll pack it in
I'm giving up cuz I'll never win I never did
I'm sinking into thinking that you placed all bets against me
And your nothing became something you must've been repressing
It's a pity you're so pretty, yet so very unstable
There's no course or recourse to pull your nose back up from the table
I'm wasted as always
So, I'm putting you on the benches
Because I had unsettled business
And cutting those ties for me
Are like cutting out my heartstrings
And lately I been failing
At least in this instance I can't win
So, I'll pack it up and I'll pack it in
I'm giving up cuz I'll never win I never did

Smoke and Mirrors

Reflections are hell bent on wearing me thin
The bags under my eyes carry the luggage from where I been
And I'm so sick of starting things over again
I never really wanted to say this
I never wanted to embrace this
I found an old box so let's see what's inside it
Fondness is weakness I think I should hide it
It's been decided, I wont try to fight it
Time can't be rewritten or be rewinded
Learning not earning, this life is a struggle
Desperately searching outside for rebuttals
Looking through tunnels while digging through rubble
Constant reminders of why to stay humble
It's so exhausting searching for words to say
Hearing advice and I just can't seem to relate
I'll blame the venom snakes left in my veins
Inspections directions are misguiding me
Everyday was always the same shit
So tired of always working the slave shift
Prevention of tension held inside of me
Flee the scene and go hit the pavement
Motivation from these brazen abrasions
Broken bones are poking holes they're tearing through my skin
The open wound allow you to let the compounds sink in
Smoke and mirrors never been clearer wont happen again
Comrades caution avoid the loss and I just never listen
It's so exhausting searching for words to say
Hearing advice and I just can't seem to relate
I'll blame the venom snakes left in my veins
You both deceived me. Believe me
I tried to put it all behind me and forget about it all
You grew complacent I been disgraced and I been lied to
You'll find that treason's the reason for this all
I wont let my suffering be all for nothing
Falling in place to fall apart
Everyone now knows who you are
Fair weather friend won't amends
I never really wanna see you again
