All alone
No one's home
Bag of bones
Just staring at the skin that I've shed
I'm on the brink
Need a drink
Now I'm sinking
Into the abyss of my head
So long oh conscience and hello hangover
It's such a shame
Can't explain
Life's a pain
When you finally come to see that it's a dead-end road
Caught in a whirlwind of petulance
And adolescent adrenaline
Then I blink and
It's over again
An out of place
Mental case
Getting wasted
Stumbling off my rocker again
I'm acting out
Just about
Blacking out now
With a little help from my friends
I probably won't remember tomorrow
What's the plan
Be a man
These demands
Make me want to revert to a childlike state
Nothing to invest my memory in
Only an incidental expense
Then I blink and
It's over again
What a mess
Must confess
My best guess is
Someone's playing games with my mind
Could it be
Possibly
Only me
That's looking where there's nothing to find
So much for happiness as an outcome
Now I'm twisted
And pissed
I insist that
Things are only going downhill from here
Completely void of all common sense
Dropping my final line of defense
Now i'm thinking...
...Ugh

I'm Still Outside

Can you hear my whisper
Coming from the unknown
Does your mind show you futures of what you seek
Or does it plague you with nightmares
Every night as you sleep
Restless mind fixated on changing what you've foreseen
I am with you
Even if you can't see me
Calling out your name through the ether that lies in between
I'm the puppet master
Always manipulating strings
To bend your will to a place of hate and suffering
Darkness becomes a shroud
And you wear it well
Construct a crimson blade
And exist in a private hell
I've made just for you
It's all for you
Embrace the path you've chose and do just what I tell you to
Fuck

Has-been with his head in a spin
This state that he's in
Has got him all tangled up
Time flies and she can't compromise
This feeling inside
Is just another excuse to give up
There's no need to accuse or blow up
You're just acting obtuse so shut up
All my words are misused
How could things have turned around so much?
Erase memories of her face
The time and the place
That left you all tangled up
His head aches as he thinks through mistake
The point where he breaks
Will do its best to get him to give up
And that's no way for a kid to end up
When you've been given more than enough
This time you've got no excuse
And I'm surprised that she's not sick of you
I wonder
Where things might go
Probably nowhere
At a pace too slow

Why do I keep sitting here waiting for something
What should I be doing with my
Time flies when you know you're in the throws fucking up
So I kneel and then I throw up
And down another cup
No time for getting off
Today
Why do I keep searching and searching for nothing
Where do I go to find my
Way back to needing something real
I've put them through enough
They do their best to hold me up
And my excuses aren't enough
These days
I'm still stuck hesitating
Can't stand sitting here waiting
When I don't even know what I'm waiting for
Honestly
So what if I'm agitated
This shit gets too frustrating
Second chances are never enhancing me
Where the hell is the plane that I need to be boarding
It's time to have the time of my
Life passes fast while you're busy with nothing
I've gotta sink if I can't swim
The sunlight is getting in
And I think it's time to begin
Today
I'm still stuck hesitating
Can't stand sitting here waiting
When I don't even know what I'm waiting for
Honestly
So what if I'm agitated
This shit gets too frustrating
Second chances are never enhancing me

Can we reset from where we started
Sense has all but been discarded
As if the world just bottomed out
(Did you notice)
Perpetuating life long doubt
(And you know this)
Forget the truth the world is changing
And all integrity is waning
What's the point of pressing on
(Is it worth it)
No matter what it turns out wrong
When you're down and feel lost in your life
Immerse yourself in a false sense of pride
It's easier to find the answers you like
Instead of what might be actually right
If no one matters then who chooses
What the most valid excuse is
We're only trying to understand
(What's happening)
Preparing for the big crash land
(It's happening)
When you're down and feel lost in your life
Immerse yourself in a false sense of pride
It's easier to find the answers you like
Instead of what might be actually right

I didn't do nothing wrong
But I'm on the floor now
How could it have come to this?
They broke in and broke my bong
I wish I could call my mom
But she can't get me out of it
And right now I'm hanging on
They fucked me but I'll be ok
Cause someday I'll be gone
I know someday I'll be back home
Recycled situations lead to normal outcomes
What less should you expect?
I would love to change my ways and make the most of all my days
But it's hard to pay my debts
And right now I'm hanging on
I fucked up but I'll be ok
Cause someday I'll be gone
I know someday I'll be back home
I know that someday I'll be gone
I know when to keep moving on
Recidivist
We've been over this...

I hate your guts
I think you suck
You make me sick
I want to puke and
Everything you say is nuts and
I hate your guts
Stop trying to tell me you know better
Because you've been around so long
You've spent your years complaining
Now everything is going wrong
I hate your guts
I think you suck
You make me sick
I want to puke and
Everything you say is nuts and
I hate your guts
Stop trying to tell me you're a victim
By acting so innocently
You say you're done manipulating
Well we'll have to wait and see
I hate your guts
And that's fucked

You're mistaking me
I'm not your enemy
Don't make this out to be something it's not
In actuality
You're just a wannabe'
Rewriting everything we've been taught
I'm no self-righteous son of a bitch
Pulling some half-assed bait and switch
Sometimes it might be better to quit
If you're not willing to mindlessly submit
Stop assessing me
Start thinking logically
Maybe work harder and fixing yourself
Responsibility
Not necessarily
I'm getting sick of your words in my mouth
Now what exactly do you want me to say
Should I just admit to acting this way
Maybe I'll be forgiven someday
Ah hell well what's the point anyway

Keeping On

Can't help feeling like drinking all the time
What am I doing
I habitually run across the line
What am I thinking
A bottle of whiskey is in my iron sites
Where is this going
God grant me safe passage for the night
Where am I at right now
I can't give up
No I'll never give up
Can't help feeling like thinking all the time
Where is this going
Lying to people and saying that I'm fine
Who am I fooling
A better life is in my iron sites
It's time to get started
Making peace so I can feel alright
Before I'm dearly departed
Cause I can't give up
No I'll never give up
I'll just keep on keeping on

I've been sitting here waiting for someone to pull me out of this funk
That she has put me in from too much TV and not enough melatonin
I've been out of town but not around anyway no success was found
Enemies frequently reminding me what I'm missing
I've been smoking all morning
And I've been high all afternoon
Smoked a fat one this morning
And now I don't want to go
Have we given up
If you ask me
Have we given up
Slackspree
Tell me something that I don't know tell me something relevant
Give me the confidence I need to do the things I can't
So I can find some freedom
So I can find a better way
Or maybe I'll sit here alone and waste my time for another day
Haven't smiled since this morning
And I've been down all afternoon
Haven't smoked since this morning
And I just wanna get stoned
Have we given up
If you ask me
Have we given up
If you ask me
Slackspree!
