Lyrics:
You knew…
And you didn’t say anything.
You can’t…
Hide the pain you’re carrying.
I know this life
Is mine to make
But when I try
I give more than I can take…
As you raise your right hand
Or the belt from your waist
I wonder if you
Know what is taking place
You say the same words
She would always profuse
I wonder if she
heard them in her youth too…
You ask…
If I’m just finding out
That he…
Needs professional help?
I know his life
Is his to make
But if we don’t try
Things will not ever change
As he raised his right hand
Or the belt from his waist
I wonder if he
Knew what was taking place
He says the same words
She would always profuse
“This hurts me more than it hurts you.”
Bury their meaning
To the ocean floor
Carry the weight of
generations before.
(I won’t do it anymore.)
As I raise my hand
I know I’m staking my place
Stopping it here
So it can be replaced.
Not sure it’s right
But i know I refuse
to continue the hurt like you.

Car is My Escape (Demo)

Lyrics:
Race out the door,
Wont take on more,
Fumble my keys,
Throw my self in the seat.
In a rush
Smash the clutch
To the floor
Turn the engine over
Fly it around
Dull roaring sound.
This car is my escape
Music up as I drive away
This car is my escape
And I don’t care where we go.
Tires humming
Someone’s coming
Cant catch me now
Headed out of town.
Just for the night,
I’ll be back by light
Smash the clutch
Shift up, adjust
Fly it around
Dull roaring sound.
This car is my escape
Music up as I drive away
This car is my escape
And I don’t care where we go.
It’s like a cone of silence
To get away from your violence.
This car is my escape
Music up as I drive away
This car is my escape
And I don’t care where we go.

Lyrics:
Saw you tagged on my feed today,
Had to stop and take it in
Barely recognized you this way,
Is this how it all begins?
You got a cheap hat on
And a cane in your hand
I’m stuck here wondering
What happened to my old man
I can see the pain and shame
In your shoulders and wrists
You haven’t changed and bear the weight
Of your other sins.
I don’t remember much these days
Must’ve blocked it out
Some memories must fade away
But I’m facing them all right now
Saw you tagged and saw something new
It’s clear to me how
Years of lies can catch up with you
Just look at you now
You got a cheap hat on
And a cane in your hand
I’m stuck here wondering
What happened to my old man
I can see the pain and shame
In your shoulders and wrists
You haven’t changed and bear the weight
Of your other sins.
I don’t remember much these days
Must’ve blocked it out
Some memories must fade away
But I’m facing them all right now
I know you live on inside of me
But those are the parts I’m too scared to see
Not sure what it’s like from an outside view
I’m afraid I’ll turn out like you
I can see the pain and shame
In your shoulders and wrists
You haven’t changed and bear the weight
Of your other sins.
I don’t remember much these days
Must’ve blocked it out
One memory that will not fade
Is how you treated your spouse.

Lyrics:
Say it again to my face,
Say it and see if I’m the same.
Never could keep your stories straight,
Don’t worry I’ll wait.
Do you have a book of lies
To fall back on round this time,
When everything comes crashing down,
Do you even hear yourself?
Let me try one more thing
Fill the gap before I lose entirely
I wish I could help you to understand
you were who I wanted to be
I wish I could help you to understand,
all the pain you caused in me
Why don’t you seem to understand
You let me
down too many times
And I think it’s time for you to leave.
Say I’ve had too much today,
Always seems to go this way,
Remove myself so I don’t say
What I really think
Can’t you see it’s always you
At the center of every feud
Do you even want to change
Or is your sky always blue?
Let me try one more thing
Fill the gap before I lose entirely
I wish I could help you to understand
you were who I wanted to be
I wish I could help you to understand,
All the pain you caused in me
Why don’t you seem to understand
You let me
down too many times
And I think it’s time for you to leave.
Please, just leave.
You’ve done enough damage here.
This leaves me
Recovering for years.
I’m becoming,
Who I don’t wanna be
Why can’t you see?
I wish I could help you to understand
you were who I wanted to be
I wish I could help you to understand,
All the pain you caused in me
Why don’t you seem to understand
You let me
down too many times
And I think it’s time for you to leave.

Lyrics:
Separate
You from me.
Can I not want
Differently?
You pushed me through
all that you knew
Based on a hand
that was dealt to you.
Don’t think I like
the way you played
So I’ve taken time
to find another way.
Separate
You from me.
Can I not want
Differently?
Don’t try to say
This is just the way
I tried to be like you
But you led me astray.
Wonder if you
Can understand
When you are around
I can’t be who I am
(Solo)
And now that we’re older
And we’ve both changed
I can’t be in your life
Don’t see another way
I hope you get what you need
I’ll find what I can too
Can’t define love by what you want
But I still love you.
Separate
You from me.
Can I not want
Differently?
