"Sticks and Stones"

Sticks and stones may break my bones,
Some words never die.
The hurtful words they always say,
Bring tears down her eyes.

"Black Canvases"

Black canvases,
White erasers,
Ideological,
Dream chasers.

I'm in the eye of the storm--
And I can't see myself out.
I'm surrounded by pain--
And a head full of doubts.

An ocean of tears
And a mountain
Of fears.

And it feels like trouble.

I want to be normal--
But what's normal at the end of the day?
I want to be normal--
But what's normal anyway?

"Why Don't You Rip My Heart Out?"

Why don't you rip my heart out?
And tear it into two.
I thought I was afraid--
But then I fell in love with you.

Why don't you rip my heart out?
And tear it into pieces.
I tried to stop the pain--
But it never ceases.

Why don't you rip my heart out?
And tear it apart.
I was a sweet and happy soul--
Until you broke my heart.

Why don't you rip my heart out?
And pull it from my chest.
I used to sleep easy--
Now, I can't even rest.

Why don't you rip my heart out?
And keep it when you're done.
I thought you were being serious--
But you were only having fun.

"I Left My Heart Out On the Floor"

I left my heart out on the floor--
I can't believe I left it there.

I left my heart out on the floor--
And you told me you didn't care.

I left my heart out on the floor--
Now, I can't find it anywhere.

I left my heart out on the floor--
And now it's covered in despair.

I left my heart out on the floor--
And you left it there.

"You Don't Love Me Anymore"

I left my heart out on the floor--
And you stepped on it.

You don't love me anymore--
Now, there's regret on it.

The pain and suffering--
Has neglect on it.

The pills and potions--
Have no effect on it.

Through painful times--
I reflect on it.

But Jesus loves me--
So, I try not to fret on it.

Things always get better--
So, I won't sweat on it.

"Never Understand"

I will never understand,
Why I lost it all.
I will never understand--
Why I had to fall.

I will never understand,
The need for debt.
I will never understand--
Why we live with regret.

"Don't Ask Me to Go Deep"

Don't ask me to go deep,
It's nothing but darkness there.
Don't ask me to go deep--
There's nothing but despair.

Don't ask me to go deep,
The pain's too much to bear.
Don't ask me to go deep--
Unless you truly care.

"Too Much Pressure"


Too much pressure,
I can't do it.
There you go,
I just blew it.
No edits in life,
You can't undo it.
You live to learn,
There's not much to it.

"Looking At the Past"

Looking at the past--
From a different place.
I can still see your smile,
And your pretty face.

"It Still Makes Me Sad" (part 2)

It still makes me sad,
That I believed in you.
And all I have are the scars--
Of what I've been through.

"It Still Makes Me Sad" (part 1)

It still makes me sad,
That it was a decision I had to make.
And though I'm getting through it--
It was a costly mistake.

What makes you special?
Or better than me?
How come your life,
Is totally free?

"Anxiety"

Why do I have anxiety?
And why is it so bad?
Why am I stuck in a place--
Of everything I had?

"My First Heartache"

Are we an item? Boy, quit playing.
We're just friends. What are you saying?
Say there's another and look right in my eyes--
Because my first heartache took me by surprise.

"I Don't Have The Heart"

I don't have the heart
To live.
So, what more--
Can I possibly give?

I'm sort of fucked up--
But it's okay somehow.
We never make it out alive--
Anyhow.

"(Letting Go) Hurts Like Hell"

I have to cry about it--
It's the only way I can let go.
It still hurts like hell,
I just thought I'd let you know.

"Make It, Take It, Fake It, Break It"

I don't think I'm a make it--
My soul just can't take it.
A smile, I can't fake it.
My heart, you can break it.

"Trauma"


Trauma, trauma--
Surrounded by drama.
It turns out you're ill,
Just like your mama.

"Break Down My Walls"

Break down my walls--
Go ahead and give it a try.
I'm not good with hellos,
And I hate a goodbye.

Break down my walls--
Go ahead and give it a try.
I'm not good with the pain,
And I hate when I cry.

Break down my walls--
Go ahead if you dare.
Tell me you love me,
Tell me you care.

Break down my walls--
Go ahead and give it a tear.
Judge me by my personality,
And not the clothes that I wear.

Break down my walls--
Go ahead and give it a try.
I thought I was outgoing,
Now it turns out I'm shy.

Break down my walls--
Go ahead and give it a try.
I'm extremely guarded,
I won't even lie.
