Mirror
Lots of things that I did
That I just can’t take back.
Lot of things that I said
That I wish I never had.
Lot of mistakes made
Between the both of us;
Felt like things were great;
At least, we hoped it was.
Fightin’ endless every day;
It has broken us.
Really, what was the point?
The anger was just misplaced.
Now, we’re separated;
A frown upon my face,
Battlin’ internal demons alone,
When once, you were my savin’ grace.
Picture it now,
Seems like such a waste.
I would’ve died for you,
Taken a bullet to know you’re safe.
I feel I just fuck shit up;
Now back to the same old place.
Looking at my reflection in the mirror,
But what I see, I hate.
Love You
I know that we said
We could just be friends,
But how can I
Keep up this pretense?
It seems to be tense.
Don’t want no reasons.
I’ll keep on wishin’
It’s only for a season.
I need your warmth,
‘Cause I’m kinda freezin’.
Soul started first;
Heart commited treason.
Sit real close; ouch,
Man that’s just teasin’ —
Salt in the wound.
Next thing I know: I’m bleedin’.
Your love — I feel I need it.
Dwellin’ on the things that we did.
But lonely has started seedin’,
And depression slowly seeps in.
Happy and depressed — I’m in-betweenin’.
My mood has just been swingin’.
My tongue, those words are leavin’
‘Cause that’s still how I’m feelin’…
I love you…
Family Two
I have to do dishes tonight.
I take a look at that sharp knife.
I contemplate taking my life.
Feel like they don’t even want me alive.
All I do is ruin everyone’s lives.
You wanna stab me? Alright.
Blow out my brains? Okay.
You’re just two-faced anyway.
Threaten me is what you wanna do?
Take it from me: you should follow through.
But you ain’t got none the guts, do you?
Do somethin’; your words are over-due.
Go ahead — get your gun and fuckin’ shoot.
No one fuckin’ likes me anywho.
You’ve made that quite clear to me
When you said I ruin this family.
That’s why I have one without you.
Lemme introduce Family Two.
I love them, you hate them;
But you ain’t got a clue.
Everyday, I wake up
Feelin’ unwanted, unloved,
Feelin’ like a lame, worthless piece of crap.
But guess what?
Family Two doesn’t make me feel like trash.
Family doesn’t bring down their own,
But that’s exactly what you do.
Family Two has never done that to me;
That’s why Family Two is true,
Very much unlike you.
