10 years old when i finally accepted what was happening after a 5 year fall and winter you were never going back to spring i dont think ill ever know exactly when you slipped away from me but your leaves had lost their color, it was over for the evergreen one last time i see your face and im prompted by family ties to say my line my parents watch as im too afraid to say goodbye i cant say that it suddenly hurt more at the burying and i cant say there were roots that could hold up what they were carrying my mother said that it hurt less than losing her sibling but the cold froze her and left me so damn alone All of the dogs are aging And the text is fading On all the love letters You wrote so dearly Now you’re just a memory Kept six feet under A cruel reminder That nothing lasts forever The only recollection Of your funeral Being how cold your skin felt When i held your hand one last time So i’ll smoke my last cigarette And cling onto what was once there So i’ll smoke my last cigarette And cling so desperately onto what i once had one last time i see your face and im prompted by family ties to say my line my parents watch as im too afraid to say goodbye

It's never like the dreams transcribed All the time we climbed the vine Try to hide but it will shine Move the line, don't move aside Nevermind what it's about Rid my mind of pesky doubt Make it rhyme, and let it out Realize it's off your shoulders It's never like the dreams transcribed Don't deify, I won't let it slide Tell the lie, they'll call you shy Move the line, don't move aside Nevermind what it's about Rid my mind of pesky doubt Make it rhyme, and let it out Realize it's off your shoulders Just rest assured and hear me out Pay no mind and ride the route Read the line and sing it out You should know it's not your burden

Been stuck in static Feeling melodramatic And I Can't shake the feeling That I Will not be healing from these Melancholic day-to-day Activities I'm out of energy for finding my way out of this long broken method of dealing with the smallest problems Its a cycle That I don't wanna be stuck in For much longer Get high. Disassociate. And repeat. These psychotic tendencies are getting to me

Cigarette stained jacket Don't pretend, I know you never liked it I’m so on the nose You keep me on my toes Remember that thing you did with your hair And how I liked the fly-aways So you kept it with flaws and all Til the novelty faded away You know how I used to inhale that j The way you thought I looked so cool So i made sure to breathe with you But now I look like a tool I can’t get enough of your doting Even through all our fear and loathing Now all I get is that face The one that makes me feel so disgraced You wanted to wear my jacket The one that caught all the ashes But now it reeks of bud and cigarettes And now I’m just a fuckin mess
