Little distance, great change
I hoped this when I left
After my great escape, I learned
You only know how to stay the same
You drive over the bridges left burnt
Insult to injury is your new name
You still play all your same games
Now, you're always there
As much as an empty chair
I've got better places to be
I've got better places to go
So next time you let me down,
Just let me down slow
You've let me down again,
You let me frown again,
You let me drown again
This won't end until I'm in the ground and then...
And then...
And then what?
You try to control everyone else
But you can't control yourself
Once again, you've brought your anger
You feel as cold as a stranger
Still trying to intimidate me
Lost the power to sway me
But who could blame me?
I think you're going soft
You've lost your grip on me
Pretend you've still got it
And see how you look
I've got better places to be
I've got better places to go
So next time you let me down,
Just let me down slow
You've let me down again,
You let me frown again,
You let me drown again
This won't end until I'm in the ground and then...
And then...
And then what?
Then what...? Then what...? What do I do now??
What would you do if I died by your own hand?
If I held up a mirror would it help you understand?
All you see is your own beauty
But before me stands a beast
Won't you back up a little?
Some space to breathe, at least
But I find that your ego is as fragile
As a rose petal on the breeze
I've got better places to be
I've got better places to go
So next time you let me down,
Just let me down slow
You've let me down again,
You let me frown again,
You let me drown again
This won't end until I'm in the ground and then...
And then...
And then what?

Songs I Wrote
PoesíaHere are some songs I wrote. The ones that end in (Old Song) are ones I wrote when I was 14. They're not all that good, but I thought it'd be cool to have my old songs here alongside my new ones. I think it shows how much I've changed and improved...
