"Together" 02:34
Sometimes I wonder just how much could change in only two years and how the hell it got to be this way do you ever think about the times we shared? looking back on all of those nights I took for granted and all of the memories we could have shared makes me realize that I only have myself to blame and I'm sorry that I ever made you feel this way I just wish I could make you happy one last time and I cant believe that I ever made you feel this way before some words can never be unspoken some wounds were never meant to heal all that is left of us is a broken family and a heart that will not heal I can no longer remember how it feels to hold you in my arms the way it felt when I would tuck you in at night and I would know that everything was okay as long as your were here with me

When I drive by I see some things that couldn't be further away. A place where every emotion I've ever felt was created. A vision of a happiness I once had. The hallways echo with the laughter of my siblings and myself. Permanent footprints of love and compassion experienced over all of those precious years. Memories of home are now only fragments, born underwater, very little have i heard from my father. I didnt know that this would affect me later in life, but i wish i couldve fixed it. All i wanted, was to make you happy. And to this day i will never know why you left him I try harder, everyday to be closer, but theres still a missing piece A piece of the puzzle that should connect everything, but that piece is gone. That piece is forever gone. And now i wander through life, wondering what is right and what is wrong, without guidance. Its truly hard Now barely a word is spoken, i long for the memories that i hoped to share with you. But those memories have faded into nothing, those memories have faded into nothing. The spirit of my youth continues to walk the halls. A constant reminder that things weren't alwas as shitty as they are now

Grey Hair 02:52
It's so hard these days to be yourself originality collects like dust on a shelf I think that I've become part of this crime like the less fortunate I've become blind no one knows me for me, I've buried the truth and my father always said be true to yourself but my fathers ashamed every day so much that his hairs gone grey So lustful not for beauty but for acceptance so much that human emotion is absent My friends now call me an acquaintance so I'll reflect on myself with words words you'll hear in this song I can only put on a front and act calm but we all know that it won't last long like father like son they say but my father is ashamed of me everyday someone ignite the match and set me to flames so that I'll be the one to blame Because I am way off track this is not where I want to be and so I'll continue to sing forget me just leave me I'll continue to live in this dream times have changed and so have I why can't I feel alive my life is a lie and so is yours we are a dying world

The man that I'm supposed to be will never be what you see in me. I'm tired of feeling like a disappointment. I've tried time and time again to make you proud of me. But what else can I do? I'm sorry that I can't live up to your expectations. I am so tired of complaing of complaining about the same old shit. Why cant I find the answer? Why cant I just forget? That's why I dont get close to anyone. Ive tried my best to change it, but its easier this way

Frameworks 02:32
Take me back to the summer days when I still felt like I was alive sometimes it feels like things will never be the same again I am a disappointment in every aspect of my life and I cant keep trying to keep up with this world I don't think I am strong enough for that Take me back to where I was before I was ever born

P.S. 03:34
Are you proud of me? The son you raised? A father you should be, leaving me for days A father who was there but so far away The use of a substance that took you from me I just needed you here but you couldn't stay constantly choosing it over me was I not the high that you need? the home you left so empty and the sons that needed you dearly are just empty memories that will soon fade Our lives you affected in so many ways I'm sorry that I wasn't good enough for you to change I tried getting through to you constantly counting down the days until I could be a part of you again. My father who I looked up to I needed you but the substance had you to far gone you were to far gone please come back to me I need you to stay I hope it makes sense one day

Tuckoo 03:08
The hardest thing in writing this is knowing that you'll never get to hear it knowing that you'll never truly understand I am remember spending countless days with you days that I thought would never end maybe you never truly felt the same way that I did remember when we used to ride your parents bikes all the way to Jeffrey Mansion? you told me just how much I meant to you but I couldn't believe in it There's no use in longing for something that you cannot have but please tell me there's hope in something that I've had before and I am grateful for the consistency you have in your life that's something that I could never give to you If i'm not supposed to feel this way please tell me why it's stuck in my head it seems like everything I do isn't enough for me to feel the way I felt when I was close to you How many drives down the same road will it take to not feel numb to my surroundings?

Disremember 00:56
Look at what you've done. Two years have passed and I've grown numb. Hollowed out, unable to love. I've been searching for something long gone And it was something that only you could give. It's time to accept that. You were everything I needed and everything I'll never have. And so I'll live this hollow life without you. It's better off this way, I can't go back and change myself, and it's time to face the truth. Can you move on from shattered memories of bliss, or is it better to just forget?

July Day 03:27
I didn't know that July Day would be the last time that I could call you mine there's no use pretending that I couldn't see the end was coming I watched the passion drain from your eyes through all that time. You were always too good for me and I guess I never saw that I guess I couldn't piece it together And after all of the time we spent together I feel like it was all for nothing How could I see that this was all on me? You kept me guessing at your feelings and it tore me apart And now you're gone and what do I have to show? You made me feel completely alone. I didn't know that July Day would be the last time that I could call you mine there's no use in pretending that I couldn't see the end was coming I watched the passion drain from your eyes through all that time. Today I drove by you on the corner of King and Olentangy and I didn't feel a god damn thing and it tore me apart how can a relationship of two years amount to an encounter that isn't even worth the slightest acknowledgement? If it wasn't meant to be why does it hurt so much?
