im so sick of not knowing what is right
I wanna leave here and leave you out of my sight
I just cant take this anymore
I dont know about you but I haven't been keeping score
letting go aint so easy
like a piece of glass stuck in your skin
I dunno why you gotta frame it
like someone has to win
good god man you sound like youre in AA
so what if I am
Im so sick of holding on
I wanna believe it but I cant

there's been an evil thing inside me
since I was 15 and I wanna be free
but i dont know how to
let it out
ok maybe he hit me
ok maybe he touched me
but Im not sure thats all it is
sometimes i wonder if i can change
i wanna feel the weight of the sky
on my skin like I used to
before i realize these things
aren't ok
i wanna sit and watch the tv
and not feel anything
i dont know what freedom feels like
but I imagine it feels ok
why cant I say I dont love you
I hate that I still dont want to hurt you

beat down and drowned

back in the day we used to ride on bikes all day
and talk about how we fantasize
getting hit by trucks in the street
we were happier back then werent we
life beat us both down
but i didnt wanna watch you drown
I tried to lend a hand
but you wouldnt pull down
held me against the wall at the party
and kissed me on the lips
I felt your beard on my face and I wasnt sure if i liked
because you didnt ask me first

in the sun in the van I was ten when
you told me dad was leaving
back then I didnt understand
did you really think it was a good idea
to take me to his rehab
did you really think it was a good idea
to take me to his NA meetings
in the sun in the church parking lot
you were waving your shoes in the air
and screaming your head off
not again
i know looking back is always clearer
but im still bitter
