I see you
In my dreams...

When the light fades to dark
Then the truth can be seen...

Emotional sobriety is harder than it looks.
I cant let myself fall off the wagon again...

They tear me down until there is nothing left
Rip everything out, but leave regret...

Loved ones scatter like petals from a flower
Like a forgotten memory slowly fades...

Face Value
Everyone seems so proud...

I lie awake to the memories of my disgrace
Imperfections thrown back in my face...

"Hey, I'm feeling tired. My time is gone...
You flirt with suicide, Sometimes that's okay...

Seed in the soil
hopeful and youthful...

When I hear or see that you are happy,
I get angry that you are not miserable like me...

The petals wither from my palm
Like my friends who are now long gone...
