The Sinner's Life

Waiting outside, we were all a little petrified.
I need to find an outlet for my cowardly demeanor.
I tried to become meaner, but my mirror told me I look better crying
and I'll deny the sinner's life just like it's going out of style, or I could take a drink or two and act like someone else for a while since no one here's responsible for me.
All jokes aside, we were all kind of terrified, but go ahead, blame me for all your pain. This still feels like the day you cursed my name.
Now I'm a fucked up version of a boy you called your own.
My pride is poison, and I'm swallowing it whole.
You couldn't wait anymore. I'm destined to be a stain on your bedroom floor. I could swear on my image twice that I'm worth more. If you still aren't happy, what am I for? I swore on my life I wouldn't hurt you- God's happy hands should be here any moment.
If time's supposed to heal my pain, and even a broken clock's right twice a day, why can't my heart find its way? Today I understand we're just the same.
Here's to being an obstacle, never feeling responsible. Sleepless nights here are terrible, guilt just makes it unbearable. You couldn't wait anymore.

Moon

Every single person that I meet tells me I could grow to be something special; I don't want to talk about me. Tell me, where have you gone to? How have you fared since? I've been fine, considering I can't find considerate souls and I'd just like to know how I could last this long without you here.
Will my sun starved skin find respite in the softened light of the evening?
Through an animalistic regression, the moonlight is what sets us free.
Lately it's been hard for me to sleep. I don't want to go if you won't come with me. Working hard to understand these emotions, and I'm far too dependent now, So far, warming up to your cold heart has ruined both of our lives and goes to show that even perfect love can fill our hearts with fear.
If the moon wouldn't mind tearing down the Summer sun, maybe I'd be free to howl all I want.
If the moon wouldn't mind tearing down the Summer sun, maybe I'd be free. I'd finally be free.

No you never gave a reason, but now everything's clear.
Call me one more time so I can shift the blame again.
I'm not the only thought swimming in your head, but I'd drown myself if I knew to what degree.
Call me your favorite. Show 'em how it's done. I don't want to be awake for it.
Am I the only one left showing you care? I don't want to be awake.
God knows I never lied. I've stated my case, erased your face, and this time has gone to waste. I know I loathe that boy living in my stead, but I'd love myself if I knew just who to be.

In Our Hands

We dragged this air in.
Is it my turn to learn what it's like to have been the golden descendant of a father who overstates his humility?
Oh this just may be a broken causation to see your feelings projected on me, but I just feel weak.
It's all in our hands now. You only brought me down. From a child who learned to lie, did you learn how to feel alive? I'm holding you to this, we never promised him. It's holding me hostage like all the little things that I kept away.
Where does the time go in a river that carries all the things that we've shown only to pages?
A fold interrupting flow.

Penance

All you gave was a little of your time, I wasted mine just carving out the path back home- and watching your impatience grow. Sweet solace, when we're there- we're there for good. Carving out our names right where we stood when we were alone.
I didn't feel healthy until you gave me a reason to.
And I wouldn't factor in my own life
when I'm trying to make things right
and I don't want to feel bad about it,
And I'm only here on a high, like the dream that you had last night.
Did you feel me?
Was I really there?
How did the wind feel the first time that you entered my room?
Did it smell of a calm day- when I'd left my clothes behind?
Did you feel at home?
These walls are mostly yours, you know,
They're covered in faint hints, and all of your favorites.
Are we painting a reason now?
