two: Off-Label Use
So this is where our story starts:
"Fill out the checklist in these charts.
On a scale of one to ten, how is your depression?"
There always seemed to be more to shove down my throat:
"Time to try a new one, or increase your dose..."
A.D.D.
I.E.P.
What the hell are they trying to label me?
...And those five days in Kennedy
I got tired of using it as an excuse
But I can't help to resent the abuse
That those fuckers tried to profit off of me and all the rest out there

The Double Shift

three: The Double Shift
Losing the ability to build something meaningful
Are we all just victims of neglect?
Two-income households needed to provide
Are we all just making up for lost time?
All the lines seem to turn gray
Why did you have to play favorites?
Every time I walked through that door
I never heard my name called out
You never could be proud of me
You always said that I would fail
A list of demands
and now your hands are up in the air
Distorted views of love
We all don't want to end up alone

four: The Last Time I Saw You
"You get so alone at times that it just makes sense"
"There are worse things than being alone" - Charles Bukowski
In the end we all separate from the ones we love:
"All we need to get through today is a view of something better"
- Ian Masino

You and Me

five: You and Me
Here were left to fill a void:
Separated in this night
I came and went
Left you for dead
Drove off
The last thing you said was:
"Maybe were both selfish"
(and maybe that was true...)
But we both knew it wasn't the end:
"I hope I can forgive you"
And it begins...

six: Your Son
If you think I'm going to give this up
When you say it's time to "grow up"
I won't listen to what you say
No shame for the life I live
No shame for the time I give
Don't you think I know there won't be money or fame?
Never cared
Never did
Don't expect me to give in
And you want to look down on me?
When I'm the one that's free?
One way to escape
I won't have your same miserable fate
And when it's time to leave again...
...you won't even know that I left
How can you expect me to stay?
The way you judge success is by how much you make
And each time I come back the same question's always asked:
"How much did you get paid?"

Every time you disappear
I know just why that you aren't here
Can we go back to when we were kids?
All they do is make you numb
You're missing out on everyone
I never though you'd end up this
You just couldn't handle life
The pills they became your vice
What happened to my best friend?
Only so much that I can give:
I fear the day I get the call and it's too late
It's too fucking late, kid
Only so much that I can give:
You just need (to find) your will to live
Just like I did

...At The Ending
01:44
|
|||
|
...and it begins at the ending:
Identities erased.
We can't go back we have to live with our mistakes
Lost.Insane.Alone. No sleep.
Can we be saved?
The talks and acts behind each others backs
Thoughts of death: is there nothing left?
One last shred of hope
Keeping our secrets
Forgiveness for the worst
Selfish needs, jealousy
When I thought I was finished I thought of all that surrounded me
and a voice said: you're not alone
is there hope for your case?
words of help fall on deaf ears
and i suffer the blame
promises made, i don't know if they'll be kept
is this the end?
all i know is that i survived again
all i know is that i still have my friends
and this pen
