Brighter Days

Before I met you, my life was a mess
Changing from one pill and onto the next
Years and years of constant struggle
Never knowing when I'll fully recover
Since you came along, you've given me hope
Something to live for, instead of hanging from a rope
My days are brighter with you around
And maybe one day I'll stop feeling down
You help balance my life and keep it in order
Even if it means fucking with the law though
I embrace all sides of you and accept your baggage
I just hope you can forgive me for my language

Stolen Innocence

Hiding in the back room, she prayed to God that they wouldn't find her
Thinking of different ways that she could get out of there
She starts hearing footsteps and tries not to cry
Hoping that they hear nothing and just pass her by
She wasn't like all the other kids her age
Instead of being pure, her heart was filling with rage
They fucked with her head and left mental scars
Now all she wants is for them to be behind bars
That shy, little girl that used to be innocent
Is all grown up now and moved on to better things

Memory Lane

Walking down memory lane, I come across a familiar place from my past
Stunned at the fact time flew by so fast
It's been a while since I have been there
But it looks almost exactly the same as I remember
Memories flood back and my emotions take over
Thinking of all the wasted time that I spent there
Brainwashed and naive, I go along with what they say
Believing that it was God's way, the only way
If I could turn back time, I would take back my dignity
They don't deserve to get away with what they fucking did to me

Haunted Memories

As I look back on my younger days
I am reminded of all the years that have gone to waste
People change and life goes on
But I will never forget those who have done me wrong
They haunt me in my dreams, terrorize me and rob me of my freedom
Leaving me wondering if I ever even needed them
Often feeling sick and tired
These sleepless nights are keeping me wired
I turn to alcohol in attempt to drown my fear
But it only seems to make it harder to think clear
The pills start to kick in and my vision turns blurry
Waiting for the darkness to take over and choke me
Crossing my fingers I'll make it through the night
Without constantly waking up in fear of my life
Their shadows stand over me as I drift off to sleep
Knowing that I'm already in far too deep

Dark Days

They brought out my dark side, without even knowing
All this time passes and still no one asks how I'm going
Suffocating in their beliefs of what they thought was right and wrong
Never really feeling like I truly belong
I lose my train of thought and my mind starts to wander
Relieved that they can't keep me quiet any longer
Stripping me of my innocence and youth
I am finally able to open up and tell people the truth
They will pay for their wrong doings, one day when they least expect
Leaving me with feelings of no regret
My mind becomes clear about what needs to be done
Even if it means living life on the run
