Between Hell & Home

This is a place
A place I knew I’d always be
A place I’d never get to sleep and there’s no space to breathe
A place where the desperate and anxious meet
I’m dead but my heart beats and I’m survived by grief
I can’t fix all my pain
Pretend it doesn’t exist
It’s always in control it’s never hit or miss
Every star in the sky
Is a forgotten gaze
It’s a forgotten face
A nightmare in its place
This is a fall from grace
Two lives combined
A break that’s intertwined
I want the days I smile and the days I cry to be my only life
Somewhere between hell and home
I’m caught between hell and home
I’ll mourn the loss of the person that I was
Because the man I am is not the man I know
A heart of gold is now hollow
Alive inside the shadows
And I just can’t let go
Somewhere between hell and home
I’m caught between hell and home

How many times I’ve told you I was fine
All the time I lied to your face
How many times I knew that you lied
I’m the only one that stands in my way
I never gave myself a chance
Never gave myself a chance
Tried to be someone that I never knew
I gave up everything
I’m left with nothing
It’s called a low point
It leaves you wanting
Never gave myself a chance
Force feed myself the lies that I’ve told
I am anxious
I breathless
I’m desperate
I’m lifeless
How many people attending my wake
My casket my funeral I’m slipping away
Now on my deathbed my futures at stake
There is no swan song I won't die today
I won’t die today
Descending through the layers of my consciousness
You know nothing about me…
A finger point to a crowd of sheep
Another level of hypocrisy
You know nothing about me
Keep screaming nothings wrong with me
The lie will always be reality
You know nothing about me

It took me almost 30 years
To learn how to cry without feeling shame
The greater the love the greater the grief
The same things are taken reality repeats
Held hostage by the past
Held hostage by the days
In absence of the light
I try to make sense of the chaos consuming
In absence of my mind
No one ever told me that grief feels so much like fear
I’m ready to unlearn
I’m ready to misunderstand
I’m ready to unlearn
Was this all part of the plan
All of your miracles prepare me for pain
I’ll mourn in my sleep to the sound of the rain
Are all the things I believe just a dream
Are they a dream when I want them to be
Look what you’ve done to me
I’m here to fucking end it
I don’t just live each day in endless grief
I live each day thinking about how consumed I am living each day in endless grief
Death and pain are the only things that keep me alive
Every moment in your life you should be ready to say goodbye
Embrace the anger
Embrace the pain
Embrace the hurt that you give to feel anything
Anger

There is no bargaining
I’ve seen everything I need to see
No more points of contention
Accepting this as my reality
I’m going with or without you
Set me free
I’m going with or without you
So bitter sweet
I’m going with or without you
Throw your stone
I’m going with or without you
Let me go
Who are you staring at me in the mirror
After all this time I thought you’d see me clearer
I recognize the eyes, but I don’t know the smile
I know you know me, the one you left behind
I told you that you’re dead to me I won’t see you again
I’ll do anything I can so I can win you back
But you can’t do enough, I told you there’s no bargaining
I’m not ready, I’ll never say goodbye
Begging
Didn’t see it coming
Didn’t brace for impact
I couldn’t shut you out
Begging
I’ll always have you
Reminding me of love
Preparing me for hate
Begging
A ghost that I know
A ghost a can hold
A ghost I can mourn
Begging
You’ll never stop me
You’ll never haunt me
I’m letting you go
Goodbye old friend
Goodbye old friend, so long and farewell

Grieving Into A Mirror
02:32

In life’s relentless dance we find despair
Yet in its brevity we seek what’s rare
Sweet moments woven in its fleeting grace
A miracle we hold in every in every embrace
Yesterday's whispers, today’s gentle plea
Tomorrow’s promise yet to be set free
Through struggles endured in suffering grasp
We emerge resilient in it’s clasp
Farewell’s echo, hearts heavy with pain
Yet love’s flame endures it’s eternal reign
Though words falter in expressing our truth
Our hearts beat loud in love’s unyielding youth
So let it be known to those held dear
In whispers soft with our voices clear
Though imperfect, our love's refrain
In every beat, it shall remain

Do you remember when
We had existence in the palm of our hands
We would do everything we wanted
There was no way to slow us down
A clear mind
Brings severed ties
I can’t
I can’t keep you around
I thought I’d have you forever
But I flew too close to the sun
Do you remember when
It was only us against the world
I decided to walk away
I know I’ll never see you again
Some things are best left in the hands of fate
I can’t
I can’t keep you around
I thought I’d have you forever
But I flew too close to the sun
The end of my world through two perspectives
This is what to do when you know the worst is coming
And I’ll be gone when you try and find me
This is what to do when you know the worst has come
Just say goodbye
It’s time to be alone
No one ever said it was going to be easy saying goodbye
Sometimes you have to burn the bridge you’re standing on
This is what to do when the worst is coming
Leave it to the hands of fate
I’m caught somewhere between hell and home while I live my life in denial of the fact that I have to let you go. When I walk I see fire and everything around me smells like smoke. I’ve spent too much time losing a beggars game. The hands I was dealt leave me picking up shards of glass while I stare grieving into a mirror. I no longer live with visions of two perspectives. The rest of my life, left in the hands of fate. Now I know what to do when the worst is coming.
