Growing Up: Slowly Walking The Steps Of Frankenstein.
No lyrics in this song....just utter terror.
The Boy Who Wanted To Fall Off The Face Of The Earth.
You thought you'd found a friend but instead a diesase, draining you of patience, for it's lack of self esteem will forever see your impressions of me change. I could have had it all today but I forgot your name. Self-pity? Depression? Another summers day? My mind is blank and I wish that it would rain. Fuck you all for loving me, for being there. Am I losing my mind? I don't care. I'm sick of listening to myself. I've heard this joke before. The punchline never changes and its not getting any funnier. Fuck the world, determined to face life alone. Gained the strength, I made a fair trade of my soul. Infatuation? Obsession? Just another way to try to justify my character change? Happily determined to tear my own life apart. I'm gone in mind but here in heart. Paint me undesired. I want to be forgotten. Erase my name from memory. Leave my place in your life devoid.
Everybody Dies.
"Divert your gaze away" is what the people said. "If you look at the world that way, you'll surely end up dead. If you look into my eyes, I will always be your friend. Take care of yourself, and we'll make it to the end." Everybody dies, and there's no coming back, it's just a part of life. What happens when we die? Is there nothing more for me? Is it the end of the world or in season like a tree? In the blink of an eye, do we all dissapear as we're fed to the ground and buried by the tears? In body and in mind, is there nothing more for me? The world can be so cruel sometimes, just turn on your T.V.
Broken.

Gypsy.
I remember when you died. I remember the way you lie by my side. I didn't want to say goodbye but I did and it made me cry because I can't recall a time without you in my life. I thought I could go on. I thought I could be strong. I'd probably given up if I thought that's what you wanted. And now I wish you were here so you could see me stand on my own. Now I wish you were here. I'd like to follow you but now's not my time to go. I've learned to live my life. I survived saying goodbye. Gotten used to the empty house and the ghosts you left behind. Best friend I could have had. I never could stay mad. I look at all my pictures of you and it keeps me coming back. Part of my family for thirteen long years. A part of my life forever.
