The Descendants " 'Merican "

Lost

I am lost.
I can't find my way
I'm swimming in sin
In blood and in gin
I can't find North
South. East, or West
I had the worst
But never the best
So now I take some time
To hang out with the rest.

Mistakes

The scars I hide
Ashamed to the core
The wounds I tried
To heal but they sore
The drugs I find
To keep the pain away
I just wish I had a minute
I just wish I had a day

Life How It Should Be

I stand in front of the audience
People watching as I stand here facing
Hundreds of faces staring back
Feedback pouring through my amp

My foot starts tapping as he starts singing
My hand starts strumming as I start feeling
Feelings that everyone is watching
Everyone is judging me waiting for me to fail

I can see myself now falling
Crumbling down up there on the stage
Everyone watching me fail
As I fall and fill with rage.

Fate

You brought us together
And tore us apart
You're here forever
After we depart
No one knows why
We live or die
Yet you keep it even
Through every season
You are the one
Who pokes fun
At all mankind
With chaos in mind
You are FATE

Competition

I can't stand these feelings
Of always competing
Always pushing for first place
And ending up last.

I don't know why its so hard
To can't drop this and go on
Just live our lives out
And never love again.

But we'll always be here
Shooting for first place
Holding each other back
From full glory.

Today

My writing might be shit
But at least it's from the heart
Writing down the truth
Til the end and from the start.
I can't write when I'm away from the one
But now that we're talking
No longer do I have to run

Goodbye Forever, I Won't Look Back

Autumn comes in slow and strong
The summer forgotten and long gone
I thought I loved you
But my thoughts often deceive
And now I know
You aren't the person I thought I could see
With your lies and your cheating
Your offspring never born
Playing on whichever side is winning
No matter how much you may be sinning
You do for yourself
and never for another
You failed at being a wife
I hope you can be a mother
You will find love
As I will with another
How many times did you make me lose hope?
How many times did I fall back on dope?
You made me want to die time and again
But you're the one who killed
Performed the mortal sin.

Sick II

The cells of health betray me
As I hover over porcelain
When a body has taken the toll
Of drugs and booze and sin
Only a matter of time until
I meet the antagonist of our Lord
In his fiery vengeance he will
Punish me for eternity
But any feeling is better than this one
The one of a body's betrayal
