Fade to Black

The room is dark with streams of light
Slumped in the corner without delight
His shirt is stained with bile of pain
Faces the trial of a convicted reign


Crawls to bed but knows not why
The loss has taken his reason to cry
Struggles to face the lined up days
Engulfed in a crowd but alone he stays


Saws away at the house blown down
The water rises as he starts to drown
Empty is the space they shared as own
Now she's gone and he's left alone


Slowly he stands to take the next
Pulled on up it says in text
Morning shines as he wears his shades
The grief subsides but never fades


On he moves and plans the phase
Washes away the tattooed haze
Smiles inside and stands straight up
Takes a sip from the half full cup

Unpretty

I wish I could tie you up in my shoes

Make you feel unpretty too

I was told I was beautiful

But what does that mean to you?

Look into the mirror, who's inside there

The one with the long hair

Same old me again today, yeah

My outsides look cool

My insides are blue

Everytime I think I'm through

It's because of you

I try different ways

But it's all the same

At the end of the day

I have myself to blame

I'm just trippin'

You can buy your hair if it won't grow

You can fix your nose if he says so

You can buy all the make-up

That M.A.C. can make, but if

You can't look inside you

Find out who am I to

Be in the position that make me feel

So damn unpretty

I'll make you feel unpretty too

Never insecure until I met you

Now I'm bein' stupid

I used to be so cute to me

Just a little bit skinny

Why do I look to all these things

To keep you happy

Maybe get rid of you

And then I'll get back to me, yeah

My outsides look cool

My insides are blue

Everytime I think I'm through

It's because of you

I try different ways

But it's all the same

At the end of the day

I have myself to blame

Can't believe I'm trippin'

You can buy your hair if it won't grow

You can fix your nose if he says so

You can buy all the make-up

That M.A.C. can make, but if

You can't look inside you

Find out who am I to

Be in the position that make me feel

So damn unpretty

My outsides look cool

My insides are blue

Everytime I think I'm through

It's because of you

I try different ways

But it's all the same

At the end of the day

I have myself to blame

I'm just trippin'

You can buy your hair if it won't grow

You can fix your nose if he says so

You can buy all the make-up

That M.A.C. can make, but if

You can't look inside you

Find out who am I to

Be in the position that make me feel

So damn unpretty

I'll make you feel unpretty too
