[Verse l} The skies covered by clouds and the rain starts to pour The thunder is all to loud, and it rains even more The mud beneath my feet begins to start and take form The tree's are bending and breaking in this unreal storm I try to find a place to take cover, I take the hand of my lover We run towards the old barn, Start a fire to stay warm I know we aren't going to make it, We hug I say it's okay and I love her _______________________________________________________________ [Verse ll - Preformed by EvolXYZ] She says I love you back.We walk towards the door that we latch.Pray for the best, but we expect the worst.This damn storm, when it rains it pours.Tornados. Earth shaking.The one thing i know, it hurts waiting.Not knowing. Lying to eachother.Saying that we'll be okay, it's not fine.We won't be. Don't lie I'm not blind.I just love you, well be fine.I just love you, well be fine.

[Verse l - Preformed by EvolXYZ] Constantly lost in lost thoughts, she's the devil. I'll never let her keep me down, that's my mental. So if I constantly say suicide. Know it's to reply, I'll break free from this madness. It's the burden of a sad king. Formed a. Chain link fence, all around my bad dreams. And I'm hopin' she could say please. Hit me up, and erase every said thing. But she won't, so I'll rise up. Ignore the pain, it's my bluff that I tied up. Why the fuck should I care for? The only girl I ever loved, wasn't there. for. Ashes and ashes, my pain to crush. She wasn't real, in my heart I trust. I'll get thru this, even if it kills me. Rise from the ground, building back up it thrills me. ___________________________________________________ [Verse ll] All you do is treat me like shit, but I'm going to stay strong Because me I will never quit, I've held on for this long So you won't ever tare me down, You're out of my head gone I will rise from out of this ground, And come back better then ever All you do is treat me like shit, but I'm going to stay strong All you are is full of hatred, but you won't ever steer me wrong I'm better then you in every way, I won't be defeated by you I'm not listening to a word you say, I will never do what you do All you do is treat me like shit, but I'm going to stay strong I will rise from out of this ground, and come back better then ever I'm happy you couldn't take me down, I won't listen to you not never You can't tare me down _____________________________________________________

[Verse l] Dear diary this is for me, Understand this just see See I'm my father's first son, born in the year 91 And then in 93 they had another one, my brother we always fought in 95 my parents broke up there done, they didn't love us so I thought So i thought life's hard I can't have fun, So hatred was all tied in a not I was angry at the world, I was angry at all of them 97 they gave it a shot, but it hardly lasted, time it just passed Things almost didn't seem real, And it's something hard to feel At that age how can you mange or deal, I think this is why I can't trust people Like I'm a package getting shipped back a fourth Living out of this fucking suitcase, turning into a fucking nutcase Moving every year place to place, So alone and trap in this cage How do you deal with all of that rage, So alone and there's no escape How do you deal with that at that age, how do you find your happy place Like my mom had a new guy, and my dad had a new girl I hated him and that place no lie, I had a hard time accepting it Dad worked 9 days away and home for 5 Sometimes when he'd leave I'd just cry Mom worked in a different town, so it was hard she wasn't around Babysat my brother most nights, we couldn't seem to not fight I think back and don't know why, maybe cuz I was alone and shy Never really could make friends, couldn't even make up pretends So I just got lost in video games, stayed up all night and play them Say I was sick and couldn't go to school, but really it's cuz people are cruel I think this is why I don't get close to people I don't believe in relationships, just one night stands and trips ______________________________________________________________ [Verse ll - Preformed by EvolXYZ] I try to blame you, as much as I can.but brutally and honestly, im not the same man.i tell everyone around, that it's all your fault.but truthfully, i gotta be the only one with doubt.With the wool over my eyes, it's kinda hard to act surprised.No point to lie anymore, we've met demise.It's gettin' hard to try, but ea-sier to write.i look inside your eyes, and see the darkest night.I thought I was Jaded, but look at what I've done.We coulda made it, if it wasn't for what you've become.You're tellin me, that I'm not the type your after.I guess it took three years to erase the, laughter.Pain and agony, yeah that's what I'm made of.Cliche as it is, I think there's still time to save us..but you just gave up, with no chance to make up.i hate these break ups, and the time it takes up...You'll never be what I need, and vice versa.You gotta prove in my life that your times worth somthnSee we're arguin' on a regular basis.It's like we have to fight every other day, shit...I can't take this, and I don't wanna hurt you more.The damage has been done, and both of our hearts have been torn.Suicidolizing every thought get's lame quick,But you just wait, till the day shifts and pain hits.I can't lie to you anymore, but i still choose to do so, and get pricked by lifes thorn.I'm done, and I'm tired of the contemplating.I'll let you win for the first time, I'll stop debatingPain and agony, yeah that's what I'm made of.Cliche as it is, I think there's still time to save us..but you just gave up, with no chance to make up.i hate these break ups, and the time it takes up.. _____________________________________________________________

[Verse l] To Whom it may concern This letter please do not burn I am at my breaking point I could break at this point To whom it may concern I'm so lost and can't be found I can't swim I'm about to drown I feel like a ghost in this town And I try not to get that down But it's hard when no one cares And life's tough It's not that far I'm screaming inside I just swear And I swear it won't take me And I swear it won't break me To whom it may concern I've lived and I have learned You can only trust yourself That's it and not anyone else You need to have your own back You need to show strength don't slack We work hard to live but in the end we die I don't understand it so I always ask why To whom it may concern Live life before you burn ____________________________________________________________ [Verse ll - Preformed by EvolXYZ] To whom it may concern.I've been losing this life. But I just do it in spite.So I don't choose to unite, with every demon inside.But I just choose to fake away the pain.To whom it may concern.I think I'm going insane.I feel it in plane sight.It's crazy like fake fights.I'm blocking the stage light.I'm dreaming, to aim high.You either face it or take flight.I'm hoping to age right, but honestly.That's about as far fetched as honesty.It's promising, but in the long run it's haunting me.Probably, you'll never read this in time.I just need you to keep it in mind.While I just preach to the blind.I couldn't keep you alive, so I just need to retry.To whom it may concernI hope you see through the lies...I'll never meet you in time.To whom it may concern.Live life before you burn. _____________________________________________________________

[Intro] He wakes up every morning and grabs the bottle And he doesn't stop drinking until it's hollow Always wishing that he doesn't see tomorrow _____________________________________________ [Intro - Preformed by Notebook] He wakes up every morning and grabs the bottle And he doesn't stop drinking until it's hollow Always wishing that he doesn't see tomorrow _____________________________________________ [Intro - Preformed by EvolXYZ] He wakes up every morning and grabs the bottle And he doesn't stop drinking until it's hollow Always wishing that he doesn't see tomorrow _____________________________________________ [Verse l - Preformed by Ellustrate] The bottles in his hand, he's staring at the hollow edge Reminds him of himself and how he needs the beer to swallow meds And now he's thinking of her and starts to chug He grabs a cigarette, he quit, but he sparks it up Fictitious happiness is all he knows, he soaks it up And wallows in self-pity with a smile embracing broken love Choking on the pain, dry-heaving from the misery Broken in the rain, eyes seeping but it isn't seen It's easier to smile when depressed So you'll see him laughing happily, not mildly upset But on the inside, he's all shattered into pieces So he washes it all down with beer, he's battered, no one sees it When he's in bed, he imagines someone's fucking her To only make it worse on himself that's hes inlove with her It's a vicious cycle, he'll do it all again He'll do the same thing, he says he wishes he was dead... _____________________________________________ [Verse ll - Preformed by EvolXYZ] I'll never leave.Cause I'm happy with the bottle.Happier it's gotta be.Inebriated hollow.Sleeping with the sorrowOf broken a heart we borrowed.I'm hoping that tomorrowI won't wake up.And you'll follow.I never thought that you'd leave.Cause it's bullshit.I didn't thinkThat I could keep pushing through it.I feel the pain and it's spiking through my side.Corroded liver, am I really still alive?I try my hardest just to say I'm fucking over you.But honestly I take a sip because it's overdue.I'm at the point where I don't miss youI just miss the booze.Late afternoon, time to wake up.But i'll hit snooze.But I'll hit snooze...Truth is, you're a fraud.I'm just misviewed.Just another day, I'm hoping I could slip through.I'm hoping I could slip through. ______________________________________________

[Verse l] We hug I say it's okay and I love her, the wind slams the barn door shut We grab some old blankets above her, we close are eyes to get some rest I open my eye's and were still alive, the barn's still intact to our surprise We stand up and we go walk outside, there's branches and tree's everywhere Puddles of water and it's all clear skies, and not far off a rainbow catches my eyes We walk back to our camp site, that we wondered from last night The tent's been blown away, and the others didn't stay But her smile just made my day, And I know we will be okay Cuz after the storm it's always a brighter day The day after a storm it's always okay ________________________________________________________________ [Verse ll - Preformed by EvolXYZ] I'm lost searching, soul's hurting, from the strong burden.I couldn't make it any clearer, so I rhyme wordin'.You are the only reason, why I'm still here.Standin' faithful, remenicint of the whole year.The tears fall to the ground, but it doesn't matter.What ever had happened, had happened, and now my homes shattered.It's been days, maybe weeks since we last spoke.and I don't wanna have to think about that last joke.But everyday still feels the same,even though I know it's different, i can still feel the pain.it's beating in my heart, it's breathing in my lungs.it's cheating by the fact, that it pretends its love.it's beating in my heart, it's breathing in my lungs.it's cheating by the fact, that it pretends its love.it's cheating by the fact, that it pretends its love
