First chance to calm your mind, last chance to do what’s right. Months overdue, I’ll exit just in time.
No I can’t hold just what I should, and I can’t do what you want me to.
Talking through clenched teeth and your fists against wall, promise that I’d never, but I began to lose it all.
Felt myself sinking back to old ways again, and it sounds like a get out, but I left to keep me sane.
And you won’t believe. Half the things that made my veins pop.
Now it’s like we never existed, at all.
Talking through clenched teeth, your fists against wall, I promise that I’d never, but you began to lose it all. Felt you sinking back to old ways again, and it sounds like a get out, but I left to keep me sane.
Bad tempers, just waiting to go.
Your own little fire. Waiting to explode.
First chance to calm your mind, last chance to do what’s right. Months overdue, I’ll exit just in time.

Law & Order: SVU (Demo)

The last night we were together we watched law and order, and I wished things could have been. I wish things could have been.
The next morning one more time, you asked me not to leave. I wished things could have been as easy as watching TV.
We spent our time letting us fall apart, I tried to force my head but I couldn’t force my heart. And I’m not sure when we started this decline, but you had your limits and I sure as fuck have mine.
I wished things could have been as easy as watching TV.
Washed you out my clothes, moved you from my bed.
Scrubbed you from my skin, and cleaned you out my head.
No nothing I regret, I’m glad for time we spent. But now we’re firmly stopped now we’re finally dead.
I know you’ll probably think I wrote this out of spite, but I hope you fix your head cause you sure as fuck fucked up mine.
I wished things could have been as easy as watching TV.
Washed you out my clothes, moved you from my bed.
Scrubbed you from my skin, and cleaned you out my head.
I wasn’t able to sleep in weeks. I couldn’t close my eyes without you next to me.
I can finally sleep; it’s been some weeks. Can finally close my eyes without you next to me.
Washed you out my clothes, moved you from my bed.
Scrubbed you from my skin, and cleaned you out my head.

Hospital (Demo)

This is the last time I saw you.
Thinking back as a kid you always were the first to blame. For the reason, for his fate for his fault and all mistakes. I can’t live in shadows of a family man, a hateful man, so torn apart from his youth. All of which I never knew. Sailed across foreign seas. Loving wife, dad of 3. Can’t heal the scars. You badly treat. Only spreads to younger seeds, the rotten tree it’ll die with me. It's dying roots hollowed out but I’ll try my best. It’ll stop with me.
And now you’re dead and gone. We’ll fix where things went wrong.
I got lost in the hospital, the last night you drew breath. I hope you found some final peace, when the good Lord that you met.
This is the last time I saw you.
My padded shoes, the car park floor. Yellow halls and life support. Last words said, sat in silence, slowly bent to kiss your head. When you left I hope you know, no hate was at your funeral. Closed our eyes and covered up the wounds of old. Dark past gone, we’ll leave it there. Try our best to all repair. Can’t live in paths of things not right. All the hate I left that night. In hospitals and cemeteries there’s some good lasting good in these new grown leaves.
And now you’re dead and gone. We’ll fix where things went wrong.
I got lost in the hospital, the last night you drew breath. I hope you found some final peace, when the good Lord that you met.
And now you’re dead and gone. We’ll fix where things went wrong.
I got lost in the hospital, the last night that you drew breath. I hope you found some final peace, when the Lord you met.
This is the last time I saw you.

Spent so long, blaming you for everything, and I guess I’ve finally run out of reasons to.
And I won’t be calling you again. This is finally a close to an end.
My anger’s all but gone, our time is run and spent, and we both know it always had an end.
Cause I’m so tired of writing bad things about things you.
There’s only so much pent up anger I can really harbour. Carrying it around only seemed to pull me further. Searched every night, dragged every river for it. Never did me good. No more you’ll hear about it.
And I won’t, be calling you again. This is finally a close to an end.
My anger’s all but gone, our time is run and spent, and we both know it always had an end.
