Homecoming King

It's time for me to get out
Three years have taken toll on my soul
It's summer now and I can finally go home
There's no one that I'll miss
Except you
No more tears or crushed dreams
Everyone would vote me homecoming king
If only to get one last laugh
They all knew I would never last
Except you, except you
I can't stop my hands from shaking
I've never been more scared in my life
But I've made up my mind; I know what to do
I'll forget everything and everyone
Except you
Don't try to call me or convince me to stay
Nothing you can say will help anyway
I could never thank you enough for the love
When everyone else just tore me down
You found ways to build me back up
I'll miss you more than words can say,
But maybe you'll see me again someday

Dust in my eyes; I'm crying all the time
I've ditched my only home
I left it all behind
I couldn't take another year
Days filled with trauma and fear
Hiding in stalls, listening behind the walls
The heat burns through into my brain
Looking for emotion to fry
But there's nothing left to drain
The hole's gone dry
This desert I go through
It takes me away from pain
But it only takes me farther from you
Soon it'll drive me completely insane
I left you a note in my locker
Combination 3 10 15
You won't see me at lunchtime
I hope you'll understand why
If I make it through this night
I'll fall into the deepest sleep
And dream a thousand dreams
The only place where I am safe
This heat's burning into my brain
Just a tiny remnant stain
There's no more emotion to fry
The hole's gone dry
This desert I go through
It takes me away from pain
But it only takes me farther from you
Soon it'll drive me completely insane
I left you a note in my locker
Combination 3 10 15
You won't see me at lunchtime
I hope you'll understand why

A Boat Ride in the Ocean
05:05
|

|
The moon flows over the dark sea
A small boat tries to stay afloat
Where am I? I see a small shape
Of a boy shivering on the deck
A blanket covers his shoulders
A heavy rain floods over the bow
As the waves start to get stronger
The hull tears and fills with water
I can feel the ocean rising
Is this the end? Is it all over?
The waves start to get stronger

I'm woken up from my dream by the blazing sun above
The grit of sand reminds me of the awful truth
I follow a trail of misguided spirits to a better place
I'm going to the city where I can find hope
For a way to move on
Soon I'll be a new man with a new name and heart
You'll only remember the story of a boy long gone
Down the cracked lone road I hear a motor cry
They stop; town is just a couple miles away they say
I nod and jump aboard
I'm going to the city to escape this empty life
That fate has for me drawn
Soon I'll be somewhere new anywhere but home
Don't know what's going to happen to the boy far gone
Please help me
I'm sorry
I don't know where to go
I've fallen so low
I'm going to the city
Soon enough I'll be free
I've seen life and death, lost my breath
And washed up somewhere in between
I've run out of self pity
The void remains just as empty
If not more than ever before
I've left the only thing worth living for

I Love You, K
09:09

I've had some time to think
About how I've really messed up
Too much angst and fear; shedding pointless tears
My life thrown away in one blink
I guess I'll work a job
A simple 9 to 5
Washing dishes in a diner
I'll just barely survive
What more can I do
K, I wish I could just see you
This was all a huge mistake
I really must confess
I traded one nightmare for another I can't suppress
Now I'm just left with heartache
Throughout this solemn journey
I've felt many things
Feelings of hate and sadness
and all the trouble they bring
But I've had somebody who
I could always smile to
K, I love you
I'd given up hope
On 'most everything
But from laughter and jokes
To visits in dreams
You've been my rock
With your comforting talks
Just one thing to say
I love you, K
Like the sun clears the rain
You ease the pain
With the lightest touch
I smile too much
It's something so true
I never thought I knew
Just one thing to say
I love you, K

Goodbye

Sometimes I think of home
A place so very far and lost in my mind
I'm looking back on all the good times
There were so few but nearly all had you
Swinging on vines over the creek
Fell and could hardly walk for a week
You laughed and dragged me out
That smile I can't do without
I'm coming home, you heard me
I'm coming home, yeah you heard me
Might be a while, might still be in denial
When I get back I'll come by
'Cause I never got to say goodbye
I remember the car rides
We used to go on late at night
And the walks down the boulevard
Jumping on the trampoline in the yard
All of the times we snuck out
And would just always wander about
Climbing the hills and sliding through
Into the mud with you
I'm coming home, you heard me
I'm coming home, yeah you heard me
Might be a while, might still be in denial
When I get back I'll come by
'Cause I never got to say goodbye
I could never forget
The person I'd been so happy I met
For the past three years or so
You've made my spirit glow
I'm coming home, you heard me
I'm coming home, yeah you heard me
Might be a while, might still be in denial
When I get back I'll come by
'Cause I never got to say goodbye
