Retrospective Recollection

I miss the way you told me

I would never live up to anything 

I miss the way you'd scold me

For whenever my dreams began breathing

I miss the screaming in my ears/ I miss the shouting in my face

And all the painful years/ and all the dreadful days

Of living life in fear/ of living through the hate

 

I miss those days (chorus)

 

I miss the way you held me

Squeezing my chest just a little too tight

Oh, how you would expel me

Pulling me down before I got too high

I miss the screaming in my ears/ I miss the shouting in my face

And all the painful years/ and all the dreadful days

Of living life in fear/ of living through the hate

 

I miss those days

 

I miss the stupid games we used to play

It's funny how time separates us so far away

I wish it could go back the way things used to be

But it won't last a day

 

I miss those days

December

-Remember

It's December

It's the happiest time of the year

It's December

But in this frozen heart there's no cheer- (chorus)

 

Let it snow til I'm covered from head to toe

Let the sun go down before I can get home

Just remember it's December 

 

Let the leaves turn brown as they rot on the ground

Let the night black out everything that's around

Just remember it's December 

 

Remember 

It's December 

It's the happiest time of the year

Its December 

But in this frozen heart there's no cheer

 

It's so cold

Why do I feel so alone?

 

That's when I

Remember 

It's December 

It's the happiest time of the year

It's December 

Cause in this frozen heart there's no cheer

In this frozen heart there's no cheer

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I kinda got my inspiration from a Christmas song I had stuck in my head, and the words just flowed out, so now I have a "winter" or "Christmas song" under my belt. 

See if you can guess what song it was...

So Many Ways to Die

There are so many ways to die

 

Maybe it will be on a hot sunny day

Maybe it will be when I'm weathered and grey

Maybe it will be from a car accident 

That I didn't see coming from a mile away

 

Or maybe it will come for me in my sleep

Maybe it will leave me lost in a dream

Maybe it will be from sickness and disease 

That will take me down, bring me to my knees

 

And I may never know just how it all goes down

 

It's like a bullet to the head/ A knife right through the chest

There are just so many ways to die

It's like a noose around your neck/ A fatal heart attack 

There are just so many ways to die

So many ways to die

 

Maybe it will happen in the freezing night 

Maybe it will derive from a homicide 

Maybe there won't be any signs of a fight

And it will go down by way of suicide 

 

And I may never know just how it all plays out

 

It's like a bullet to the head/ A knife right through the chest

There are just so many ways to die

It's like a noose around your neck/ A fatal heart attack

There are just so many ways to die

So many ways to die 

 

And no one really knows how their story fades out

 

It's like a bullet to the head/ A knife right through the chest 

There are just so many ways to die 

It's like a noose around your neck/ A fatal heart attack 

There are just so many ways to die 

So many ways to die

Inside My Head

Empty thoughts

Things unsaid

Empty soul

Left for dead

Broken hearts

Crooked smile

Broken bones

In denial

 

I just keep telling myself... it's all inside my head

 

Never thought

I'd be ok

Without you here

Every day

 

I just keep telling myself... it's all inside my head

 

Vacant thoughts

Never said

Withered soul

Still not dead

 

I just keep telling myself... it's all inside my head

 

It's all inside my head

It's all inside my head
