Dear God,
Don’t forgive me
My sin
Is I can’t apologize
And from
The beginning
I’ve been
The only one I empathize
You say
That I’m just being dramatic
Again
But I feel
Like I lost myself
I’m scared
Of the person I’m becoming
Again
But at least
I’ve got my health
I don’t lie but I can’t be real
Guess I’m born like that
Born like that
I don’t know how a love should feel
Guess I’m born like that
Born like that
Everyone’s
Life’s a movie
In mine
I’m the villain
Guess what
Your ego’s boring
This is my
Self love anthem
I wanna know if my heart can heal
Guess I’m born like that
Born like that
I wanna know if I’m bad or evil
Guess I’m born like that
Born like that

Pillar of Salt

If I could concede:
Looking back,
never thought that I would miss the throng
or the stampede.
I spent my life
Avoiding crowds
And everyone making them
And everyone who opened their heart to me.
I’ve built a wall
It’s a marvel of science
But it’s too tall.
If I could explain:
Never thought that I’d miss
Getting trampled and left in the rain.
Been left alone for far too long.
I’m falling for pranks again.
I’m falling down a trap door that I installed.
I traded my car
for a day pass to paradise
But it’s too far.
If I could describe
How I felt that year,
Oh the words would just seem so contrived.
If memory is all we know
Between fate and happenstance
Look back and turn into a pillar of salt.
I pegged myself for a victim of circumstance
But it’s my fault.
Oh God, just give me more time.
And I’ll waste it all again.

Baked into a wedding cake again
Starting to feel like home
But if memory serves there’s a knife coming down
Turning my smile to a frown
Broke into a candy shop again
I couldn’t even tell you why
But if history serves as a cautionary tale
Wait at DeKalb staring at the third rail
It’s best just to wait for the fire sale
And it’s all wrong
And it’s all wrong
Cut up like a spiral ham again
I didn’t even feel a thing
But if memories hurt there’s a pill for the pain
Throw out the shirt just to get out the stain
Guess I just like to complain
And it’s all wrong
And it’s all wrong
Like a bad song
Oh it’s all wrong
Baked into a wedding cake again

Real

Let the chill of summer
melt you like an ice cube in some water.
Hundred degrees and a heart thirty below.
Everyone thinks they're born with all the answers.
Older I get and the less I seem to know
What's
"Real"
Is it the life that I have or the one I'm waiting for?
"Real"
Is it a pocket full of cash or a gift card worth more?
"Real"
Is it the job that I love or the one that pays the rent?
"Real"
If only I could win back the money I spent.
Overworked, under paid.
Everyone thinks they're built to have it made.
Everyone thinks they're owed a map when they're lost.
Always check the price but forgot to check the cost.
For
"Real"
Is it the life that I have or the one I'm waiting for?
"Real"
Is it a pocket full of cash or a gift card worth more?
"Real"
Is it the friends I can trust or the ones that cut the check?
"Real"
If only I could buy back my self respect.
