Everest

I know how I got to this place. Where do I go from here? This avalanche will take me down. It's time to face my fears. As I look towards the peak, it all disappears; everything that surrounds me, my goals. My time is near.
How high can I reach before it gets hard to climb? Colder and colder I get, the lack of support makes me doubt who I am. Here on this mountain, you say I'm no man.That I'll never make it. You don't have a plan.
Every step I take could be the one to break.
All the words you say shake the grounding in me.
Eminence - all I see among the tallest of peaks.
Everest, take me. Everest, swallow me.

Fine, For Now

Should I just stay put? Maybe here is where I belong. I'm always at a crossroads, wondering what went wrong behind me. Regrets are my only memories. So much has frayed at the seams. All that's left now are the holes in my jeans.
I'm finding my own way to pull through. Regret is all I used to think upon, and soon, I was consumed. Behind these walls of doubt, there's so much shit we could talk about. I'd rather be silent for now. I'd rather be...
It's okay. I'll wear them everyday. I might not ever change, but that's all fine, for now.

Better Days

I was never meant to leave like the sun. On a rainy day, I'll be what you think of. You'll wish I was around. That's all I want. I was never meant to be the flash of the lightning that came with the sound to make you run and hide. Standing here, just asking why as I stare at the sky.
I wonder what's wrong. I wonder what's right. If the sky could fall, would we have it all? I've been digging holes bigger than myself, and if I go any further, I'll be in Hell.
I feel there's a hole in the sky, and that's where I felt complacent. I wish I never stayed, 'cause I felt better days. Behind the doors inside, there is so much to hide, but if it all came down so would you and I.
(so would you and I)
I've been waiting for these clouds to pass by, but I'm connected to the storm at least in your eyes. I was meant for destruction. I am meant for destruction.

Shell (Empty Hands)

As years pass, I pass as well; a hollow man with a cracking shell. This foundation that was once stone has turned to sand. You've always been a concept that I just couldn't understand. Take what you can from these empty hands.
I'll scream a thousand words, but what the fuck's the point. You don't even get it. I'm never heard. It only cuts me deeper, straight inside. Poisoning and weakening what keeps me alive.
It's just not worth it anymore these days.
I just can't face you anymore these days.
Just know your constant reminders of all of my mistakes just bolster this desire to just fade away. Like the fog in the day (it fades away), the frost on the trees (it fades away), it's your love for me (it fades away). It all fades away.
Sometimes the memories take up too much space, but they're not much worth remembering anyways. It's not much; there never was.
