He and Son
He never tried to listen;
He never thought to care.
I'm just an inconvenience;
He was never there.
I don't expect perfection
For a less than perfect me.
I just ask for understanding;
I just want to make him see.
That I'm more than just a burden;
I'm more than just a pain.
But he'll never try to listen,
And it'll all happen again.
Never ending yelling,
All I get is hate.
I've never seen affection,
And now its too late.
I'm almost off to college,
And he missed out on me.
Never a relationship;
Only endless opportunity.
He passed up the chance
To know his willing son,
And now its all over;
The damage has been done.
can't believe he has gone
can't get it in my head
there i cry, as i lie
sleepless in my bed
wondering why, he had to die
and wishing it was me instead
its been six long years
since i've tried to finish this song
man how the time flies
it doesn't seem like its been that long
it got better with time
but my fears still remain
i'm afraid i'll forget you
and things wont be the same
i'm afraid i'll forget the memories
the times that we shared
you were all i had growing up
the only one that cared
then you left me
alone in this world
but it's not your fault
you got called out of this world
so many nights i sat thinking
wondering what'd you'd say
if you saw who i've become
the man i am today
but i remember your watching
looking down from above
i just wish i was with you
i would do anything to feel your love

War in Walls
I'm enclosed in these walls
They call it a home
I walk through these halls
Feeling alone
I'm counting down the days
'Til I can get away
Away from these people
Away from this place
I'm fighting this war
To get away from negligence
I've fought this battle before
But he deceived my confidence
I thought that he had changed
It sounded like it on the phone
When I came back it became clear
That I was back to being alone
By then I was trapped
Back in this cage
I'm still being deceived
Convinced in this haze
That one day they'll change
One of these days
But I'm growing tired
Of all of their bullshit
Tired of feeling unwanted
Tired of all of it
I don't know if I can last
'Til my senior year is done
But either way it stands
Either way they've won
They've taken my happiness
And my innocence of youth
Told me never ending lies
Warping the truth
But one day I'll be free
Liberated from jail
I'm on a mission to make it
I cannot fail
Because then they've won
They've taken it from me
My soul will be gone
There will be nothing left of me
Then I'll be dead in a mental sense
I'll be just like them
Ignorant but with pompous confidence
They think they've got it all
All of their possessions
But it doesn't mean shit
Just a load of transgressions
Maybe one day they'll realize
That it's all just a waste
It isn't fulfilling
It can't take love's place
But by then I'll be gone
And then maybe they'll feel regret
But I'm scarred forever
I can never forget
All that I've been through
All of my pain
My constant battling
Was all done in VAIN
