As it turns out life is complicated and messy and gritty and dirty. Call it simple or easy if you want, but you're lying to yourself to feel better. It's hard growing up in today's world, it's hard having friends who betray you or families that are hard to like. We all need those everlasting friends and those moments of clarity where we see our lives flash before us, and those times to be completely carefree. As we crash through the jungle of this life, we all steal a few hearts and break a few bones. But hey. That's life right?

There is a Triangle...

And it is impossible to complete.

She Left You Here to Burn

She called last Saturday night, and said she didn't call to fight
but she needed out
And as your knees hit the concrete floor she said she couldn't tell you more
there's nothing to tell


I'm watchin her take you down to the Valley of the Shadow
I'm watchin her take you down a road you don't wanna follow
She's a-twistin you up inside, and I think she's so full of lies
that she left you here to burn, I think she left you here to burn
And she's a-cryin on your shoulder, because she told you not to hold her
I think she's so full of lies, I think she's so full of lies


She called you yesterday just to talk about her day
and you remember
She starts goin on and on about the crap that's goin wrong
but all you can see is that she's gone


I'm watchin her take you down to the Valley of the Shadow
I'm watchin her take you down a road you don't wanna follow
She's a-twistin you up inside, and I think she's so full of lies
that she left you here to burn, I think she left you here to burn
And she's a-cryin on your shoulder, because she told you not to hold her
I think she's so full of lies, I think she's so full of lies


When she calls you hang up the phone; gotta cut that rope that ties that stone
around your neck to pull you down
but she's got you in her grip, and you can't let it start to slip
or she'll be gone

I'm watchin her take you down to the Valley of the Shadow
I'm watchin her take you down a road you don't wanna follow
She's a-twistin you up inside, and I think she's so full of lies
that she left you here to burn, I think she left you here to burn
And she's a-cryin on your shoulder, because she told you not to hold her
I think she's so full of lies, I think she's so full of lies

You Don't Stop to Listen

Still you don't stop to listen
and I'm watching myself choke on fears and inhibitions
I'm watching history as it falls off my old bookshelf 
and repeats itself again that tale I wish weren't part of myself
So you're making me feel bad because you don't like a critic
but I have to change this time around and I think the truth is worth it
And you wouldn't know 'cause you've worked hard to not know me
But I've been here before and watched my world fall down around me
So go ahead, be mad at me, make me feel like shit
Beating me makes you feel better, but unlike you I'll take it.
Write down that I'm wrong and I'll fold it up real small
I'll jam it in my heart and pretend it makes me strong
But all the crumpled notes and all that bloody history
turns into the blood that's running through my arteries
Eventually all that pain teaches a lesson
The Girl Who Gave a Damn becomes a woman to be reckoned with

Loneliness Heartbreak

She cries herself to sleep thinkin' about it
wonderin if she'll ever find herself without
and it's eating her at night, infecting her insides
it's made her heart its meal, so there's nothing she can feel
except that loneliness heartbreak
I said that loneliness heartache
There must be something wrong with her outsides
betraying ugly emptiness inside
She said "I wish I didn't think this is all there is for me
But isn't twenty years enough to find someone to love?"
There's only loneliness heartbreak
call her Miss Lonely and Heartache'd
There hasn't been a day she's not reminded
how alone she is and how bad the night is
She wraps her arms around herself
and repeats the lie that they all tell
"Alone today but not someday
keep your chin up there's still someday"
But she's been saying it now for years
and she thinks someday has disappeared
so she turns her face to the wall
and lets the tears silently fall
She'll be alone tomorrow like tonight
Time to blow out her candle lights.
