Labor Day 01:47
This was something new to me, something I've never felt before The last time I saw you, you were only passing by Stabbing deep into my heart, but not just mine. I am not alone and I keep telling myself this. But, I was told you were caught saying "I feel like I could die any day"...well we never would have guessed... Now I can only see you when the sun is shining or maybe when I close my eyes. You're surrounded by names and dates etched in stone...lives also lost So to all of us: Some days just forgive the way I take this. It was something I never thought could happen. And here's to you : We miss that smiling face. We've accepted the fact, but we aren't letting go.

Bound to break at some point. I’m fucking bound to break Some days this feels like a car crash, and I’m slamming my head on the wheel Happiness comes and goes hour by hour. I have little stability anymore And I’ve even caught myself praying to a ghost I know isnt there But that’s just a desperate search for hope I hate where I am. I fucking hate where I am When a single cloud can bring our town showers a storm cloud always seems overhead
3.
The reality I must face is brought by you It only takes a fucking few to ruin what I came here for So keep swinging your fists…you only make things worse Don’t fucking ruin this for me The one place I can call my own You’ll never understand what this means to me We want you fucking gone “Cut-throat” mentalities You back stab your allies You take what was given to us and you throw it in our fucking face You make this life a contest and we’re not interested You’ll never be wanted here again You’ll never welcome here again

Powerline 02:19
Forged my signature on the dotted line in a contract of love It wasn't my intention to leave fucked from this I Ignored the fine print, ignored any consequence and now I swear we've choked on those words Now I think it's time I let you know that you're part of the reason these songs come out the way they do You’re part of the reason for these words I sing It's not easy for me to write a love song Ive fucking moved on… but bitter recollections will always be with me And now I don’t know you anymore, but that's fine...I don’t give a fuck At least Broken hearts are good for something, because broken hearts wrote my favorite songs So let me recite some of Blake's best words, because they always seem to fit
