As I ride this board and feel this breeze I got to thinking about you, and those years of my past
You fed the monster in my head and took the sharp edge to my body, and pushed me when I was down
I appreciate it you know, those seven years from sixth to grad.
Those years I'll never forget
But this is not a hate song
I won't wish hell on you, though I may want to
I've got something else for you
I'm moving on and moving out as you're all out of my life
May we never meet again and may that monster never come back
Cause I'm the best I've ever been
This is not a tell all, but I need to get this off my chest
Cause the scars are reminders, of the years of my past
They say ignorance is bliss, well ignorance is ignorance
You couldn't see what was in front of you
Think twice before you do something, say something, spread something
That's the lesson for today, all I want is for you to be aware
Cause this is not a hate song
I won't wish hell on you, though I may want to
I've got something else for you
I'm moving on and moving out as you're all out of my life
May we never meet again and may that monster never come back
Cause I'm the best I've ever been
There's so much more that I could say
Staying here's not healthy for me
I'm moving on
May these words ring through your ears and serve as reminders
Of the hell that I was put through cause of you
Will you care about what I say?
Will you even read what I write?
Will you listen to these words?
I don't care
But will you miss me when I'm gone?

Take Care

What would you do if you never got to say goodbye
If today was there last day, and their well suddenly ran dry
An accident in the night, an elixer shattered inside
Damage beyond repair
That sinking feeling inside
It's inescapeable unpreventable
Nothing can be done
Take care and take care to remember to make sure you let them know tonight
Just how much you care
You always think "Oh it won't happen to me"
It's never real unless it happens to you
Your bubble has been popped, shattered inside
You'll never view the world the same
That sinking feeling inside
It's inescapeable unpreventable
Nothing can be done
Take care and take care to remember to make sure you let them know tonight
Just how much you care
So keep your friends close
Don't let them leave without
Saying goodbye
You'll never know if tomorrow's promised
That sinking feeling inside
It's inescapeable unpreventable
Nothing can be done
Take care and take care to remember to make sure you let them know tonight
Just how much you care

So things ended here today
Who knows maybe we're better off that way
Yeah, things are better off this way
I'm a free spirit, I know, maybe too free
You can't catch me, oh no
You sure as hell can't catch 'em all
Yeah that's a challenge you know
We locked eyes that's all
This right here is what will console me
For the sleepless nights to come
Yeah I know I screwed up
Pretty much fucked up
But I can't control that now
I don't think I ever could
I'm trying not to think of the flip side
In the hopes that things are fine for you
But, hell, who am I kidding
That was the last thing I wanted to do to you
But you've gotta move on, keep trucking on
Cause you know you'll make it through
Now, in the meantime
I've gotta find me for once in my life
What works what's right and what's plain wrong
You never know unless you try
This right here is what will console me
For the sleepless nights to come
Yeah I know I screwed up
Pretty much fucked up
But I can't control that now
I don't think I ever could
Yeah I know I screwed up
Pretty much fucked up
But I can't control that now
I don't think I ever could
This right here is what will console me
For the sleepless nights to come
Yeah I know I screwed up
Pretty much fucked up
But I can't control that now
I don't think I ever could
Yeah I know I screwed up
Pretty much fucked up
Yeah I know I screwed up
Pretty much fucked up
Yeah I know I screwed up
Pretty much fucked up
But I can't control that now
I don't think I ever could
So I guess I'll move on now
I'd advise you do the same

Sick of Being Sick

Do you ever have those times
When you feel like you can't do anything right
The monster in your head returns
And it stings the backs of your eyes
You thought you made the right move
Maybe it was but it still sucks
And you can't control your lies
That flow from your mouth like a practiced verse
Life sucks, you know
It sorta does for everyone
But you never know things could look up
Like a phoenix rising from the dust
Live for those moments
Those brief glimpses of sun
It's so hard though, sometimes
I just get so damn lonely
There's only so much silence can do
Before it makes your ears bleed
Wouldn't it be nice
If something worked out for once
I've gotta fight for everything
So I'll fight until I bleed
Cause that's all I know how to do
Life sucks, you know
It sorta does for everyone
But you never know things could look up
Like a phoenix rising from the dust
Live for those moments
Those brief glimpses of sun
I'm sick of getting my hopes up
And I'm sick of being let down
I'm sick of hurting others
And hurting myself in the process
I'm sick of feeling like shit
And acting like it too
I'm sick of not being happy
Because everyone deserves to be happy
And to feel like they're in control of their lives
And most of all?
I'm sick of fucking complaining

It Gets Better

Tonight I was asked what I would say to those youth in need of a little hope
Forced to think quick which is not my strong point, I gave an answer without much meaning
Well this is my true answer to you all right now
No matter what letter you fall under
It gets better oh trust me it gets better
Ignore what the ignorant folk have to say
If you look at me, what do you see?
What do you see and what do you think?
What meets the eye may not always be right
You've gotta dig deep down see what's inside
Don't be so quick to judge, everyone's fighting their own war
The older you get the wiser you grow
Plant a seed, sprout a thought
It gets better oh it gets better
This message will be finished tonight
Guess it's another ramen night
One of oh so damn many shared by oh so many
So let's stand together now the oppressed unoppressed
Those late nights spent feeling so down, millions have endured you're not alone
It gets better oh trust me it gets better
Ignore what the ignorant folk have to say
If you look at me, what do you see?
What do you see and what do you think?
What meets the eye may not always be right
You've gotta dig deep down see what's inside
Don't be so quick to judge, everyone's fighting their own war
The older you get the wiser you grow
Plant a seed, sprout a thought
It gets better oh it gets better
Refuse to sink
It gets better
You are not alone
We are not alone
Stand together now
Stand up let your voice be heard
You are not alone
We are not alone
What meets the eye may not always be right
You've gotta dig deep down see what's inside
Don't be so quick to judge, everyone's fighting their own war
The older you get the wiser you grow
Plant a seed, sprout a thought
It gets better oh it gets better

Lose The Labels Norton, Massachusetts
After having spent the past few years writing songs that just ended up as documents growing dust in my computer, I decided to set off and make this music a reality. In September of last year I started Lose The Labels. I want to share my music with you all, and hope that it affects every listener in some way, maybe even helping some of you get through some of those tougher times. ... more
