Good Old Days

At the End of All Things

In the shadow of temptation I lost sight of what mattered. I was greedy, I was selfish, and your faith in me shattered. Now my body is broken, but I soon will find my peace because you gave me the chance and I found a better me. As the blood drains from my veins and I gasp my last few breaths I ask only for forgiveness and the sweet release of death. Now that it’s all over I pull you close and say “I’m glad that you are with me at the end of all things. I would have followed you to the end, my brother, my king, my greatest friend. Lay me to rest with all these arrows in my chest. Show me grace; know that I tried my very best.

Stay Classy, San Diego

This town was once so full of life: the bustling days, the boisterous nights, the people flowing through the streets, somewhere to go, someone to meet. The place I used to call my home reminds me that I’m all alone. Everyone found somewhere new; perhaps it’s time to follow suit. Nothing to my name means nothing to lose. I’ll break in this town like a pair of new shoes. I’ll make it mine, I’ll paint it red. Nothing behind, only ahead. Perhaps this city hasn’t changed, maybe I’m just not the same. What if I’ve outgrown this place. I could use a change of pace. Nothing to my name means nothing to lose. I’ll break in this town like a pair of new shoes. I’ll make it mine, I’ll paint it red. Nothing behind, only ahead.

Good Old Days

If I could do it all over again, go all the way back to where it began, the only thing that I would do differently is cherish each moment and love all the little things. ‘Cause I look back now and I hate myself for ever wishing I was anywhere else, for being so caught up, obsessed with the trivial, and not loving things that were actually meaningful. I wish I could have known before the days had come and gone that they would be the ones that I look back on. ‘Cause now I reminisce memories I barely lived, the things I took for granted for too long. If I could do it all over again, I’d relive each moment I spent with my friends, ‘cause now I know they don’t last forever, things don’t always work out for the better. I think of how we all grow up, drift apart, fall out of touch. The people that I shared all my secrets with are strangers now that I see on the internet. I wish I could have known before the days had come and gone that they would be the ones that I look back on. ‘Cause now I reminisce memories I barely lived, the things I took for granted for too long. I got everything I wanted, all my dreams came true, but the people left around me are too few. I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days, why did they have to end so soon?
