Funeral for a Bird

Well here we go again
Another dead end
I'm terrified to see
What's in store for me
I can't help but feel like the world has it out for us
Why can't we catch a break?
I don't think I can go to one more funeral
I'm fucking sick of Oshawa
It'd mean a lot to me if I could get a little peace
A break from all this fucking gloom
If I can't be strong for me, like I've always tried to be
Then how can I be there for you?
The thoughts keep pouring out of me
I can barely keep them straight
I'm getting kinda used to
Feeling out of place
I have no guts but I'm not afraid to die
More afraid of what I'd leave behind
But I'm sure in time
You would all be fine
And I would understand
I'm not done yet
But this is testing my patience
I'm not done yet
Even if this life is done with me

It's been years
But it feels like yesterday
That I was picking up the pieces
And filling in the blanks
It's been so long
Since I had fended for myself
My life was nothing more then
A meager cry for help
It was nothing more, no it was nothing
You took me in
When my life fell apart
I needed an escape
I couldn't stop to think
I couldn't be alone
I was drowning myself
We drank away the weeknights
Just like we did
Back in the Bishop days
I was falling back in my old ways
It's been years
And I'm thankful every day
That you pulled the trigger
That you got tired of me
I came in defeated
My head in my hands
I've came out the other side
A better man
It wasn't long before shit old
And I fell off again
Making desperate calls in the freezing cold
I still couldn't forget
I gave up trying
I barely pushed through
It never got much easier
Just did what I had to do
I did what I had to
I was still breathing
Maybe that's enough
A reason to try
I changed my number
Scrubbed every trace
And started to forget
I'm still a disaster
But I'm half the mess I'd be
If I hadn't found you
If you hadn't saved me
I look back at those days
How I pissed my life away
But I still love the memories
I look back at those days
Every damn mistake
Made me who I am today
And I wouldn't change a thing
No I wouldn't change a thing

Another days over
I'm waiting on the street
I can't do this any longer
I need some fucking sleep
The days are getting shorter
I never see the sun
Can you really blame me
I'm not the only one
Fed up with all of your shit
No one should live like this
I know that I shouldn't stay
But I'm too proud to walk away
I did this to myself
I cant blame anyone else
And now I’ve got to get out
Before I fucking shut down
You know just what to say
Overworked and underpaid
You've got your claws dug into me
Into me
I never wanted a handout
I just wanted a fighting chance
I never wanted to change your mind
I just want to understand
How you can do those things you do
How you can talk to me that way
I cant pretend this makes me happy anymore
This shit is killing me
Are you impartial?
Or do you just not care?
Everyone's broken down
Dead hearts and blank stares
You know just what to say
Overworked and underpaid
You've got your claws dug into me
Into me
You said something changed
You don't look like you used to
You look weathered, you look grey
You've aged five years
In the five months since you got here
You haven't smiled in days
This is no place to call home
No
This is no place to call home
Alright
You got out
You got out

All that I want
is to see the Northern Lights
I swear I'll chase them
every fucking night
Not even sure where to go
Hours out in the cold they never showed
I know its 2 am but I think tonights our night
So lets pack the car, we'll go as far as we have to
To see the Northern Lights
Honestly, I started losing hope
Maybe it's not meant to be
Fuck it we'll try one last time
But tomorrow we have to say goodbye
All that I wanted
Was to see those fucking lights
Now we're back and it all went so fast
And ya we had dinner with Mila and Ashton
Still cant help but feel like I missed
My fucking chance
I chased you
Night after night
So thank you
For wasting my time

How do you know
The right thing to say
When your whole life's about to change
I walked into your room
First thing you say
You shouldn't have come all this way
Just for me
The grief hits hard
But I know it's for the best
You fought all your life
You just wanted to rest
You made your choice
You thought it through
But it still broke our hearts
To say goodbye to you
I didn't talk much
I just wanted to soak in
Every single thing
Then it got quiet
It was time to go
And I froze
I just froze
The grief hits hard
But I know it's for the best
You fought all your life
You just wanted to rest
You made your choice
You thought it through
But it still broke our hearts
To say goodbye to you
One by one
We took your hand
To say our goodbyes
And I'll never forget
How it felt standing there with you
Looking up at me
I was a mess
You seemed at peace
And you said
"Make time for your family
You'll never be alone
Find someone you love
And never let them go"
I only have one life to live
And your words are with me now
It may not be perfect
But I'm gonna make it count
I'm gonna make it count
I'm gonna make it count
I wont let you down
I wont let you down
I wont let you down

Self Help

It’s been a bad year
It started out with a car crash
Then life came crashing down on me
I was living off easy street
Had bills to pay, ends to meet
Worked two jobs just so I could stay off the streets
I Spent my days smoke billowing weed
To digress from the stress
That’s been smothering me
Guess it’s time I took a walk outside instead of veggin’ out on the couch
In my fucking apartment
Cuz I’ve got to stop this
Enough's enough
I just need some time
to pick myself back up
This ain’t a waiting room
So what the fuck am I waiting for?
Can’t ignore the facts Anymore
Gotta get a little motivated
Cuz I can push through this
I know
It gets better
I’ve just been a little under the weather
I'm not myself
I need some help
And only I can help myself
This is all we've been living for
All that we've worked towards
So what's the point when you're miserable now
Every look in the mirror
Reminds me why I never wanna go back
To that fucking hospital
I'm worth more than this
And I'm gonna prove it
Embrace the bad luck
And keep moving
But I'll never get there until I stop
Running in place
This is not the end
This is beginning again
I'm ready for
Whatever's next
This ain't a waiting room
So what the fuck am I waiting for?
This ain't a waiting room
So what the fuck am I waiting for?
This ain’t a waiting room
So what the fuck am I waiting for?
Cant ignore the facts Anymore
Gotta get motivated
Cuz I can push through this
I know
It gets better
I've just been a little under the weather
I'm not myself
I need some help
And only I can help myself
This not the end
This is beginning again
I'm ready for
Whatever's next
So What the fuck am I waiting for?
