"Let Her Go"
1997
 
You gotta, You gotta look out
For yourself, that's right
She's treating you good
But you're hurting youself
Absence of contact, shit
That hurts so much
Do good for yourself too
Not only her
Let go of the resistance
That's keeping you back
From exploring yourself
Do you ever look out for yourself
You didn't last time, you almost ended up dead
 
You're so confused, feel guilty
It's ripping you up
Cutting your heart in two
What's she going to do for you
But you don't want to
You don't want to lose her
If you do, you might die tonight
My advice to you
Talk to her, her talk to you
Relieve the fucking problem
 
I know you still love her
She's all you have left, so you
You can't let her go that easy
"Honey, I love you
But it's catching up
Maybe I'm selfish
But just give me time
To think things over
Goodbye"

"Recognition"
January 14th, 1997
 
I sit alone, no one speaks to me
I stand alone, my feet hurt
Take my gun, point it to my temple
I go away and hide in my dark corner
I cover up my sadness and smile
While inside I still cry
No one can hear me, why
Because I don't want to whine
 
I don't want to live anymore
Shoot me right now
I don't want to live anymore
Through these awful days
 
Why do I live this way
Why do I cry all day
Why am I alone I say
Why do I cry today
 
People look right through me
Don't notice a goddamn thing
Everything I tough gets cursed
If I were you I'd stay away
My toxic tearrs destroy my will
Close my eyes and see the end
My stomach turns inside out
I tried to call you for help
But it's obvious I'm alone
Lay with no life left in me
The only air I breathe is nicotine
The only thing that stays with me
 
Tears are my only friends
In this dark world of mine
I pray to gods above me
To take this sad curse
My life is all I have left
The strong boy you visualized
Has now broken in two
I couldn't take the sadness
Of being who I really am
Hate me, because I"m sad
That seems common of you
I say goodbye to all of you
I'm sorry if I've hurt you
I looked up to all of you
You've kept me from all of this
But now that you're gone
I have no support or understanding
Of these thoughts in my brain
Thanks for all you've done for me
I appreciate all your effort
I now lay down to sleep
Never to awake
Close my eyes and fall asleep

"Scorpio"
Jan, 6th, 1997
 
5.3 million women out there
And I've met the best of them
You're my love, my care
The day we can be together
Is the day I'll always look forward to
I look to you
Ask you why
I always have to
Be shoved away
 
I ask you to come to me
Cry on my shoulder
Don't be afraid of you
I don't mean any harm
I just want you to know
That you are you
No one can change that
I don't know why they'd want to
 
Hope I get to hold you tight
Your arms resting on my neck
Yet a tear rolls down
Because my life is without you
I've always dreamed of someone
So special to help me through
I"m so sorry for all your pain
Pain I know I've been through
When you come and reach out to me
I'll be waiting with open arms
Relax and think of me
I'll protect you from your harms
I look to you
Ask you why
I always have to
Be shoved away
 
I ask you to come to me
Cry on my shoulder
Don't be afraid of me
I don't mean any harm
I just want you to know
That you are you
And no one can change that
I don't know why they'd want to
I know there's a chance
For us to be together
I'll give you love that you
Have never felt before
Just keep me in
High thoughts with you
I'll never forget you
I know that this is true
 
I know I rush
I don't know why I do
I wish I could speed up time
Just to be with you
