Have at You

Hear what I say
These words are crystal clear
It’s no fucking surprise
That you’re still here
Now I might have been gone
But that’s no excuse
To not move along
So put yourself in my shoes
And realize that it’s only
The best I want for you
And that’s not gonna change
Once again
It just won’t change
Day after day
You sit and waste
Your time away
So hear me out
It’s not you I hate
It’s every step
That you fail to take to make a change
This never struck me
As a problem that I’d one day have to face
And you know that I don’t mind
Cleaning up this mess
Making sure you don’t sink in too far
But that’s really all that I can do
So hear what I say
I’ve had enough of your day-to-day
You’re not dragging me down
Into this sorry excuse
That you call life
I wish it wouldn’t end this way
What you could’ve had
Has been thrown away
And I’m leaving it up to you
To carry all the weight
That you never failed to leave
With me

Aldi's Anthem

Well look at me now
I’m everything that
You ever wanted
But now it’s too late
It’s too late
Yeah it’s too late
It’s too late
So think of the times
When you thought you had me
In the palm of your hand
You thought I’d just give in
Yeah think of the times
You really thought you had me
In the palm of your hand
I’ll never give in
Make-shift bridges we have burnt
Used to lead us off our shores
Left stranded on these sands
This barren island is our home
All these bridges you have burnt
Don’t bother trying to hide the torch
This tired anthem’s all we know
The vows we swore are all but dust
An empty life to call our own
When all we have is skin and rust
Running circles, running circles
At last we understand that
We’re left with, we’re left with
We’re left with nothing more
Nothing, nothing more
We’re left with nothing more
I wish you the best
Best of fucking luck dear
As far as I’m concerned
You need it more than me
This constant downward spiral
Is taking its toll
This tired anthem’s all we know
The vows we swore are all but dust
An empty life to call our own
When all we have is skin and rust
Running circles, running circles
At last we understand that
We’re left with, we’re left with
We’re left with nothing more
Nothing, nothing more
We’re left with nothing more
I wish you the best
The best of fucking luck

Mantle

Today
I stand before myself
Faced with everything that I usually overlook
The decisions at hand
Never saw the headlines
Of the paper that I never cared to read
And they never will
Right or wrong
Take what I say with a grain of salt
And I'll stand by what I've always stood for
I may not belong
But I'll still put my two cents in
And I'll never say I told you so
I'm still here
Like the mountains
That haven't moved an inch from Mother Nature's wear
I'll weather the tides
Until my footprints disappear
When the next wave comes crashing down
Comes crashing down
Right or wrong
Take what I say with a grain of salt
And I'll stand by what I've always stood for
I may not belong
But I'll still put my two cents in
And I'll never say I told you so
That I told you so
You never gave me a fair shot
I never got my chance to shine
I'll always be your second best
A runner up to all the rest
A dusty mantle where a trophy should have been
