Recorded live off of 100.3 the River from my performance at the Preservation Pub in Knoxville, TN sometime in Spring 2004.
Lyrics
This one’s for the times I tried to tell you that I missed you;
When I’d just hide inside myself and you’d confuse my silence for issues.
And you’d fight the lies you tried to hide, while wishing that you cared.
This one’s for the times you tried but you were high and were not there.
This one’s for the time I tried to take my life at seventeen;
When I saw no end and hid from friends and life and coming clean.
This one’s for the shame of my parents and a forgotten confidence.
And for the screams inside that cry it’s time to die, it’s time to end.
Bridge:
Looking back into the face of it,
I’m catching different shades and tastes of bliss;
And somewhere begging for the breathing rights
Is my lost cause search for peace of mind.
A lost cause search for peace of mind.
This one’s for the time I failed and sailed a sunken ship that we call life,
And for the consequencial losing my grip from the memories of that night;
This one’s for the times I could and should have tried but turned from coming clean.
This one’s for the time I tried to take my life at seventeen.
