1.
His options running out, he ran away from home. Lost but but forgotten with nothing left to own. Dropped across county lines. Bruised and battered down. Addiction taking hold. The cold cut to the bone. And then it cut him down. Huddled in a stairwell with no one else around. The whisky didn't warm but I hope it eased the pain. Did it even make a sound? How many will die hungry, broke, and beset? How many will follow pushed aside without regret? How often do I wake safe, warm, and loved? Sometimes I forget. We take for granted every day, this bluff on which we tread. The fall from grace is short. The vultures all well fed. Disheartened though we are, we take power from this pain. For we did not know the person but now we know his name. Now we know his name.

Double 03:11
I want nothing more Than to be farther from you Distance is key To watch you sink away Spitting out what still remains What's left of me I'm seeing double of me I'm seeing double it seems But I don't know what it means I get sick to think of what you wasted in me Salt on the wound Spitting blood and shame Total regret, unrestrained Sleep all afternoon I'm seeing double of me I'm seeing double it seems And that's the trouble with me

Are we bound to live our lives on borrowed time? In borrowed days In troubled minds Are these floors beneath us bound to break? Are we bound to falter? Are they bound to take? Rapacity for profit in those hungry eyes Is it everything? Is it everything? Turn my days into dollar signs It is everything It is everything Drink Deep Breathe Deeper Retreat Find shelter Dark thoughts and darker days Close my eyes Hide my face Drug us up and put us out of sight Cold and wet Hot and bright We're all one step away from falling Catastrophe Epiphany Feel that weight before you fucking throw it Injury Injure me
