I was being lazy at work and I found a couple of songs that I had forgotten about. These are all well over a year old.

1: "Falling.txt"
I've been hoping that I might know
what's right and where to go
But I'm not getting anything
the stones just stare back at me

The walls are falling, but I'm not destroyed
I'm closer to failing, but there's always a save
Never once was I ready, but I jumped anyhow
Sometimes you end up luckier than others.

Be it short and sweet, nothing, really
or if you're longing and broken
aftermath and poetry is what you need
but all you've got is reckless decisions

The walls are falling, but I'm not dead yet
I'm closer to failing, but there's always a save
Never once was I ready, but I jumped anyhow
Sometimes you end up luckier than the last time.

I've given a thought to jumping, not in
but off, in a try to escape this maze
but something always kept me back
was it a lack of courage, or a look of disdain?

Keep yourself honest, I'm looking to need you
Ignore what I say all you like, it's still there
and nothing can make me forget that feeling
When it seems like there is nothing, and nobody cares
but something tells you you're not strong enough
you know you can't do it, I can't leave like that

Bridges may burn and friendships may fall
but save m the pieces, I'll fix it right up
just give me some time to clear my head
and I promise I'll be back for you.

The walls are falling, but I'm not giving up
I'm closer to failing, but there's always a save
Never once was I ready, but I jumped anyhow
Sometimes you end up luckier if you never wake up.

2:"Song_1.txt"
So don't tell me you hate me
I've figured as much and planned ahead
But I'm starting to forget the rift
and turn purely to pity

the midnight phone calls and sleeping late
Kept me on my feet for a while
But once they dissapear, I'm done for
There's what I call my greatest weakness

Turn it around, kicking me out
Does nobody notice the wrong done?
You've got every right
everybody says you can hate me
You've got my permission, but I feel no lost love
And I've got to say, it's wonderful
That feeling of forgiveness
or at least less contempt.

I'm confused as to why you're still here
because I've dropped out on you
Let you down and lead you on
But don't get me wrong, I'm trying to change

I can't figure out why you help when I'm down
Not that I'm complaning or anything
but of everyone I know,
nobody deserves revenge as much as you

Turn it around, kicking me out
Does nobody notice the wrong done?
You've got every right
everybody says you can hate me
You've got my permission, but I feel no lost love
And I've got to say, it's wonderful
That feeling of forgiveness
or at least less contempt.

I can list what I've done wrong
and I'm sure you can help
yet you're sitting on my side
taking the pen out of my hand

3:"The Fight.txt"
Take bets on this fight, gather one and all
As sure as I'm fighting, it's sure that I'm falling
I'll fold in the fourth, there's no doubt at all
Place your bets, the stakes are high
Five-hundred-to-one, and I'm on the losing end.

Back-stab and dance around the issue
I'll try to stay friendly, block the blow
You're just throwing more and I'm backpedaling
Hang on, Hang on one minute, I'm falling
blood's flowing from my chin
and things around me are fading

Take bets on this fight, gather one and all
As sure as I'm fighting, it's sure that I'm falling
I'll fold in the fourth, there's no doubt at all
Place your bets, the stakes are high
Five-hundred-to-one, and I'm on the losing end.

Stand your ass back up, son, This fight ain't done
Stagger in a crooked circle,
Post a weak defense, I don't want this fight
Back and forth, up and down
A rhythm of falling and rising, failure and finality

Take bets on this fight, gather one and all
As sure as I'm fighting, it's sure that I'm falling
I'll fold in the fourth, there's no doubt at all
Place your bets, the stakes are high
Five-hundred-to-one, and I'm on the losing end.

There's one more that I think I remember having music to, but I don't remember it or how it went. It may have been written within the last year, though.

4:"Months.txt"
Show me a little more skin,
let down your hair
The kiss that I'm longing to steal
Teases me from your lips
There's no place I'd rather be
anywhere but here
Somewhere with your hand in mine
your head on my shoulder

So spin around one more time, before this night is through
Lay softly with our hands locked
I'll be alone tomorrow, but hold me now
don't let go when I tell you goodbye
it's only for a little while.
Just wait for a few more months
I promise I'm not worth it.

Lie to me like I think you are
nobody's that crazy
I'll still be in awe of you
when you're telling the truth
Make me change my mind about everything
especially myself
Turn this world upside down
more than you've already done.
