Alone on the pavement, gazing at the stars ; The world is empty, the world is dead and rotting.

Crying
04:05
|

|
I remember crying back on the steps of my front door. Nobody got along and everyone kept fighting. You came outside and promised me everything would be okay....Yet here I am back on the steps crying. I'm sick of this.

Bleed

|

|
I carved your name into the tree. Cut me up make me bleed. I will suffer for you. I will give you peace and I will give you warmth. Make me bleed, I will suffer. I no longer feel alone in an empty room. I felt alive.

Give

|
I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about you. I gave and left everything. I let you take it all. I'm dead to you. "I miss you" the three words I'm used to. I let you take it all. But I'm dead to you. I don't want it back, just leave me with some dignity.

Hopeless
03:39
|
|||
|
No longer do I feel alive. The wind is the only thing pushing me. My soul is broken. My voice is hoarse from the screaming. I've given up, I no longer feel the pain. I'm hopeless.

Fog
03:40
|
|||
|
I've been sleeping the pain away. My thoughts have been clouded for weeks. It's been getting harder to pay attention to the things that matter most. The suffering is only getting worse. I'm another wasted youth waiting for the end. I'm dead inside.

Burn
03:20
|
|||
|
I heard that your house burned down. I feel so numb it hurts me. I remember the sight when we drove by. The boarded windows and the ashes of your porch still haunt me. I stood motionless ; How could such bad things happen to such a good soul?

Numb
03:41
|
|||
|
I grow cold and my eyes wont shut. Five years and my hands are numb. Numb like that night. Still sleepless, still cold. I am ready to come home.

Carl Gene Baltimore, Maryland
Est. December 2012
"Smith is very open about using the music as a conduit for
dealing with his depression, but the gentle nature of the music and the melody coming from Smith’s voice create a healing narrative that take the ugly and force it out of the shadows. Even on the darkest days there is sunshine after the rain."
