    This is my new CD with a booklet I made, which is basically a physical copy of the pdf file you get with the album. It's a few bucks extra if that's cool. Also, it's black and white because color copies cost like 10 dollars to make and damn thats alot.

    note: im kinda bad at making these so far, so ill pay you back if theyre not up to par. sorry!

lyrics

Sorry mom and dad, but I’m gonna get more tattoos,
I know how much you hate them, but they’re something I can hold on to.
cuz I may lose my voice, but I’ll always have a body,
and until it decomposes you can find out all about me.
The ink in my skin will show who I am, no retreat, no regret, and a love for fellow man.

and I’m sorry for the lies I’ve told, I’m sorry for the truth I hold,
I’m sorry that they have to come out in a song
I preach about honesty, but sometimes I’m not honest, so honestly I’m sorry it could happen again,
and if you ever catch me lying, just shake your head, and ask me why I keep it all inside.

and to my friends who’ve died: I miss you and I’m sorry that we weren’t closer before you moved on.
Please know your family and friends will always love you and they’ll never forget you.
And I know we weren’t the best of friends, but I’m glad to have known you, I’m glad we had something.

and to my friends still alive: you’re a miracle, don’t ever think that you’re life is worthless.
I know you’ve been through some scary shit, I won’t try to understand it, but I’ll try my best to help.
We’re all in this together. I’ve said it a million times, and I’ll say it a million more.

Because Sean told me to be the best fucking human I can be.
And I’m not perfect, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with trying to be.
And I know I’ll never change the world.
But I will not give up I will not sit and accept fate
I will press on
I will stand strong

No givin up for me; no tail between my knees; no dying til I’m free
