Desolate You
03:59
|
|||
you’re just sitting there
begging for the sun to die
you’re so slack
everyone you satirize
you’re just waiting there
hoping to be recognized
but you have no shape
and/or substance
desolate you
your smile’s an emblem of your hatred
desolate you
your purpose is to spread the hurt that you feel
you won’t be ignored
and always love attracting fights
you can’t stand the silence
all your words are meant to slight
and now i’m so mixed up
struggling to understand
that you have no taste
or awareness
desolate you
your smile’s an emblem of your hatred
desolate you
your purpose is to spread the hurt that you feel
can you feel it
I hope you feel
can you feel it pouring down?
can you feel it
I know you feel it
can you feel it pouring down on you?
desolate you
your smile’s an emblem of your hatred
desolate you
your purpose is to spread the hurt that you feel
desolate you

Complicate
03:32
|

i’m searching the room
trying to find myself
pictures don’t work anymore
i lift my hand to my face
but still see no one
is lost forgetting who you are?
should i fight
or let everything go tonight?
holding on for something
something future but right at hand
i’m still holding on for something
it’s a risk, but here i am
should i fight
or let everything go tonight?
holding on for something
something future but right at hand
holding on for something
it’s a risk, but here i am
every time i get so close
and pull away
every time i get so close
and i complicate
i complicate
i’m having memories
that are only vaguely mine
is lost forgetting who you are?
holding on for something
something future but right at hand
i’m still holding on for something
it’s a risk, but here i am

Strange Hope
02:48
|
|||
a moment i see
i understand so true
it slips away like sand
a day that i feel so well arranged
but then the reel runs out
and i think to myself
what are these reflections for?
i’m so frustrated and confused
that i should still keep hope
strange hope
could a few seconds sum up the world
and be lost in time?
i can’t write
i can’t transcribe that fast
all that i knew i soon forgot
and i think to myself
what are these reflections for?
i’m so frustrated and confused
that i should still keep hope
strange hope
i’m chasing echoes and shadows
and shadows and echoes
i’m chasing the wind
i can’t escape this vanity

Living In Theory
03:21
|
|||
so much time making plans
but they never leave the paper
life on pause and lost in dreams
the type that i’m too scared to live
i don’t want to live in theory
is safety worth the regret
i don’t want to live in theory
am i safely loosing?
then a thought that makes me stop
i can’t even breathe or reason
looking backwards from the end
i’ll hate myself for staying here
i don’t want to live in theory
is safety worth the regret
i don’t want to live in theory
am i safely losing my mind?
i’m conflicted contradicting
will i ever get it right? will i ever get it?
will i ever
will i ever stop?

Walls
04:28
|
|||
i hear you crying through the wall
groans that are so deep
they fracture bones
i hear your body hit the floor
i want so badly to open
the door, but I can’t
sometimes i don’t want to feel
and i don’t have perfect words for anyone
can you hear me screaming
“what went wrong?”
can you hear me screaming?
it’s all i can do
i just can't tell her to be strong
why am i so afraid to say
something wrong?
for now?
sometimes i don’t want to feel
and i don’t have perfect words for anyone
can you hear me screaming
“what went wrong?”
can you hear me screaming?
it’s all i can do
can i even comfort you?
i'm disgusted to think there’s nothing i can do
can i even comfort you?
i’ve grown suspicious of this world
so suspicious of this world that we outgrew
can you hear me screaming
“what went wrong?”
can you hear me screaming?
it’s all i can do
