Tense

Take your time
Cause you just couldn't realize
It's all I write
Cause it's all worth while
And I see
What you seek
It's all handled
Our stairs where so steep
And when you gambled
How much did you preach?
And when I left you
How much did you scream?
Comply
Last try
Its fine
When I'm hanging on a line
The threads
Wear thin
Unwind
It puts me behind
I know, I've been
Back and forth with my meanings again
I know, You said
Leave it
But my dreams matter too
And I can never see these things right through
I know, you said
You're leaving tense
So did you have reason or are you lost in the head?
This overwhelming feeling was something I regret
The mess is in corner and the ties are stale
Just leave it up to me to put our lives in hell
Take your time
Cause you just couldn't realize
It's all I write
Cause its all worth while
Comply
Last try
Its fine
When I'm hanging on a line
The threads
Wear thin
Unwind
I still tried
I know, I've been
Back and forth with my meanings again
I know, You said
Leave it
But my dreams matter too
And I can never see these things right through
I know, you said
You're leaving tense
I need to wake up....
I had words to say but I never said enough
Eyes tense, and my mouth shut.

Heartburn
03:07

I wish I could take it back
The mistakes I make just to stay on track
I wish I could take it back
The days I gave you: heartburn; they turned to black
I'm terrified of my life
It hasn't changed, it's strange to find
That what I hoped, had always seemed to fail
But now it seems that you believe
That this whole thing was blamed on me
I'm sitting here but I don't see the signs
I hate the way you always change your adolescent mind
So far away
So much has changed
Live on different ends
Never made amens
The smell of my bed
The sheets that I dread
Live on different ends
Never made amens
The smell of my bed
What did you expect?

Flatline
theres a struggle in your eyes
Your dazed but fine, You'll stabilize
Flatline
I figured I was fine
I know that I came out in time
These bitter times
Are on my mind
these bitter times
I don't wanna waste my life
I wanna know, I've got to know
How did this world I love become so low
When did we hate our brothers and never know
And then we blame each other and just stay cold?
Lets talk about this issue now
The one we swear was not around
What the separations hiding
These eyes are clearly finding
Forget you, figure out another way
And try too feel the same again
But you pull and push me away from them
Cuz I see it now, without cause or doubt
Your unbearable truth, that we knew nothing about
your obvious remarks, right from the start
I guess you figured that I wasn't trying that hard
Flatline
theres a struggle in your eyes
Your dazed but fine, You'll stabilize
Flatline
I figured I was fine
I know that I came out in time
These bitter times
Are on my mind
These bitter times
I don't wanna waste my life
I'll keep these entries right by me
Reminds me of how I felt guilty
Lets talk about this issue now
The one we swear is not around
What the separations hiding
These eyes are clearly finding
I wanna know, I've got to know
How did this world I love become so low
When did we hate our brothers and never know
And then we blame each other and just stay cold?
Don't joke, Cause I know
That you'll find the scapegoat
So don't joke, cause you know
I was coloured in lies.
eyes Still wide
See it all in sight
Before these turn to blind
Beg for advice
But yet I'm still stuck here
Asking why
Driving home, alone
when it hits, every word still sticks,
and it makes me sick but I,
Think about it almost all the time,
When you crossed my mind,
I had to scream
"have some faith in me, its all i wanted to see”.

Stuck

So play along
We got a dialog
And a lazy world
Has made a dangerous son
Do you see it too
Maybe within you
"Your hesitating just to tell the truth"
Well no I'm not
I'm waking up
And all that stuff
Has had it's share of me
Am I stuck in a world so low
Where character is hardly known
Don't you all see
How much this means to me?
Am I stuck in a world so low?
Well I believe
That it's all we need
Just to break it off
Give some room to breathe
I hardly sleep
Next to computer screens
Stay awake all night
And hope I'll see
"Just a caption of you"
I wish I was amused
I stayed at your house
Just to see you move
What a waste of time
Where our lives really a crime?
You better stay away from mine
Am I stuck in a world so low
Where character is hardly known
Don't you all see
How much this means to me
Am I stuck in a world so low?
I don't know
And yeah, I guess we've all moved on
I think I cared too much because it's been so long
So forgive me if my attention span is gone

Prescription
03:52

So the letters were right
I stayed up, almost all night
Can't you tell how I've tried
With empty bottles by the table side
Broken spine
Healed up fine
When I came around
You already out
Bottle up the words
This is just absurd
Not again
It breaks the skin
All the other pain
Never went away
I'm swallowing my words again
Orange tinted grief
Never gave relief
This is what I thought it was
I always thought you'd be
Happier with me
Not again
Prescription? Me?
Prescription? Me?
Prescription? Me?
Prescription? Me?
Broken spine
Healed up fine
And when I came around
You were already out
And it all makes sense
How i failed in the end
No time to think
I can't fix me...
..so I'm told
These feelings I will never know?
.....ya
Did you ever think of me?
You know you drained me out entirely
And all the promises I never keep
I guess relationships have fleeted me
Bottle up the words
This is just absurd
Not again
It breaks the skin
All the other pain
Never went away
I'm swallowing my words again
Orange tinted grief
Never gave relief
This is what I thought it was
I always thought you'd be
Happier with me
Not again
Prescription? Me?
PRESCRIPTION? ME?

Lifeline
03:56
|

I don't want to wait
For another fight to break
I just wanna go home
Can't you see it in my face?
I'll go now
Shouldn't you calm down?
I don't want to waste
Just another night awake
I just wanna go home
Can you hear it when I say
I'll go now
My lifeline is down
Misbelief in my mistakes
I wear this on my shoulders
Do even know what it feels like
I've lost that right
I'm out of time
I just want to see
If you'd remember you
Do you drink alone?
Is it constantly?
Did your light burn out?
Are you out of steam?
Did your sails rip down?
Was that because of me?
Talk some sense
Don't ask me for a favour
Cause I'm running out of kindness
Mindless games
You abuse just to bruise, tell me what did you really get?
I think the root to discover my happiness is to bite down on what my life expects
but I digress what I don't express and I blame others for my failed success can you
Talk some sense
Don't ask me for a favour
Cause I'm running out of kindness
Don't we know? How this goes? Can you please leave me alone
Your lifeline is on it's last line
My lifeline, its on my time
