On my way

By the way I didn't leave without a trace
Didn't know that you wanted me to stay
Stuck in place, dreaming of the better days
Let's be real I kinda thought I heard you say
Why can't you see what they see
She's everything to me
So what's wrong if I'm moving on with you
The shadows ever so slowly drift
To my wake
Too long they follow
Rusting with the day
Little red on the road
Was it ever moving too fast or too slow
I can't quite remember
But I won't amend
The fractures the bends
The retraction of answers
There it went, here we go
Every other time that I'm back on the road
I start to remember
The taste of regret
Is hard to forget
But the trees and the plants turn
There it went, here we go
Every other time that I'm back on the road
I start to remember
The taste of regret
Is hard to forget
But the trees and the plants turn

Curiosity
03:26

Why do we always wonder what's in store
I don't wanna focus on the details anymore
Of course our sun shall set
Hope it hasn't yet
But I'm better off avoiding the question
My back turned to it all
Maybe tomorrow I'll turn the headlights on
But I'm so forgetful and follow with ease
Need to spend some more time outside
I haven't been feeling alright
What are you hiding
You lie through your teeth
But your world is you
And my world is me
Let's just promise one thing
That we won't get killed by curiosity
Does it lure you in
While you go to work another 9 to 5 again
Beneath your demeanor of subtle regret
Lies all of the things that you've never said
Are you convinced that it's better unheard
Or are you the martyr of all of your swallowed words
Well maybe tomorrow I'll turn the headlights on
But I'm so forgetful and follow with ease
We could spend some more time outside
But have you been feeling alright
What are you hiding
I thought we'd agreed
That your world is you
And my world is me
When we promised one thing
That we won't get killed by curiosity
No we won't get killed by curiosity
I haven't been feeling alright
What are you hiding
I thought we'd agreed
That your world is you
And my world is me
When we promised one thing
That we won't get killed by curiosity
No we won't get killed by curiosity

The Ashes
03:25
|

|
I water all those plants the way you recommended
It doesn't seem like it'll be enough
Seeping through the dirt and rolling down my walls
Maybe someday I will clean it up
But not today
I'll leave the stains
'Cause since the fall
I'm scared I haven't changed at all
For the last few months I've had an eye twitch
To piss me off till I go back to sleep
Though I don't wanna take the day for granted
I feel more at home inside my dreams
So every day
I sleep too late
The closet door
Barricades a cluttered floor
You only see
The best in me
I've burnt it out
Sweeping up the ashes now

Hostility

Hostility hostility
Hostility hostile
Come build a home inside of me
To crumble at your will
Your will
Your will
Your will
Your will
Your will
Did you make the bed from which you wake every morning
How often are the exit doors patrolled
Averting your gazes as you brush your teeth
Or recognize the faces of control
Full of hostility hostility
Hostility hostile
Come build a home inside of me
To crumble at your will
Your will
Your will
Your will
Your will
Your will
The less you listen, the less you're told
What's been clouding your view
A vessel that can heave a sigh
Detached and not immortalized
You don't even wonder why it's happening at all
Full of hostility hostility
Hostility hostile
Come build a home inside of me
To crumble at your will
Your will
Your will
Your will
Your will

Echo Chamber

How have you been
Answer for my sake
I've swallowed the distance
And a truth you couldn't take
But I'm not sorry
I'm not sorry
The only promises I'll ever make
Resound inside the echo chamber of I's
Nothing to give
Don't say a word
Maybe I'm guarded
What have you heard
Could I know the difference
The illusions grow thinner behind your resistance
And I'm not sorry
I'm not sorry
The only promises I'll ever make
Resound inside the echo chamber above my eyes
The only promises I'll ever make
Resound inside the echo chamber of I's
