You never really meant much to me
Until you said "goodbye"
For the first and last time
Burning bridges,
In order to find your senses
Getting lost between the lines
And making messes
Funny how we changed from strangers to friends
Now we're back at strangers again
The person I know becomes someone I knew
Time is all we used to have
But a second now seems too violent
And all I have is this need to blame you
My mouth's shut but my minds running
The only person I hate is the one I miss
I'm fine, that's not your problem
You're gone and I'm lost in all of this
Tried to follow a broken compass
All this damaged glass and memories
These shattered lines seem endless
My faith in you is gone forever

It's hard to be honest when I am not true to myself
Grown way too fond of you in these past few years
And I've never let it show but you know that
Hiding my emotions, that's what I'm good at
Ignored the warning sign, for the second time
Tried to keep some distance cos you're unavailable
You were behind the wheels at the scene of the crime
Couldn't stop at the red light in front of you
Just listening to the sirens
Disappointed? No problem,
I'm used to it, just used to it...
My loneliness is an anthem
Uninterested, I knew that look on your face
Always making excuses trying to seem innocent
But the problem wasn't me, it was your disgrace
And your lies they never helped you fix your mistakes
Watching the sky change from black to blue
Its been more days than i can count but i still cant get over you
I'm like a magnet for misfortune and pain
is it love or is this just another game
I've got an army march and its me going to lay in bed
And reconsider all my actions, leaving me brain dead
I never used to get my hopes up and for a good reason
You string me along across all the seasons
And now my expectations come crashing down and look at the mess im in
And just look at the mess im in

Losing Sleep

It's time to say goodnight again
On a bed, we used to share
The room still smells like you
Cos I remember when you spilled perfume
You can still see it,
the stains on the carpet
Permanently contrasted the tone
Of the room as it darkens
Procrastinating from the real problems
As distance has no effect on me
Avoiding dreams by losing sleep
Just to prevent you from running in my head
My headaches leave me paralyzed
All this pain in all these empty spaces
You say you're sorry but you're not
I guess I'll rest when I die

I know I push you away sometimes
All these worries leave a seed for thought
I've been dealing with them on my own
And you're the closest I've ever got
To fulfilling all of my dreams
The gleam of your eyes feels like home
And now you've left me home alone
But where are we now?
Where are we now?
I know you'd be nowhere to be found
And I'm starting to lose my ground
Can you at least show me a sign?
All I ever wanted to do was call you mine
It didn't take long for you to move on
This abandoned home is full of ghosts
Yet as empty as the far east coast
It was always longing for some love
But I guess it'll have to stay this way
The picture frames remain the same
And your conscious remains unwary
The love that this home used to hold
Is now gone, and it's never been this cold

Lone Wolf
02:32
|
|||
|
Strange faces appear to haunt you
Patiently waiting for some companion
With an overwhelming realization
That your solitary life consumes the best of you
You're always connecting but never actually connected
As you are becoming more and more cynical
Which puts you right on top of the lone wolf list
Howling from time and time again
Lets hope that your call will reach them
So you can join their ranks
And be the animal you are
Isolated journey into the woods, you go
You said you want to be as far away from home
But you don't know what its like to be alone

Grim Reaper

"What am I doing with my life?"
It's the same question again
My actions have no value (and its bothering me)
Breathing doesn't even make sense anymore
"It gets better" (thats what my shrink said)
So I consume this unhelpful advice
That never seemed to help me
Just like writing this stupid pointless lines
So that I can spill out what's on my mind
I'd be better off self-medicating in my room
But how can save myself if I don't know who I am
Facing a stranger in mirrored reflections
This unfamiliarity is a goddamn infection
Barely surviving with these loose change
Still hoping that this band would help
Wouldn't work with nothing to earn
Couldn't even reach a simple breakeven

Concrete House

I made my heartbeat consistent
But when it comes to you
I can't find the balance
It's not as strong as a concrete house
The seasons keep changing
So does your state of mind
But it's not your fault
That you've been brought up like that
Sometimes things will never change
And there's nothing we can do about it
Maybe take the bullet and move on
"Leaving"
Such a violent word
Its, strangling your fragile heart
I don't think I can handle that
Certainly not a sheltered house without walls
Without walls
I've been staring at the ceiling
Hypnotized by the contrast of emptiness
by the lack of explanation
I've been left spinning in my own sleep
Your laughter, still echoes sometimes
I never knew how loud my apartment was
With your presence
Which never seemed to haunt me

Consequences
02:42
|

|
Consequences that you have to face
But you try to frame it all on me
The bag of burden that I have to carry
Along with your loss of sanity
Whats the point when I'm just a resource
That you don't care about, unless when you require
Someone to prove your innocence
But we all know you're a liar
I'm sick and tired of listening to your bullshit issues
That don't mean a thing
Can't you see the shadows under my eyes
From all the late nights, you force me into x2
Watching you fall for the wrong guys
Is just second nature to me
You remind me of the footprints on a beach
Fading, like the promises you keep
I hope you're happy with your choices
Because this is the sort of life you want to lead
So when you're having a crisis
Remember, this is who you want to be

Remember that time
when you were so sure that we'd last forever?
I've always had my doubts
but you had hope which I believed in
In just a couple of days I was right
(" well that escalated quickly..." i know)
Go ahead pretend like you're fine
I'll try to fill the hole in my heart
While you fill the hole between your thighs
Why does your shadow keep creeping up on me?
You don't even exist anymore
Hand me the gun and I'll show you
What it feels like being in my shoes
This time it's me who took the eraser
and cleared the board
How does it feel being on the other side?
(I'll let you have a moment and think about it)
While I steal your box of chalks
To draw an image that doesn't include you
You presume that I feel the same
When you said you miss me
