you scared me half to death that night
are you having the time of your life
while you're trying to give up the fight?
if your skin has you caught in a bind
just a moment in time ill defined
Nothings better than staying alive ~
send me away, I'm the mistake
honestly I can’t give more than I take
drawn to the grave still
sanctuary always scared me
(why? I’ll never die, try as I might, I can’t go through with just taking my life, I can’t complain, can’t shift the blame, I can just live with all my past mistakes.)

Pattern of Resolve

taking a long walk and clearing your head when you'd rather be fighting or staying in bed
you're killing some time so your mind can unwind
you're killing some time for the clarity you might find
giving yourself up into the unknown
giving yourself space to just let it go /
breathing in slow motion to control the feelings you know that you shouldn't let take hold
when you get back home you'll find that you are calm
its not running away its just walking it off
getting outside your head gaining perspective on
your situation i guarantee you're better off
making mistakes is a part of your life that you cannot let start to define your sense of self
your sense of pride, just killing time, just trying not to die
i know it feels you’re all on your own, intentions unknown, just pick up the phone,
I bet someone's home to talk it out
you don’t know why you get so tired when you don’t sleep for days at a time
take a breather think about things from a new perspective you’ll see
when you get back home you'll find that you are calm
its not running away it's just walking it off
getting outside your head take time reflect upon
how you got here and you will be standing
taller than when you were just a speck dissolved
in the middle of a pattern of resolve
larger pictures always help you gain a
deeper understanding of the cause
when you get back home you will be standing tall
its not running away its just walking it off
getting outside your head gaining perspective on
your situation I guarantee you're better off

Transatlantischism

When I see the daylight I swear I’m coming home
sick of all this waiting through separate time zones
we’re talking on and on across the aisle
guess all this waiting's not my style anymore
when I see your face again after time apart I swear I’ll never leave your side again
but visas and employment are throwing wrenches into everything
how much can people grow
a year point five alone
will we even know each other
is there even hope?
am I waiting for nothing?
Setting off to foreign shores with broken oars
Smashing windows opening curtains to the world
You're always on my mind so I'm never alone
Is there a place I can call home?

Under the Sun

Lets go~
Been thinkin lots these days
About the way things change
And nothing stays the same
And you know that
The greens they turn to greys
And all the color fades
I see it in your face
Lie alone, when you're at home
You're asleep, the world keeps on going
Its all the same
Isn't it?
Nothing new, under the sun
Ohhhh nothing feels worth it when you’re sleepwalking through your life
Lucid dreams become nightmares and nothing ever seems quite right
losing old friends and making amends is, all I can do now, that this is over.
Still cant believe I made it this far without any closure or sense of composure
(Miles between us but I won’t forget you
Swept in and opened my eyes when I met you
I can’t help myself I can’t help but run my mouth when you are the one I talk about)
Lie alone, when you’re at home
Youre asleep, the world keeps on going
Its all the same
Isnt it?
Nothing new, under the sun
M o v e!
A lifetime spent underwater
Waiting for my oxygen to expire
Screaming until my lungs collapse
I cant see the light
Im coming up for air
(I hope I get the chance to see you again
don't know of the where or the when
but if you are in this with me like I am with you
who knows what together we'll do?)
Take this hope from my hands
turn it into something useful
Lie alone, when you’re at home
Youre asleep, the world keeps on going
Its all the same
Isnt it?
Nothing new, under the sun

TV

Do you think it’s boring? The way we sat around
I don't disagree but I'm missing it right now
I didn't take it for granted
While you were still here
I know that it is better now but I don't know if I can make it through this year
Do you wanna watch some tv?
I don't care what it is, as long as youre with me
Fought for years against my worst compulsions and actually won out
So why do I miss sitting with you on our shitty couch?
I never thought I'd miss doing nothing
The hours we lost, searching for something
To fill up our lives or bring some fulfillment
To our empty nights
Surrounded by strangers
Do you wanna watch some tv?
I don't care what it is, as long as youre with me
Fought for years against my worst compulsions and actually won out
Still I miss sitting with you on this shitty fucking couch
I never thought I'd miss doing nothing
The hours we lost, searching for something
Fought for years against my worst compulsions and actually won out
So why do I miss sitting with you on our shitty couch?
One bad dog and a couple of beers, wont keep me at peace for the next couple years
When the city thaws some time in may, promise me that you’ll still see me the same way
Miles between us but I won’t forget you
Swept in and opened my eyes when I met you
I can’t help myself I can’t help but run my mouth when you are the one I talk about
(when you get back home, you'll find that you are calm. It’s not running away it’s just walking it off)
(sanctuary always scared me)
