What goes up must come down One arm up about to drown I knew that you were getting restless I need you now I’m half drown and gasping I have to learn what to do on my own now (Showed me love, doesn't stand a chance. It's not worth trying. Don't know how, I can trust again. You're always lying) When I get it right I’ll write you a postcard

For what it’s worth I feel left out Of every social gathering that I turn down It’s not that I want to stay home all week It’s that if I don’t I’m afraid that I won’t I sleep And I’ve heard your thoughts on how I should leave And I agree, but honestly I’m too afraid to forge my own path And leave this damaging routine I have in my past To chase a high that would be hard to make last Or deal with new people that I might like less I’m keeping up appearances for years until I can’t go back If you don’t then I won’t You don’t have to worry You won’t be alone Unless you want to be If you don’t then I won’t Cause I don’t know what I want If you don’t then I won’t I’ll stay home all night long But if they keep pushing me away I’m sure that I’ll leave without a trace I swear that this is the empty promise that I’ll make. I’ll make it! I’ll get out this, I’ll come get a drink after I quit I’ll talk to you for hours on end about all that I’ve missed And every opportunity I’ve had to resist And all of the friendships I’ve failed to keep up with I can’t take it back, but that’s not what the point is I’m here with you now so I’m not missing out If you don’t then I won’t You don’t have to worry You won’t be alone Unless you want to be If you don’t then I won’t Cause I don’t know what I want If you don’t then I won’t I’ll stay home all night long

You know I got a lot of baggage. Oh, shit! I think I left it at the terminal. Motherfucker, what a waste of twenty-hour flight. Everything was in there: Slim Jims; toothbrush; pillow for my sad naps; Star Trek on Blu-ray. I think this metaphor’s done, man. Soak it up alone. It’s a sickness to force on anybody. Quick game of hot potato. Get it right or get out the way. Go home. No one ever wants you here. NBD, son. You got the same one-view mindset. Go back where you came from. This isn’t real. Walk it off. Grab lunch with the birds that are flying around my head. Whoo, look who in the fuck walked in: A little Pelley-Maughn minion pointing out all of my flaws again. Maybe you should just run away. Common placement. The words mean nothing lately.

It feels like I've been starting to notice colours again for the first time. Those kind and dulcet tones, however melancholy, paired well with the sky; a lightened blue. Quiet and serene; maybe this is the start of something. And I have heard it said that anyone can bounce back. and if that's true, can you ever really be sure? As I watched the light fade, turned tarnished and grey, no longer reflecting. With no recollection of the hue of yesteryear, who's to say what's left here? I don't know why I think that things would work out or just happen for me. Getting out there only sent me back home with an emptiness thought to be long gone. Why? Why try when all of the worst things came true tonight? Why try when all of the worst things came true tonight? Can - can I? If I could, I would have - If I could, I would have. Can I? If I could, I would have - If I could, I would have. So there we are; here again.

I’d like to meet the man Who mumbles slightly I’d like to meet the man Who stumbles blindly into God Is his mind any more fragile Than my neighbor, Horace Sweet like swine Bend and groan Taking up your precious time So we may laugh until we sleep And we blame Horace My neighbor, bloated Sweet like swine Bent and grown Taking up our precious time To show life to the night, Clear the dust from your good advice I wanted it all for myself I wanted it all to terrorize the clerics My faults are all my fault To witness the writing Of biblical decrees What’s left now will bury me

(Verse 1) I’m sorry that things weren’t always the way I see them. Blinded by naivety. But I opened my eyes. And I see things for what they are. (Chorus) Seeds of lies Are cast and sown, Take root and hold, With thorns that choke. (Verse 2) I’m sorry that things weren’t always the way you saw them. Blinded by naivety. But I opened my eyes. And I see you for what you are. (Spoken Word Ending) Three inches of tongue divides six feet of man Barely restored and divided again Kin kill kin in acts of deceit And Seek the circles beneath our feet.

They say it’s pretty here Well maybe I’m jaded or I’m aiming this frame In the wrong direction This scenery makes decent fuel for introspection I tried to cover up what has turned into remnants Wishful tinsel It’s not aesthetically pleasing For the next few hours I can be somewhere else These days I need something beautiful and far away Trade in this foundation For asphalt and machinery You don’t think I can read maps Distance stains my vocabulary Geographic features like jagged rings (shattered glass) The space that separates you from me (The curved lines that lead you to me)
