night time comes
I lie down
stay in bed
fast asleep
and when the morning comes
daylight comes
lay me down
walk about
fast asleep
shadows show the way back to my box
lost between your walls
every second is an hour
painted walls elude the sunlight
my shadow cries
I live there alone
with the ghosts of bygone days
I was always
biding my time
casting silence in your garden
of forking paths
and spiraling thoughts
how could I have ever reached you
all my life
I was severed
from the things they said were true
I will go
far from here
until you can tell me
why I can’t
understand
the ways in which my
eyes roll back in my head
it’s frightening to see
take my senses away
please don’t be wrong
every second is an hour
painted shadows face the sunlight
borrowed fractures
stain the evening
I live there alone
with the ghosts of bygone days
I live here alone
with the ghosts of bygone days
echo
days that you forgot
while walking in your sleep
make me forget
make me
1234567
before I go tell me we're lost
lost in time we're falling out of phase

The Way It Is
03:09

Your words linger
Like a moment standing still in time
I’m stranded in between
What is felt and seen
Why do I feel like
The hourglass is empty each night
To justify the dread
I’ll wait for the end
I know
The days feel dull
Everybody says it’s so
But I’ve seen
The way they speak
The way they look at me
I know
It’s my own fault lacking context
Seems like nothing new
But I swear I was changed
Every day is the same
But I won’t let you into my head
Not like years before
Before I was one
And all the days they were young
Inside my head silence is never seen
Nothing is figured out
Cluttered by sentimental noise
I know
The days feel dull
Everybody says it’s so
But I’ve seen
The way they speak
The way they look at me
I know
But it could be
Unlike the past
A joy that didn’t last that long
It could be
Unlike the past
A joy that didn’t last very long

Café Triste

Eyes were following me down
The night till dawn how couldn't you see
I was right the whole time
Your broken heart was laid out in glass
A tribute to your aftermath
Oh I die
Every time
I see you go drifting by
End the night
For your delight
Sometimes morning's out of sight
It's getting late now
The night is fading
Taken place by the dawn's light
What more could I have ever hoped to be
For the rest of our lives
We're forced to be what everyone else sees
Wake with sickness in your skin
And shadows on the walls
Someone's in the corner
Who never was invited over
But oh I die
Every time
I see you go flowing by
End the night
For your delight
Sometimes morning's out of sight
It's getting late now
The night is fading
Taken place by the dawn's light
What more could I have ever hoped to be
For the rest of our lives
We're forced to be what everyone else sees
For the rest of our lives
We're forced to be what everyone else sees

Damp and Moldy

There were times I admired
Sleight of hand
Lack of holiness
I was bare like a broken road
I was held by his broken eyes
And he said please make it go away
No guarantees laugh it off today
Please make it go away
In my ears sounds of static noise
No one hears
I found what I hungered for
But it's all mixed up there is no up and down
Lost in the wind
Like an endless car crash thrown against the wall
Ill forgotten habits take their place
He was born undesired
Lacking skills they required
You were afraid you weren't admired
Not out of sight just tired
And he said oh no don't you go away
I know the sun is gray today
Please make it go away
Through the years I take it day by day
In the rooms haunted by a ghost
Who I once knew who laughed it off that day
I lost what was once found
Now it's fallen deep within cracks of your river bed
That once flowed from south to north right through my room
Damp and moldy memories lose their grace

Picture Today
03:02
|

|
What is wrong with every
What is wrong with every
Action without consequence
Action without consequence
God damn midnight itching
God damn midnight hurting
I’m standing in the way of
Past reanimating
It’s not lost on me
I’ve seen these pictures before
In a plight of nonesense
All must be rebroken
I’m definitely going where the aftermath preceeds the past
In a dim lit house
Shuddered from the breeze
I calmly made my way to
basement and I flooded my
Stripes with pleasant poison
Far beyond my control
I saw a picture today
I saw a picture today
It’s not lost on me
I’ve seen these pictures before
It’s not lost on me
I’ve seen these pictures before
Gonna let you down
I’m gonna let you down

And Again

Watch me falling out of touch
Watch me drifting off to bed
Counting the days
Misplaced time
Still awake
Still awake
Waiting impatiently
Watching the days go by
Now I'm definitely lost in dreams
Trapped by anxieties
You shook your wrists
Turned out the lights
Turned off my mind
You closed your eyes
We just fell out of time
Spending days wasting nights
All the years I slept through
Hidden away in the past
I'm sure I was correct
It never should have been like this
Oh no don't go
He said to me
Always be here
In man made harmony
All the empty rooms I roamed
Arches crumble coated black mold
But you stood there
For days waiting for me
Don't be for me
I have nothing left to give
We just fell out of time
Spending days wasting nights
All the years I slept through
Hidden away in the past
Protect my time as it runs away
All the time it feels the same
Protect my time as it runs away
All the time
Protect my time as it runs away
All the time it feels the same
Protect my time as it runs away
All the time it feels the same
Protect my time as it runs away
All the time it feels the same
