Writing me off again. Digging my way to them. Running me off the ledgers chasing the edge again, all the way down.
The light breaks. But for how long? Take some time, wash it off but it still comes. Here it comes again and again.
I have been been struggling. I have been wandering.
Writing me off again.
Just getting used to this. I’m not following you if you run back to all your problems. Shrouded in negativity only when there’s nothing left to say. Please don’t me for help if you’ve already learned to solve them.
All these empty books, they’re all filled up with you.
All the stories you never told me were all true.
Keeping a clean slate. Was I nothing to you?
To keep the monster inside of you, what would you do?
Black it out/shove it down.
We’re getting nowhere now.
Tie it up, drag it out underground.
Black it out. Shove it down. We’re going nowhere now.

Reflecting all these tired eyes and I can’t seem to pass away the time where I was the picture of a Summer’s night and ending, fell apart.
They say I’m not supposed to feel.
The pressure grows and you wonder how I got this far.
They say I’m not suppose to feel.
I don’t know why I do.
I’m drowning caught up in the dark and I can not seem to tell the two apart where I was the picture of a Winter’s night and ending someone else.
You think you know how to tell these two apart? Well you think how to pass the time? Drown.
You think you know. Well you don’t know.
Reflecting, I can’t seem to tell the two apart. It won’t stop.
Its getting close to you.
I’ve never got this far. No escape.

It’s not the normal kind and it just happens to sync up with you. And I find it hard to tell them all the stories that we thought would never make it alive.
I’m taking big steps. I’m coming for you. Holding your interest. You want it too. I know you want it too.
It never went the way it did. It never happened like the day we happened to kiss.
“I hope it’s crossed your mind.”
In a crowd of people but not one of them is seeing inside.
I need to make this last a little longer while the light hits your eyes.
Evaporate, disintegrate now.
Chasing and chasing, I’ve been waiting and waiting on the sparks from your fingertips or the way we happened to kiss.
It never happened like the way happened to kiss.

You said you want to talk it out. Well let’s get this over with. Just remember you asked for this. I remember. Let’s go back.
Watered down with good intent. It never used to look like this until the end.
And I’ve been running and I’ve been thumbing through the pages of my mind.
I don’t hear a voice that sounds like mine.
You want to talk it out? Let’s go.
I’m finding new ways to cope.
I just can’t figure it out.
You said I’m not alone but alone is all I’ll ever know.
So I’ll have to keep on saving myself.
You wanna talk it out?
You can’t just black it out.
You won’t find a voice now.
Opened eyes can’t pretend. I don’t want to waste my life before it begins.
And I’ve been running and I’ve been struggling through the days and through the nights.
I don’t hear a voice that sounds like mine.

The Chase

Horns. I’ve got them under there.
Learn. I keep them unaware.
Each time I die something inside of me starts to grow. I can’t understand why.
I track my steps, a cloudy path of least resistance.
No more wandering. No more confidence.
So I start. I keep on tearing all my love apart.
Coming alive while I’m falling apart. Watching the dark to find what makes it stop.
The silver line. It peels right off the second that I stop digging to find it’s not inside.
No more wandering. No more confidence.
It won’t stop.

All of these thoughts can’t grab on
Yet we’re forced to hold on tight.
And I’ve been wondering when will we go home.
You’ve heard me say that we’ve been oh so strong, yet we’re forced to hold on tight. I’m dedicated. I swear I’ll be just fine.
Our time spent hoping that heat waves won’t cloud our perception.
And each night spent wasting away.
Our descent. The last of our strength can hold us together.
Contradictions take up every space in my head. It’s getting colder. The air is getting just too dry to breathe.
You think you’ve got it bad? You think you’ve got it bad as I?
The lights are out, there’s no where else left for me to hide. I’m switching sides.
You think you’ve got it bad. You think you’ve got it? Why, just try.
The wait is over. I swear this will subside.
Keep your eyes shut and don’t slip away. Stand up straight.
Stay with me. If you leave this crack will grow and grow and grow.
It’s all falling in now. You’re calling; I’m falling. No one can control any of my words.
Contradictions take up every space in my heads.
Just drop it all.
