The Mess

The edges they frayed
As our minds they strayed
From the track that we followed
And the pride that we swallowed
My mirror is blurred, and I overheard
That without a clear reflection, comes little or no progression
I've given up, given up on this endless fight
All the love, all the lies, and the sleepless nights
I hear long haunting echoes, as I read through my memos
From the voice of the cold sea, and the one lying in me
I believe that we had something, the mess we made was quite stunning
Love can't live on credit, when this sank, you let it
So lessons learnt next time I'll try
To hold myself I won't deny
The greatest blow came from the best
So now I'll lie alone, and rest
It's for the best
But I don't see how
I'm gonna leave now
If you never try you'll never know
But please don't let this go
Said the voice of our old tree
And the one living in me
I believe that we had something, the mess we made was quite stunning
Love can't live on credit, when this sank, you let it
So lessons learnt next time I'll try
To hold myself I won't deny
The greatest blow came from the best
So now I'll lie alone, and rest
Whoa, whoa...
I believe that we had something, the mess we made was quite stunning
Love can't live on credit, when this sank, we let it
So don't blink now, or else I'm gone
Almost just to prove you wrong
And though I've tried I just can't shake it
You're the one who made us break it
I can't take anymore
So please tell me, can you tell me?
How we lost it all...

I'm So

So listen up now, I've got a story to tell about how
I dug myself a hole and couldn't climb back out
And while my heads' flooding, you'll find me still searching
For something to revive, this mind I'm stuck inside
Run down the same path everyday, everyday,
Never to change, it's always the same
It's always the same
Why even say it'll be okay, be okay, everyday
It's always the same
It's always the same
Without taste and without smell,
When life's this dull it's a living hell
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so selfish
Without my eyes, without my ears
I don't see how my judgement's clear
I act for self-riches
I'm so, I'm so
Caught up, in who I want to portray myself as
I'm so caught up in myself, that you and I ran, then tripped and fell
Into an untimely end
Into an untimely end
Without taste and without smell,
When life's this dull it's a living hell
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so selfish
Without my eyes, without my ears
I don't see how my judgement's clear
I act for self-riches
I'm so, I'm so
Oh I'm so
Without taste and without smell,
When life's this dull it's a living hell
It's a living hell
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so
I'm so sick

It's funny how we started out
First the flood and now the drought
I gotta say that I'm still stunned
By the way you are now
So let's defy all our instincts
Struggle through each day as my heart sinks
Finding answers is hard when there's none
I have no choice,
But to run
(You just salt my wounds)
To run
(You just salt my wounds)
(Such a waste)
Somehow he clawed and crawled right under my skin
(Such a waste)
Slowing my senses down like tonic and gin
(This bitter taste)
I'll show you the world that's inside of her head
(Such a waste)
All of the monsters that are under her bed
It's funny how I preached about, standing up so tall and proud
I gotta say that I'm still stunned, by the way I turned out
I'm quite hard to flatter a shape without matter, now who do I turn to?
This makes me wonder a force from down under, I'm seeing right through you
(Quite hard to flatter, you just salt my wounds)
Through you
(A shape without matter, you just salt my wounds)
(Such a waste)
Somehow he clawed and crawled right under my skin
(Such a waste)
Slowing my senses down like tonic and gin
(This bitter taste)
I'll show you the world that's inside of her head
(Such a waste)
All of the monsters that are under her bed
I'll show you the world that's inside her head

Mirrors

It's only when you look inside, you see pretty as a picture the life you left behind
I say everything's fine, but the image of the scene is burning a hole in my mind
In my mind, fight the signs, that I might, want a taste of this story again
I finally know, that I'm on my own
And there's no light, and there's no fight in me anymore
In me anymore
The smoke in my eyes makes it harder to see, but your breath in my ear is distracting me
From what's real, an illusion, this certain delusion is suffocating me
And I told him to go, get away from me please, before I'm begging on my knees
I can't breathe
I finally know, that I'm on my own
And there's no light, and there's no fight in me anymore
In me anymore
I finally know, that I'm on my own
And there's no light, and there's no fight in me anymore
In me anymore

Another Day

I hold these scars so close to me,
The mistakes of yesterday
And you just can't relate, to why I am this way
The mistakes of yesterday
I need someone to care for me,
Twisted minds are bound to break
And I won't let you in, 'cause you don't understand
How messed up I really am
Why do I feel so far from home?
Maybe alone is where I'm from
I've been waiting here so long
With no one knowing something's wrong
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
You turn your back on all my problems,
All my emotion is forgotten
And it amazes me, how you're so blind to see
That you are hurting me
Why do I feel so far from home?
Maybe alone is where I'm from
I've been waiting here so long
With no one knowing something's wrong
It's just another day, and another way
To fall to the ground
But not today I say, another day away
I will let you down
So another day, another day away
I won't make a sound
I won't make a sound
I'm slipping away
