Wake Up 05:03
On the odd days I park my car on the far side of the street And try to convince myself the best days aren't behind me while I sleep It's been two years since the west coast washed over my feet Now I'm alone again in my bed afraid of what I'll dream I don't see much reason in settling so why don't we just take what we need and leave? I don't see much reason in reasoning so why don't we just set all our demons free? Wake up with the sun Find the things you love It's never enough, never enough Find the things you love and let them kill you The way that you always knew that it could Broken in two Seasonal depression alcohol abuse and the truth Is leaving the room When the falsities prove it's all on you... all on you I fell asleep and if I die before I wake my soul you'll keep I fell asleep and if I die before I wake up...

Goodbyes never came easy but it's my last night in town Wanted the porch light smoke drifting winding down and I wanted you I still roll the windows down like I use to downtown and keep them up on the highway because it gets to you I get to you, I always You are the cracks in the pavement The rotting basswood that holds the basement ceiling up You are atlas struggling with the weight While even Sisyphus still found a better way Long drives to forget summer eyes You're masking thoughts of all these midnight lies With rumble strips and sighs So watch me slide to the right Away from these city lights Avoiding city lights

I've spent so much of my life wasting my time Just pacing back and forth in a place that I can't call my own But down and up the hall dim lit motivation falls and comes to a crawl With each step that I take towards the door So I give up on putting my feet on the floor Forever I'll rest in this bed Lets just call it my grave Because holding onto childhood memories Just isn't helping me Not anymore Turning pages in books of reveries Shows what minimum wage could afford But we were worth so much more You and I We were worth so much more These days are boiling over but my brain ain't sending any pain Everything keeps going numb in waves It's impossible to pull away Caught in its gaze like an addicts brain When reality is drought any escape is rain Cold sweat somebody shake me when I look frozen in place Because the days become a maze that I've built from nostalgia and guilt And I'm stuck in it... but down and up the halls where dim lit motivation falls You'll find handprints on the wall

We keep trying to dissolve and make believe that we are only water Too far gone to eradicate the dirt, we are not pure, we are not With salt beneath our fingernails drying out our hands We are capable of terrible things Can we ever be clean? Cab you see through the cracks in my skin? I know that you know where I've been Fine, I'll just lie in this bed and feel broken Stare at the ceiling with skeletons Alone there are no words that can save yourself This is your hell it can't be anybody else The last man to feel the way that I've felt It was the devil himself Reap what you sow on mossy stones In solace of every unwritten note That bends to never hit the mark I haunt former selves on ignorance I am a living ghost for this There's never enough time We keep trying to dissolve and make believe that we are Holy water Too far gone to eradicate the dirt, we are not pure, we are not

Locked out in the parking lot Sentenced to live in the limbo Between real health and someone Making up their mind Slowly holding on But we all know that true intention Rarely hits as soft as moving on It's more like buckshot Ringing out its own beautiful song You can try to escape your fate But the walls we build only keep Shielding us from infinities gaze We chose this place when you made your face The one that only showed remorse When someones burning at the stake I was burning Remember those days Spent wishing days away Well how does it feel now that you cling But you can't make them stay Grips loosening and when it breaks What new lows could we be forced to face? And I could've burned but I let it in Gave up martyrdom for this new sin So now I pray to reclaim my place Atop the embers burning out what I've let in Grips loosening and when it breaks What new lows could we be forced to face?

Heavy head on collision Empty split second decision Unsettling nostalgic bitter cross Something found from something lost A sprain of color, a passing sky Adrift and weightless through the night Lonely as the flood that you write Endless drag to anchor weary eyes Somewhere along this space You've torn the thread that Keeps us from pulling away I'm running out of things to say Dead to the thought Of salvaging anything anyway So one last prayer To a God that confuses me Then write you off I won't let you crucify yourself from apathy Somewhere along this space You've torn the thread that Keeps us from pulling away An aching tooth, an ankle sprained Phantom limb thoughts Let the absence sustain

Friction 03:51
If it's too much trouble That's all you had to say Wanted the chance to prove you're worth it I could see it in the way You used to play with fire Pursuing each desire causes sparks ...are you are friction Scrounging up the courage Like couch cushions hiding change Biding time to be unbound should For now I'll have to wait Because I can't leave my room Without choking on the pain I'd hate to see it written on my face You would too And that's why I abuse Myself and the trust of those I love We all regret holding onto one Promise we'll never fulfill That's why I'm letting go
