- Bound With Time
If I could ask her a single thing. It would be, “How do you make me feel so pure, like I am seen?” Her heart stretched as far as one could see, Hard to pass her up, it was me.
Mild spring days, is what we were, Mustn’t we forget, he was what you preferred. Your love for him would never break. No matter how hard you tried to run away.
As hard as I tried I could never break, Her love for him, it was bound with time. The waiting game, I was losing, don’t you see? Your love for him, it was bound with time.
Was it fun holding close to what you felt was home? With a season’s change you’d lost all you had known. Was it fun holding close to what you felt was home? With a season’s change I no longer felt alone.
The weather always tells the truth, April knows much more than me and you.

Long ago I was told you can’t hold on to joy and grow old. Where were you when I walked home alone? Don’t wonder why I have not been able to smile or grin from ear to ear. I have not been happy in years.
It’s a feeling that dies in the summer and haunts me in the winter. I still have not conquered my fears.
Don’t wonder why I traded care for fear, It’s a feeling I blame on the past, one that left tangles in my hair. Take life for granted and watch it glide by. Mine passed me by and left me with both my hands tied.
It’s true when they say I’m lying to myself, I’m flipping through pages looking for help.
Skies will transform, I cannot say I’m content. You say I’ve changed, well I have not found myself yet.
- Foxholes
Well, I listened closely to hear what the ocean would say. It read, "80 years of stagnance, as if it matters any ways". "and if at first you don't succeed, staple these words to your head before you end up like me". I don't exist, but I wish I did. The tule fog it carries on, it haunts my mind like when I was young. There are mistakes we cannot outrun even after we are gone. I don't exist, but I wish I did. I shed my skin in front of you, I swear I tried to make things right, but my sorry's won't stop my dreams where I crash my car every night. If we are all believers in foxholes, then it's not for me. You can ask around about how I don't believe in anything, and why the sun won't shine for me. Have you ever seen black eyes like these on anyone else? It's not hard to believe, and I think you'd agree I did this to myself.
- Growing Feigns
still have dreams and nothing’s changed, all of my fears just rearranged into these shades of black and grey, concrete says more than I do these days I try to outrun this growing pain, the same one that taught me how to push everyone away and dig this grave, until my feet drag again the bed I’ve made is where I'll lay. Sleep walking through these worthless nights, sleep talking to just feel alive until this skin doesn’t feel so cold one day. The winter passed as I did, when I became the faults I hid. You ask, I swear that I am okay. “Am I okay”? The distance between you and me is much farther than eyes can see. I held my breath and forced myself to choke on it, in hopes that the past was one that I could forget. I searched the sea to find myself, but it was too late. I dragged the lake and everyone who cared just faded away.

In the end I was hoping for disaster, with our anchors crossed our ships sank faster.
The queen of deception, or a victim of misconception. I took time to figure things out, but my heart is a shadow of self doubt. I still blame myself.
You said I had a way with words, but did you know that they would force you into an ocean of girls? Ones who followed each other’s lies when they said, “the sky would open up if you just held up your head.” I moved on to better things.
We moved on to better things. You have way too much time on your hands, while you had time to waste I had lies to face.
I’m done blaming the past for my mistakes, but promises are just lies that you say. Some things are better left unsaid.
