Waiting Game
05:41
|

can you follow through and keep your word?
or am i your fool?
can't you see i'm in no state to survive
with my thoughts
can i see myself in 10 or 15 years
and run?
this waiting game leads me astray
leads me to beg for control
i don't know where this is going
i will try to stay on track
but am i coming or going?
coming or going?
words will always be the last thing i think before
this old head clears itself enough to see
they were wrong
lead me in the right direction
i will try to stay on track
but am i coming or going?
coming or going?
lights and sounds hide me from pity
reassurance is so dull
so now i'm coming and going
hiding and fighting
self loathing keeps problems from sticking
SO
i'll run to avoid question
in hand for attention
love and affection

i will call you up now and again
just to act like a friend
and i will tell you all of the things
that keep me from sleeping
these chords they really make no sense
and my hands they are dead
but i will strike these chords with no regret
i won't forget; i won't forget
so i sing to myself for 23 hours a day, just to keep me sane
because whether i'm out on the streets or with my friends,
i don't want to seem dead
no no no no no no no no no no
just vague
but if you wanna call me up
and tell me all the things that fucked me up
i will gladly listen in, following
through with sin
i'm following through with this
the days of you leading my life are gone
cause i can go in and out of time
if thats what i want
cause it's so much smarter and simpler
to please myself
and put myself in front
so gone are the days of me trying to keep you sane
to get you to look at the world in a different way
to get you to feel something other than this obvious and pointless
pain

Elastic

smells; incense; a candle burning
chemicals mask your room
it's happening too soon
blood red thighs; more like rolling eyes;
a painted smile that won't be found
anytime soon
you say "i've found it",
no you've just lost it
and now you'll cop it right where it
hurts the most
you say "he's ok, and he's for always"
and you know it
yeah you know it
do you?
his hearts elastic; your heart is plastic
his hips are hoping; your head is broken
and it's all fine watching it from the edge
until your pulled in
in his final moments you will howl and cry for all the time lost
your STUPID THOUGH PROCESS
once you say the words it's heard
HIS FIRST YOU'RE THIRD
but it never really mattered
photos of hollie and michael are lovely
but their love is hardly co-incidental
and wondering and thinking well thats just fine
until you ask, "where's mine?"
SHE CAN'T WAIT ANOTHER SINGLE SECOND
grey hairs, wrinkles, and moles are starting to form
with no-one to tell her
CONFIDING HER LONELINESS TO HER MOTHER
resulted in the abuse of cheap red wine
and the thought;
"NO-ONE WILL HOLD ME WHEN I DIE"

Fallout
03:41
|

pick up a drink, stare at the lights, follow your friends, say that you're fine
and expect no consequence
because you are un-touchable
i'll confront the problems you've left behind
i'll pick up the pieces and i'll rise
calling forth
your best shot
hit me when my eyes are on the ground
and tell me this is all part of your
fallout
i'll call you up, even though i already know all of your thoughts
i'm holding onto the notion you'll wake up feeling better
and move on, and live life, without this tinge of sadness
that i cannot seem to handle anymore
i'm calling forth
your best shot
i'll pick you up when your heads on the ground
but don't tell me this is all part of your
fallout
you are young and you are stupid just like us
life has only just begun
you'll look back at the chapter of your life
and you'll realise the place you held it in your head was
a lie
calling forth
your best shot
don't fall head first in that hole again
be proud knowing soon you'll sing your song
of redemption
