I Guess I'll See You...

When there's nothing more to give
I find myself looking back when times are thin
I see pictures but they're never moving straight
The lines are blurry, faces often I mistake
They're not you

Can't believe that things are over
How long I swung on a dead tree
You're a lying joke, I'm sorry I mistook
Your pathetic soul for a beating heart with a life and a goal
But I couldn't be more wrong
Now I see, the shoe is starting to fit
When I right my wrongs, you went and did them all
You're just a hypocrite
Didn't think you'd regress, that I made you so depressed
You'd have to find my carbon copy that we know won't last
Because he's nowhere as good as me
I tried my best, it got the best of me
Now I miss the days when I could sleep
It's all coming down: 4 years straight down to the ground
I fear the change but I'm not weak
Peace
I tried my best, I found the best in me
Life looks good when you know the truth
And I've made my choice, to send you out the door
I guess I'll see you later, dude

Just Takes Time

My eyes burn with pictures of fragmented solace
My head aches from thinking, my heart's bleeding malice
I'm dreaming awake and I'm sleeping through days
They all blur together, one day that's dismembered
And I can't keep living through memories
I can't keep moving in pieces
Won't waste time picking myself up
If I just stay down
But don't go, I'm just running in my own
head, with asmtha and broken legs
Things will change
It Just Takes Time
Was the sun always this quick to set?
Am I doomed to be a witness to what I'll never get?
When I move, it's a little soon or a second late
Right things at Wrong times, the essence of my fate
But I'd shatter if I could catch a break
A dozen blissful pieces bearing visions of your face
The night is late but I don't want to close my eyes
Cause when I wake, the life I lived will be a lie
So Just go, I'm stuck running in my own head
And I can't keep up
Things don't change (Just give it time)
Don't waste your time

Traces

She's looking to herself in retrospection
Her fingers trace the image in her brain
She's staring back into her own reflection
On canvases of different colored pains
Yet darkness never seemed to take her over
Her smile laughed away all misery
But behind her eyes I read a thousand stories
Of love and loss as far as eyes could see
She was immaculate
But she couldn't tell
Was just a tiny voice
In a sea of yells
But I can scream a little more
I have awoke, I have awoke, I am awake
And I hope that you know you've been on my mind every day
Yeah and I only hope, I only hope, I just have to pray
That I can calm the storm that's in your heart
And find a way to push these clouds apart
I know the truth won't find appreciation
All my words mean nothing more than solemn air
I clung to hopes and jumped into the ocean
They didn't pull me up and I drowned in my despair
Nevertheless
I can't sleep without thinking of your face
All those moments with you resonate
But now I'm much less off and I feel stuck in place
All I wanted to do was reciprocate
But I have awoke, I have awoke, I am awake
And I know that you know you've been on my mind every day
Yeah I only hope, I only hope, but hope was in vain
Cause I can't calm the storm that's in your heart
Can't find a way to tear these clouds apart

Now you're soaked
Mud's bled into your feet
You lost your shoes along the way
But you know you can't turn back now
Because you turned your back when she wanted you to stay
So you go, running from problems
While they stem from the feet in your step
They cripple your nerves and shatter your spine
Held back by fears you can all but forget
You've always walked, never tried to run
Never wonder off, home is at square one
Keep playing safe, don't stray too far
From a comfort zone behind bars
It's getting dark, you're losing sight
Keeping your eyes closed, blindly searching for a light
You're trying too hard to not try at all
You'' find a million reasons to second guess,
but you could change your whole life if you'd only say yes
You'' find your way back home
You'' find your way alone

Backhanded Compliments

The summer heat must have burnt far into our brains
Because our hearts were melting fast when we got lost inside each others gaze
But the summer turned winter, and the world began to freeze
We were slowly wearing down, turning frail like autumn leaves
Still hanging onto something, that has died just like our dreams
But letting go is much too hard, Cause I'm afraid to be alone with me
Our sick days soon became our sick lives
Suffocating under problems yours just as bad as mine
We're building cycles, starting new at every day
We found each other, but lost ourselves along the way
Conforming everything to keep the other one to stay
But we know, we can't go, a day more, with no bones
We love each other, but we're better off alone
Breathe, cry, hold and never let go
Love shines bold, we burned up in the glow
Lost all hope, dissolve into the snow
