Better Off

Pardon my absence; I misplaced my passion
Got caught up in the unknown
Fell of the wagon, thoughts follow my actions
My conscience needs space to grow
You didn’t even know I waited out the winter
Holding onto your fire that used to keep me warm
I’m searching for an escape, got lost finding my way
I know we’re better, I know we’re better off
So throw me into the waves, I don’t wanna be saved
I know we’re better, I know we’re better off lost
My made up condition is blinding my vision
My remedy shadows me
The question I’m fighting is, “am I worth finding?”
I’m happy with lost at sea
Me, myself and I; we fight the tide
Our hands are tied to a lifeline.

You only like me when I focus on the better things
Glass never empty, filling cups with nauseous energy
Sick of pretending I’ve found peace in mediocrity
I climbed the walls to find release, we’re sinking
What does it take to make amends?
Where is the beauty in madness?
We live outside the lines
Committed to our crimes
I’ve been living with this bug-bite in my brain that’s driving me insane
Tell me what it takes to fix what I became
Tell me what it takes so I can live again.
I burnt the old house down and threw the ashes in the sea
This lucid dreaming painful reruns of reality
There was a point in time when all of this made sense to me
It tastes bittersweet accepting progress with my tendencies
December came and went again,
I can’t stop shaking I get lost in my own head
Whatever happened to passion?
Time goes ready or not, there’s nothing we can do but hold onto what we’ve got.

Don’t wanna be the one to let you down but I can’t keep picking up the pieces
You always took your shoes off in the house
I can’t let myself get comfortable that feelings not allowed
Can you tell me how?
We lost everything in symmetry
We drop bombs with our complacency
When it all falls down, I’ll be right where you left me just a smirk on the surface
Feel it in my lungs like I’m breathing fire
In a hotel room with a famous liar
Can I get new wings if I just get higher?
Can I kill all the sad songs with desire?
We needed something different, we’re too close to know the difference.

Sweetest Sin

I’m not a saint, but I’ll take your pain if you need an escape
Please stay, there’s a spot on my pillowcase
Are you afraid? I’m sick of the way that my thoughts take shape
And your energies contagious when you’re in range
I wanna be your only medicine; your sweetest sin
I wanna sink my teeth into your skin; your sweetest sin
Hung by a thread that I found in my bed, it's too late to address
Your sweat, clinging like the smoke of a cigarette
“What’s on your neck?” I hate the question, I’ll save my breath
Cause I don’t wanna give us away just yet
Pull me close, grab my throat
Cause I know you can’t help yourself
Rip my clothes; flaws exposed
Feel my bones, think of someone else
You’re a ghost, where’d you go?
You were there when I needed help
We’ll never grow, without a home
Lost my soul when we lost ourselves.

I’d rather live with the answer than die with a question
Sit and scream in the driveway, starve me of my aggression
We could be the best disease
Blending colors we can breathe
If these walls could speak, would you speak to me
If the silence screams and the youth retreats?
I’ll try not to make you feel unhappy
I just want to be the song that’s on your lips
I can hear when the train comes, it wakes me up when you’re leaving
Tell me what does the truth mean, if you’re not there to hear it
I need to know what this could be
Is this really all there is for me?
There’s a flaw in make believe
I slip behind the paint that hides the brick
You’ll never know how much I think of it
Is everyone around me just a ghost, am I alone?
Oh god, where’d you go?

Wishing Well

I’ll start a war with the fences holding back my good intentions
Cause I’ve locked myself away to keep this filthy mirror safe
What is the cure for obsessing, waking up to second guessing?
Will the silence keep me safe or have we lost our way?
Where is the progress, where is the picket fence?
That stable ground to walk on got lost in yesterday
Throw me a rope now, I’m at the bottom of a wishing well
My hope is all I lean on, the day tomorrow came
Watch the oxygen reach surface, while the current pulls me down
It’s so ironic building walls, today you fell and broke your crown
Hearts will disintegrate, live with the choice you make
If you go where I can’t follow, I’ll be there anyway
Time slips away
I’m not a slave
You throw flowers out of towers that grew wild on my head
You beg sheep you led to slaughter not to look the other way.
