“Overwhelmed”

How can you expect me to explain, how a heart once filled is now completely drained?
With all this silent discontent in our minds, it’s surprising that we lasted for so long

When we all need some time to be on our own
Now was it just our fragile minds or the selfishness that broke us down this time?
I am overwhelmed, over you, you and I...  

Loves’ a blinded path with so many turns, we’ll let our walls come down to hear those three sweet words
Not always does it work out as it’s planned, but what hurts us, helps us grown to understand
That we all need some time to be on our own 

Now was it just our fragile minds or the selfishness that broke us down this time?
I am overwhelmed, over you, but you and… 

I’ve said, all I can say to make you see my way
But you, you’ve got your mind made; you say that I have changed

Now was it just our fragile minds or the selfishness that broke us down this time?
I am overwhelmed, over you, you and I...
There are no parting words, only piece of mind
It’s surprising that we last for so long…


 

“California" 

You say someday you’re moving out of here, off to California… maybe L.A.
The suns’ so bright on the stars you walk, on these city sidewalks… in your mind

You’d give up everything to be apart of a scene
You’d give up everything to be apart of something, you don’t believe

It’s so cold back here, I wonder how you are? We haven’t spoke in so long, maybe a year
We miss your face, we thought it was a phase that you’d work through… that you’d work through

You’d give up everything to be apart of a scene
You’d give up everything to be apart of something, you don’t believe

And I don’t know what to say to you, it’s been so long since I could talk to you
And I don’t know where you are and I don’t know who you are… and I don’t know

You’d give up everything to be apart of a scene
You’d give up everything to be apart of something, you don’t believe
you don’t believe…

 

 

“Follow Me"  

Your words stuck inside my head today
The things you said, can't seem to hide away
Where did it go wrong, we don't know
The cost of freedom, how the meanings grown

But all we hear are words
Are we still to believe?
that you can "follow me till terror and deceit
falls apart, it's what I know will be and you'll see"

The rising water under your big hands
Your own soil, your people, why'd you abandon them?
The lack of green that flows in these low lands
Couldn't buy the time the third world can

But all we hear are words
Are we still to believe?
that you can "follow me till terror and deceit
falls apart, it's what I know will be and you'll see"

So now when I read about war I am filled with doubt of why, of when?
But how can we pull them out? death, did we plan this out? oh why? oh when?
But all we hear are words
Are we still to believe?
that you can "follow me till terror and deceit
falls apart, it's what I know will be and you'll see"


 

“Here It Goes" 

All those times that I’ve tried, I almost kept it inside from you
Some days I don’t know where I am, I am lost and found and thrown
Around again in my mind

I never told you about it, I never thought you would know
So here it goes, it’s not the way that I wanted to say
But here it goes; oh I want you to know
I never thought I’d be in this world I am today
So here it goes

And I wish to turn the hands of time and change the way you’re feeling, I was blind
You’re numb. Empty words and solitude it’s a haven now, it’s your haven now

I never told you about it, I never thought you would know. That you would know
So here it goes, it’s not the way that I wanted to say
But here it goes; oh I want you to know
I never thought I’d be in this world I am today
So here it goes

But you don’t know, where to go from here
And how fast those years go by, those years go by
But you don’t know, where to go from here
And how fast those years go by, you don’t know why
Those years go by...

 

“Younger Skin" 

Looking at you to me, so young, so long ago it seems
My colored dreams and younger means, the whole world in front of me

But you are me, come on back
This younger skin, come on back to me

Chances lost and I believe that age fades dreams, these older eyes aren’t blind
The lines I see, stare at me. The mirror won’t lie to me this time

But you are me, come on back
This younger skin, come on back to me

But I’m full of all these honest mistakes
That made me who I am today

And there’s no way I will waste what lies ahead
Of me
So come on back
Come on back to me
Please come on back
Come on back
Come on back to me

 

“I Am Alone" 

We have been though this, when will it end?

I am broken inside and I'm wearing thin

You don't choose love or losing a friend

You are selfish and I'm giving in

 

We are bound by paper and shame

 

While I am alone

Roommates at home

Oh I've tried to say that we've grown apart

But you only pull much harder

 

Feeling locked in, by what you might do

But you'll hurt yourself and only you

Can grow up and send me away

You don't know now, but you'll thank me someday

 

Now go and find yourself

 

While I am alone

Roommates at home

Oh I've tried to say that we've grown apart

But you only pull much harder

 

So go, go find yourself

But don't deny yourself

And go, go be yourself

And go, go fuck yourself

 

I am alone

Roommates at home

Oh I've tried to say that we've grown apart

But you only pull much harder

 

 

“Wasted Time" 

 

Slowly I will leave a lifetime of disease

That's built itself inside, so fucking quietly

There's no time to grieve, I still can't believe

I'm giving up a life to rest eternally

 

I feel like I'm wasting my time

The drugs I'd take won't ease my mind

 

I can barely breathe, hair no more on me

This is what I've come to, so frail and skinny

The family that I made, are telling me stories

While my eyes are closing, I hear them clearly

 

I feel like I'm wasting my time

The drugs I'd take won't ease my mind

I feel like I'm wasting my time

 

I close my eyes now for good

I close my eyes now for good

 

 

“Never an End"

 

I don't know what you want from me

I'm sure you don't know what you need

In time we'll find out what we're learning now

In time we'll find out what it means

 

I know I'll stumble through our life

But I will do the best I can

I won't have all the answers to

All your questions left unsaid

 

But I'm nothing if we fall apart

I'll guide you to the shore in light or dark

I'll be there when you need a friend

I'll be there like there's never an end

 

You don't know what you mean to me

I'm sure you'll never really know

There's no words that I can tell you now

We are safe here you and me

 

But I'm nothing if we fall apart

I'll guide you to the shore in light or dark

I'll be there when you need a friend

I'll be there like there's never an end

 

Completely selfless I have become

In your arms

You inspire me to be

What I dream is here and now

And always with you

 

But I'm nothing if we fall apart

I'll guide you to the shore in light or dark

I'll be there when you need a friend

I'll be there like there's never an end
