Funnily, I don’t believe Anything your pretences won’t pass by me. not a single fabrication greying, the cararacts that bind unpleasantness to more than my own sight I guess you could colour me in spite Here lies your lies force fed into my eyes don’t threaten me you’re not menacing stop touching me you’re my allergy there’s no permission for you to speak you say you never wanted pity? guess I don’t want you to breathe im sure you think its funny pulling the strings I hope it hurts you when you laugh to know that you feel something Nothing makes me feel so anxious knowing you can sleep at night knowing you hurt me Pry, it out of me till it makes me bleed it’s all that I need it’s all that I know, you don’t deserve my company pretend that I never knew you

And I don't know Where you can find me I'm hopeful you can read the signs, read the signs Take this personal I'm telling you To save your time Make it up to me By distancing yourself For life (I don't know, where you'll find me) You don't even have a say Please be mindful stay away from me I will never leave a trace You will never be the same again I don't know, if you'll find me

I constantly surrender the key To this kingdom of mine and now the flames engulf me God, I just want to be Someone for who self-immolation doesn't come as easily Old habits die so hard they say And while they live they're slowly killing me No, it's not lost on me That I'm a thousand miles from where I need to be I'm wide awake and my mind's floating out to sea Dwelling on the trivial creates the waves that I know will capsize me I can't seem to stop the way I think- I can't keep me quiet Bind and gag all my synapses and neurons God. I need the silence Shut up- I need some space to breathe Shut up- I need some space lest I disintegrate I constantly surrender the key The only one I will ever need- and the only one that will ever save me

Lying in my bed near the ocean I keep mistaking the waves for the sound of rain And another time near a gravel road A car drives by and it sounds the same My head plays tricks on me oh, all the time I think I need to try to find A way to change the light bulbs in my brain To remember... It's high tide and high time I put the ocean metaphors in the past Because no matter how appealing a gimmick is The appeal will never last Press on, next song- it's all the same Chords rearranged with a different name Never found a better set of gallows for reason Than seeing your face My head plays tricks on me oh, all the time I think I need to try to find A way to change the light bulbs in my brain To remember the growth that comes with rain And that life is dull if it always stays the same The change from melody to dissonance comes with the expectation That I'll instantly become retrospective beyond my years But it seems to be that spouting wisdom- if you'd call it that For the sake of doing so only prepares the groundwork for failing To fix problems that don't need fixing- because that's the wrong idea Or is it just me?
