Pacing back and forth
I don't want to go to war
I can feel the cold
I forgot to bring a coat
Wishing you would call me back
Just to break the wind again
You've left me to feel alone
From the bottom of my heart
I'll run away
I'll take my time and erase your name
I'll read between the lines
I'll take what's yours and mine
And I will throw it all away
And you're to blame
All the tears I've led
All the towels that have bled
All the floors I've feared
For you to leave me just this year
I don't want you to go
I scream your name beyond the road
What's it like to be alone
From the bottom of my heart
I'll run away
I'll take my time and erase your name
I'll read between the lines
I'll take what's yours and mine
And I will throw it all away
And you're to blame

Numb the pain, I've let my teeth decay
I guess I'll wash my mouth out with some Tanqeuray
I look at postcards of memories I can't afford to make
Silhouettes upon a lonesome bridge
I open up the door, there's nothing in the fridge
Besides a box of lies in which I can't afford to fucking reminisce
What is this
Faux emotion
Threw my phone out into the ocean
Kept it folded and sealed the garden
Withered flowers locked inside my closet
Dishonest
Shed a tear and get me out of here
I guess it's not as simple as it may appear
I look at songs I wrote when I was too young to know fear
Daydream of a point in time I've lost
The miracle I wished for, never knew the cost
I throw my faults over the lines I know I've crossed upon
I guess it's
Faux emotion
Threw my phone out into the ocean
Kept it folded and sealed the garden
Withered flowers locked inside my closet
Dishonest

Metronome, my only friend
The one who keeps me on the track
I take my time, and yet I still can't hit my notes
I sing away, I write my lines
I let the music become mine
And yet I freeze, I wonder if I've lost control
I wonder if I took too long
(I wonder why I write this song)
I wonder if I took too long
The record spins and I wish it would stop
I wish I could fight it off
We're just diamonds in the rough
I hope you hear the love I show
I wish you would steal my dreams
For you to burst right at the seams
I don't want to fight alone

Poem

Sometimes I walk upon dandelion seeds
That grow in the vast forest I roam upon
And yet, somehow, some way, all I do is bleed
Under the ever-blinding rays of the sun
Who am I, and where did all of the time go?
A bittersweet taste, the fruits of my labor
The grass remains green, but my hair's yet to grow
Someone told me that you would be my savior
My vision begins to turn to pitch black
But never my undying sorrow
Memories I'll never get back
Can I please see tomorrow?
All I need to know is
Where did you go?

I don't have much going on
I think I worry a bit too much
I should go easy on myself
What's the point of make believe?
You can have me when you please
I'll put your postcard on the shelf
Hold onto me
I'll take the lead
Oh, can't you see?
You're all I need
What's the point of being numb?
Your name is stuck here on my tongue
You know I miss you when you're gone
Lately
Wear my heart here on my sleeve
Painting pictures in my dreams
And every second you're with me
Always playing make believe
Hold onto me
I'll take the lead
Oh, can't you see?
You're all I need
