boss battle
04:45
|
|||
|
work my fingers to the bone
lie and tell myself i’m better off alone
i am stuck running scared
out of breath and ill prepared
few things last
nothing’s ever set in stone.
we tempted fate
just to save face
after our fall from grace
try to disguise
cover with lies
choices that we despise
you’re supposed to be
stronger than me
or so you’d like to think.
instead i’ll hide
pretend it’s fine
nursing this heart of mine.
it’s safe to say
we did our best to slow things down
to stay the same
sit in a cage
made up of our mistakes
sit in the dark
drifting apart
both sick of stop and start
escape the mess
smoke and have sex
go numb avoid the stress
we overthink
dive in the drink
which never solved a thing
just go to sleep
fall back and dream
brains bursting at the seams
we’ve grown cold
patience thin
fighting a battle that neither will ever win

dance, dance: revolution
01:59
|

|
prepare for it your whole life
those are baby steps taken in stride
you won't be ready when it all stops
buried in the ashes with shopping mall cops
the planet is melting
we dance on remains
of your family's old dwellings
to future refrains
just dance cause we're surely not to blame

out with routine
new ways of breathing
an ideal environment
can't seem to inspire it
baton pass to scientist
my neurons, misfiring
it's in through the woods and out through the window
it's reducting the harm, remaining in limbo
it's the feeling you get when every day it goes
so it goes...
so i need:
new ways to assess self-worth
cute pills that go down well
a few coping methods for hurt
blue prayers to lead me from hell
but i need something else
there's not a word for it
no eye can render it
no brain remembers it
yet still i try

parting shot
03:23
|
|||
|
another fight, another doubt
of every word out of your mouth
your constant lies, a droning hum
i think i loved myself more alone and numb
cold stares and smart remarks
are our currency these days
false hopes and blue grey smoke
fill the room with an anxious haze
get up, get out, or give in
break the cycle or accept your end
once lovers, now a ghost of a friend
what we had once is gone and dead
(luke)
i guess this is how it all ends
strangers now; once impossible to bend
i look at myself and hate what i've become
i think i loved myself more alone and numb
no luck, just a parting shot
i disappointed you but gave it all i got
your constant lies, a droning hum
i loved myself more alone and numb
