Our story ends
Just retell how we cope
We lit a candle every night
Hoping that what we lost comes back

Over Me
03:40

|
Tell me what happened to me?
Cause I've felt asleep for countless weeks
Caught with a cyclical fiend
Will you let me be?
I want to dream
Haven't felt like myself for some time
I don't mind, I'll be alright
just take me out
I see a pattern, obscuring the distance
Follows me around, shrouding my thinking
Malign geometry,
taking over me
I think that I've lost something
am I the victim, am I the thief?
I want to act purposely
but then senselessly my actions speak
Haven't felt like myself for some time
I don't mind, I'll be alright
just take me out
I see a pattern, obscuring the distance
Follows me around, shrouding my thinking
It's laced with symmetry,
taking over me
Cognizance set us up to fail
Cautiousness breaks the time we fall down, down, down
Cognizance set us up to fail
Cautiousness breaks the time we fall down, down, down, down, down
Haven't felt like myself for some time
I don't mind, I'll be alright
just take me out
I see a pattern, obscuring the distance
Follows me around, shrouding my thinking
Emerging apathy,
taking over me

Old flames and new waters
half-expose lies, plans
Mask everything
I shut the door, draw the curtains
mix once, cut twice
Waver, undecide, shun
Your tiles, fours, tens
overexpose the losing hand
in mine
when I let you go
there might not be someone left to lead you
Pursuing, following,
Your every mark and score, Braille!
Down to the letter, to the grave
In scripted conflicts
I am the spokes, I'm the wheel and not the frail
Clarity like sight-read braille!
Command, demand my eyes,
As we fade from friends to enemies,
you count all of your uncertainties
Can you call me back now? Oh, please!
This chance settled off for the shores
Unsure
Off to the side, out of my mind
Are you keeping yourself in
Or are you just keeping me out?
Enough!
Pursuing, following,
Your every mark and score, Braille!
Down to the letter, to the grave
In scripted conflicts
I am the spokes, I'm the wheel and not the frail
Clarity like sight-read braille!
Go on,
Spin this wheel of misfortune,
And we'll see on which prayers I'll die
Everything was better once
Until it wasn't
You're someone else's
You're my nothing
Bitten once by blindness
My umbrage will redefine:
My love or lust,
Who are you?
Old flames and new waters
half-expose lies, plans
Mask everything
I close the door
And I can't wait for good times
To pass unnoticed by my misery
Pursuing, following,
Your every mark and score, Braille!
Down to the letter, to the grave
In scripted conflicts
I am the spokes, I'm the wheel and not the frail
Clarity like Braille, Braille, Braille!

In a game of scarring hearts
I'll lose and rip apart
the deck of cards
Is this the knife you saved for my heart?
Hello, tarot
A game of scars
I'll lose and rip apart
the deck of cards
Is this the knife you saved for my heart?
Hello?
The photos were torn
But the negatives
are burned in my mind
forevermore
In a game of scarring hearts
I'll lose and rip apart
the deck of cards
Is this the knife you saved for my heart?
Hello, tarot
A game of scars
I'll lose and rip apart
the deck of cards
Is this the knife you saved for my heart?
Tonight
I will find my answer
Hello, tarot
Tonight
I will find my answer
Hello, tarot
Tonight
The two of hearts
ripped in twain
in games of cards
was causing pain
for this has-been
for her
for us
the better halves
were best off alone
In a game of scarring hearts
I'll lose and rip apart
the deck of cards
Is this the knife you saved for my heart?
Hello, tarot
The game I've ripped apart

Mellow

Longing looks
and tired eyes
would betray me with their lies
Redraw the lines you cross
and deny whats within your grasp!
So mellow! So shallow!
Tears dim up my eyes
Guilt brims over within
Pain decays
But love prevails
over you
Longing looks
and tired eyes
would betray me with their lies
Redraw the lines you cross
and deny whats within your grasp!
So mellow! So shallow!
I am so afraid to go on
to tell the truth to you
And I'll run away from all of this
'cause I've hurt you enough as it is
So come sweet death!
Come sweet death!
So what? I can
forget all about you
or I can disappear
So forgive me
for all that I have done!
Get out of mind
Out of my mind and my sight!

I think I finally let go
Untangled stars, sheets of art
I finally released the embrace
I abdicated the throne, my frown
I left our kingdom of long nights for sunshine
And I confess I´m glad I did that for myself
But I still glance back at
The moment I abandon you
To face sundown all alone, all alone
When I leave
You still want me,
To crawl back down to you,
To crawl into the cavern,
That only fit us two
And I still glance back at
The moment I abandon you
To face sundown all alone, all alone
When I leave you to your demons
And for me to fend off my own
I am
Blanking on the faces that you never want to think about
If I get up to higher places, drag me down to yours
But now I won't shrink myself to you
Drink your rain, try to move your
Mountain ranges of misery, I grew
I am above it all
But of course
There's still regret, regret
Know I still wish the best for you
Even if you still think that it's me
I can just hope that you
Find it someday, someday soon
You are worlds away now
But I still hum a lullaby for you
I sing songs of sunrise
Hope it brings you peace tonight
