I have given you time,
The ties that have bound us together,
you should have unshackled my lies,
I never saw it in you,
I never saw it in your eyes,
The arms that have pulled us apart,
Were we doomed from the start?
You will never be alright.
As seconds you pass by,
As minutes your color is fading away,
As hours you dream of a better man you know you can not have.
As days it drags on,
As weeks you still hold on to regret,
As months it turns to years of loneliness.
Streetlights shine a light down on your face,
You turn around and say "you were never there".
Only one set of footsteps where we used to be,
We were different points in time without harmony.

Pulling tight, on this aching mind,
I try to fill the gaps you left behind.
Counting down, borrowed time left by your side,
when your lips would talk your eyes would still tell lies.
In your car, when you'd press against the backseat,
I was torn I'd let you slip inside the shell.
As the moon flew by,
You whispered his name for the first time,
I knew you never said goodbye.

Quicksilver

No matter how hard I clench my fists,
You keep seeping through my fingers.
Like quicksilver on a piece of glass,
You’re a million little pieces.
No matter how fast you run away,
Your presence still lingers.
Like quicksilver intoxicating,
My soul and my senses.
Why do you keep.
Running away.
From me.
And why do you try.
So hard to hide.
From me.
Believe me when I say my darling I’d never,
Ever erase your silver linings.
It will always be just you and me,
in our quiet company if you let me.

Far North

It's been cold here in August,
It's been like that since you left.
You moved up north,
Flew on wings of discontent.
These past few months,
I thought things could turn around,
And I remember when you first said,
Things will never be the same.
And I'm trying to keep you from leaving.
It's been cold here in August,
And the time we never had.
We spent desperately holding on,
Until the ties couldn't take it no more,
Until the lies were too far gone,
Your heart couldn't love no more.
And I'm trying to keep you from leaving.
It's been cold here in August,
I'll be waiting when you come home.

Soft touch on silver skin,
Coffee stains pressed on Autumn leaves.
Recluse, punching holes in this lovers wall.
There is nothing new, I am still the one who ruined you.
Honey drips from your eyes,
Time was always a step behind.
Refused, forever was me and you.
There is nothing new, I am still the one who ruined you.
The moment when we both fell dead,
It was cold, it was consequence,
Months have passed it still feels the same,
Your presence lingers when I'm not awake.
There's only you. (There's nothing new)

January

And it felt like a dream,
Melting heat in the Winter's peak,
And the place you would hide me in,
Only our bodies knew how to speak.
Memories of you stepping through snow and sand,
Footsteps you left behind are just,
Withering out like the thought in my mind,
Of what you once knew and loved,
When his heart wasn't there from the start.
January came crashing in,
In your old soul,
Two years in a row,
Do we have to let go?
Say it's over.
When you were not there,
Several hundredth miles away,
I thought of things to say.
When you come back,
When the ice melts again,
When you promise you won't walk away.

Ruined Home

Shaking off thoughts of the intersecting lines that paved our paths,
Tracing tracks you left on the shore, you moved with hope.
Reflections in the lake, I can see you when your eyes weren't red,
You wouldn't scorn when I would hold out my hand,
The ripples never forget.
Followed you down this endless stretch,
From frozen walks down to the hottest mess,
Between lies without consequence, we moved with grace.
Biding time as my life runs by,
Serving time locked up deep inside,
Pulling threads just to weigh me down,
The wounds will always be found.
Hold on, you've been alone for far too long,
The place you call home has long been gone.
You've been digging 'til pain was the only thing you could taste,
Empathy wraps around me, she was crying in her sleep.
Dreams of smiles, love soaring through those chestnut eyes,
The subtle ways our fingers would tangle and tie,
That one place we thought no one would ever touch.
It's just a ruined home.

Full Of Hate
01:40
|

|
There are still marks on my front door,
Where you promised you won't let go,
There are footnotes on pages of stories you read,
When you could still call my heart home.
I've been keeping secrets from you,
Wasted months on deceiving you,
I never choose the honest move,
Sit alone in my empty room.
I never took you for a fool,
I spent my life living without a heart,
You always helped me not to drown,
But instead I drowned you out.
There's this motion in the moves you make,
When you wrap your hands around my neck,
There's this emotion in every breath you take,
Your eyes are still full of hate.

Lover's Embrace
01:47
|

|
You've been standing outside my front door that night,
With your arms outstretched in the dark,
Keeping me close but not close enough,
Cause the thing you loved tore you apart.
Close your eyes we're still standing in time,
We're those late Summer moments that we both loved,
It's been over a year since we're finding it hard,
To say goodbye, to fall out of love.
Trapped in place in this lover's embrace,
As the doors open you pull me you whisper,
The softest things without ever saying a single thing.
Open your eyes we're still holding too tight,
We're those late Winter moments when we fell in love,
It's been way too long to keep moving in time,
To say goodbye, to fall out of love.

Recurring Event

This place makes me tired of shit that it brings,
I can not focus I'm losing my sleep,
Take me back to where the sun never sets,
Where we didn't waste our lives on regret,
In my mind I'm still holding your hand,
Where the waves meet the pier we're still there,
I should've cherished the things that I love,
I should've kept my only way out of.
