Leave me out of this mess
I never asked for this pain
That I’ve caused myself
From running in place
Watching life roll by
This winter’s cold enough
To drag me down,
Down below my pace again
I’ve written these words
Deep inside my chest
And you know that I’ve been wrong
And I know that I can’t do this
On my own
And I refuse to
live like this forever
(and never let go of this crutch)
I’ve built myself up
I’ll pull myself together
(and take some time to get it right)
By the time my well’s run dry
I’ll be safe
And I’ll be sound
And I won’t have to
stay awake at night
And fight all these things
running through my mind
I’ve been cut down to the core
I’ve been broken, battered and sore
From all the times
I’ve been trapped in a mess
That I created Alone
And if I live like this forever
(and never let go of this crutch)
I’ll always be lost,
We’ll never be together
(I’ll face it on my own)
But I won’t let myself
Feel that way again
I’m gonna pick up
What I’ve lost until
I’ve found the life
That I’ve been looking for
As if I had a choice at all

Concerning Myself

Take a look outside
This happens all the time
Did you live it up
like you were told?
When the curtain comes
Will you stay or go?
Let the world
Turn in on itself
It seems that all I’ve got
It was all for not
Cause I’ve had friends
And lost touch
with most of them
But through the choices we make
Is it worth the ties we break?
This life feels more
Like something we’ll sit through
And I’ll count
All these years
Until we’re free
Well I’m a bit concerned
All this time was spent resenting
And I wish
I lived every day
Like I was leaving
I’ve been told
the road ahead will
Take us home
The further on we go
The more it’s all unknown
I’m taking detours now
Show me what
lost is all about
You say please
Slow time down
Well I say
Just get me out
This life feels more
Like something we’ll sit through
And I’ll count
All these years
Until we’re free
Well I’m a bit concerned
All this time was spent resenting
And I wish
I lived every day
Like I was leaving
You promised me a spring,
one as beautiful and clean
As how I used to be
This life feels more
Like something we’ll sit through
And I’ll count
All these years
Until we’re free
Well I’m a bit concerned
All this time was spent resenting
And I wish
I lived every day
Like I was leaving
Because now I am
And I’m terrified
I’ll just disappoint
No reasons dignify
These plans I won’t enjoy
Sadness and nostalgia
Drink to forget
Have affairs with
What could have been
Like it or not - this is it
Like it or not - this is it

Well I’ve been walking backwards
Another foot behind the other
Another step I can’t recover
(cause this is all routine,
And not at all for me)
I’ve been lost, alone, and waiting here
Hoping that this week would disappear
Well I’ve been
coming clean with myself
While you tried
To put out fires
That I could not contain
Take what you can,
Give nothing back
Save your sorrys for
The lives we used to have
Would someone please
explain to me
Our youth just left like
It had seen
How we act when lights go out
And we die like all good things
I need to take some time
And settle down so I can
Clear my fucking mind
These days drag on and on
While I just wait
For something new
I try to tell myself
That things will be alright
But I’m not so sure
And I can’t figure out
What’s going on
And what the fuck
Is wrong with me
I’ve lost all sense of self control
Its gotten to the point where I can’t see
Just who exactly you want me to be
I’ve done everything, I’ve given up,
This life’s just not for me
So ignite your soul,
Before your life spins ‘
Out of control
Take away the pain and doubt
Till you’ve got nothing to stress about
And when the time comes that you feel
Like you can’t take it anymore
Just remember,
Ignore the impulse,
Take it slow,
And just go
Home.

I’m failing out again
With my plans
like puzzle pieces and I
Can’t fit into them
A failed architect for
What hasn’t happened yet
I build these plans up
And I leave them for dead
Well I’ve been wasting my time
All wrong
Holding my own I just don’t know
For how long
Neglecting everything
I once loved
Forgotten everything
I’ve learned from
You history is set
Don’t let your future
Get as set up in stone
There’s always more
Time to grow
So question everything
But don’t lose any sleep
On all of this shit -
Nothing is permanent
Well I’ve been wasting my time
All wrong
Holding my own I just don’t know
For how long
Neglecting everything
I once loved
Forgotten everything
I’ve learned from
Routine is dangerous -
Look what it’s done to us
Well I’ve been wasting my time
All wrong
Holding my own I just don’t know
For how long
Neglecting everything
I once loved
Forgotten everything
I’ve learned from
Forgotten everything
I’ve learned from.
