Standing in the streetlight in this world And I don’t wanna go anywhere I think I said too much You should cut me off, you should drive me home I won’t speak, just how I like. I won’t do anything right I won’t even try Cause when you run, I run too And when I’m home, I’ll press my fingers to the stove And I drink till I don’t feel cold You should’ve left me in the road You should’ve left me in the snow
2.
Lining up for low wages Signing up for a life like this I just dreamed the whole thing by I got lost beneath the sky Running around without a head keep repeating the line I read I digest every word I’m fed But you won’t so hung up on everything I couldn’t tell you what it means Caught off guard by anything I rehearsed a change of scene Where did the last ten years go? Some part of me knows But I like to keep some doors closed I like to walk, eyes blindfolded I like to read your mind as prose I hate to walk the path I chose But you don’t so hung up on everything I couldn’t tell you what it means Caught off guard by anything I rehearsed a change of scene

The ice reminds me Of different sides And when it’s all gone I realize All you lost in a deep freeze Still comes to life And all you thought you left behind Is still shining bright Every word from me Seems to be foam in the sea When any word from you Is poetry There’s a line I’m saving for There’s a word I’m waiting for I never knew things could be so pure There’s a world I’m saving for you

This Topia 03:38
It’s the perfect occasion Dystopia For a celebration Dystopia You’re in a different location Dystopia Were on the same low wave length For so many years we’ve known How much time spent all alone I want to run away I want to hide away from this I don’t wanna waste your time I don’t wanna waste your time tonight
5.
The lights on, can you feel it changing? I rearranged everything worth saving I really thought I’d be alone tonight, it’s alright, I don’t hear you anyway It’s just something I’ve had enough of If you turn I’d be ashamed to Say that I ever even loved Is it too late to throw this all away? Is this something you really feel? Maybe I’m just too fucked up to see lately I think I let the wrong molds shape me If it’s too late then don’t even save me Follow me Don’t follow me It won’t let me go I can’t let it go Is this something you really feel? Maybe I’m just too fucked up to see lately I think I let the wrong molds shape me If it’s too late then don’t even save me

The words don’t come like they used to Sometimes I’ve said it all The truth wont burn like it used to When you’ve said it all I’m walking backwards And you’ve said this before I wish that you were lying I wish I wasn’t sure If I wasn’t so vulnerable I’d wish that you knew more A lifetime's not enough A world in many frames If I could save one for you I’d still look at you the same I wish that you were lying I wish I wasn’t sure If I wasn’t so vulnerable I’d wish that you knew more
7.
I can’t look back fondly now If it’s any consolation, I miss more than consolation But you really won’t believe I really didn’t see I miss the mornings How we used to dream in clouds Forgotten summers now A snow globe under shrouds Sight to see Light I need Opening fields of green

Petrichor 03:04
Waiting at the water and I turn to see your face Wading in the water you open your eyes and slip away It’s not that I don’t want to stay It’s just that I’m not really here It’s not that you’ll be ok But that we all just disappear The right tone to set it off Fast track to sedative With a little luck I’ll pull it off With a twist of fate we’ll all be lost It’s the right night for setting in Don’t let them knock they won’t come in With a twist of fate you’ll pull this off With a little luck we’ll all get lost Wandering the night roads with a light to guide my way I just won the lottery, I’m ready for the rain I want to leave this all behind and feel the same again I want to try this over just do it at all again The right tone to set it off Fast track to sedative With a little luck I’ll pull it off With a twist of fate we’ll all be lost It’s the right night for setting in Don’t let them knock they won’t come in With a twist of fate you’ll pull this off With a little luck we’ll all get lost

It won’t stop spinning Not for a minute The lies erase a thousand days away from me I can’t help but feeling The summers freezing out These lies are fleeting now They’ve gone with you The water waits For nightfall It’s all wrong It’s all for naught The line it takes From B to A From gone to rain From heart to brain The water waits The line it takes For nightfall From heart to brain All the distance and time in the world and I’d still wait for just a minute with you I touched your hand and that was it You sat by me and I froze up like an animal caught in the street like you were supposed to know what I mean and yesterday when I said goodbye i wish I never had to sometimes I wish I never met you just so I’d never have to lose you when you’re not mine to lose and all the salt in the sea turned to gold wouldn’t be enough from me to you but an honest glance would be more from you to me like some shimmering moment from a movie The water waits For nightfall It’s all wrong It’s all for naught The line it takes From B to A From gone to rain From heart to brain The water waits The line it takes For nightfall From heart to brain
11.
I can’t help but hear the floors creak I don’t want to listen when the past speaks to me I’m not really sure what the sounds mean It doesn’t make it better when your voice leaves 3am Wide awake, for what? There’s no end Just another line to cut I see them all waiting there for me But I can’t wake up It’s rain for the ready Rain for the ready Rain for the ready Cold dark and heavy Rain for the ready 3am Wide awake, for what? There’s no end Just another line to cut I see them all waiting there for me But I can’t wake up It’s rain for the ready
